Spent the last stretch on the parts of the project that aren’t the app itself. Rewrote the README three times. First pass just bolted an English version onto the Hungarian one and it ballooned to 351 lines. Second pass I tried to make it “proper” and somehow ended up at 3,185 words, which is longer than most of my essays and nobody was ever going to read it. Third pass I threw that out and wrote it like I’d explain the thing to a friend. Ended up at 184 lines, shorter than what I started with, in two languages instead of one.Then rewrote the whole website. The old one had a big slogan hero, “Neptun, the way it should work on your phone”, which sounds nice but doesn’t tell you what the thing actually is. New one just says it: an unofficial Neptun client for Android, with a little spec row underneath (platform, licence, tracking, price) so you get the whole picture in about two seconds. 13 files, ~5k lines. Also finally wired the site into the app repo as a submodule so they stop drifting apart. Not the most exciting work but the feedback from last ship was that people couldn’t tell what the project was if they didn’t speak Hungarian, so this was the fix.
