Initial Build

Started building today. Got the bones in place.

Infrastructure

Set up the GitHub repo and connected it to Vercel. Every push to main triggers an auto-deploy. Connected the custom domain — seattleintelligence.co is now live, DNS routed through Porkbun.

Design system

Implemented the "Pompeii" color system — inspired by Roman frescoes. Warm parchment background in light mode, candlelit charcoal in dark mode. Deep red for hover states only. Ochre gold for accents.

Typography: Cormorant Garamond for headlines (classical gravitas), DM Sans for body text (clean legibility).

The logo

Added the spinning blackberry coin. It rotates on a 4-second loop. Light and dark variants swap automatically with the theme.

Theme system

Built dark/light mode with system preference detection. If you haven't manually toggled, it follows your device. Once you choose, it remembers.

Mobile

Optimized for iPhone mini (375px). Responsive padding, typography, and layout. The theme toggle shows just the icon on mobile, adds "Theme" label on desktop.

Testing

Set up Vitest with React Testing Library. 17 tests passing — covering theme logic and responsive behavior.
