Concept: specimen library homepage

[corwinm]

Concept

Explores Haphazard.dev as a product specimen library: a light, gallery-like collection where each project is treated as a designed object with an accession record, visual form, materials, and design notes.

Positioning under review

• Primary line: Useful software, considered as objects.
• Emphasizes the care and distinct character behind each tool rather than presenting a unified platform.
• Moves away from terminals, notebooks, and conventional project cards toward a curated product-museum experience.

Review notes

This is an exploratory draft. The Netlify deploy preview renders the concept directly at its root URL. It does not propose merging the design as-is.

The page includes noindex,nofollow metadata for preview review.
