The /start page now gives first-time visitors a compact guide through Simple mode, Advanced mode, Proof Runs, receipts, projects, accounts, support, and Veela
A compact onboarding sequence now explains how to enter GLEE without losing the advanced browser-OS/world identity.
This receipt is public proof of a public-facing event. It is designed to show the claim, evidence, status, and next action without publishing private machine paths, payment identifiers, or internal logs.
Ask Veela about receiptsWhat changed
The /start route now acts as a compact entry guide with seven ordered steps, a Simple/Advanced comparison, live-state cards, and route choices for Veela, receipts, and projects.
What
Rebuilt /start as a first-visit sequence, linked the homepage curiosity card to /start, added guide/status/mode comparison styling, and fixed missing default page accent tokens so primary buttons stay visible.
Why
New visitors need one route that tells them how Simple mode, Advanced mode, Proof Runs, receipts, projects, support, accounts, and Veela fit together.
How
Updated the start template, homepage visitor card, shared stylesheet, and CSS version. Rebuilt and deployed the public site, then verified local and live routes plus desktop/mobile browser behavior.
Next action
Add a Veela-backed guided question flow that can answer first-visit questions from public-safe site state.
