Independent Proof LLC website

Source for independentproofllc.com. independentproofllc.org serves the same site.

Today the site is a single holding page. It says the company is in preparation, that there is nothing to do yet, that the domain is not for sale, and that unsolicited inquiries are not accepted. It deliberately carries no email address, phone number, postal address, form, social links or names, so there is nothing on it for a scraper to harvest. Search engines are told to stay away, both in the page (noindex) and in robots.txt.

Working on it

npm run build        # copies public/ to dist/, which is what every deploy sends

There are no dependencies to install. Open public/index.html in a browser to preview it.

To change	Edit
The page's wording, layout or seal	public/index.html (the styles are at the top)
Whether search engines may index it	the robots meta tag in public/index.html, and public/robots.txt
Fonts	public/fonts/: Cinzel, EB Garamond and Pinyon Script, latin subset, self-hosted so a visit makes no third-party request. Each font's licence (SIL OFL 1.1) sits beside it.

The seal's scalloped edge, rosette and the page's guilloche border are generated geometry, pasted into the page as static SVG so it needs no script.

Deploying

Start9 Pages (StartOS test server)

The same method as the YPBA site: the files live in NextExplorer, and Start9 Pages serves them from there. scripts/nextexplorer.mjs talks to NextExplorer's API, and its deploy command publishes the site.

1. Copy deploy.local.env.example to deploy.local.env (git-ignored) and fill it in. The password goes in its own mode-600 file, never in that file.

2. Deploy:

   npm run deploy:pages                  # build and publish
   npm run deploy:pages -- --dry-run     # show what would be sent
   npm run nx -- rollback                # put the previous version back
   

3. After the first deploy only: in StartOS, open Start9 Pages → Actions → Manage Websites, and add a site with source NextExplorer and the path that deploy prints.

NextExplorer never overwrites on upload, so deploy uploads the build into a fresh folder and then swaps it into place. One previous version is kept as <name>.previous.

Public host

Not chosen yet. See TODO.md.

Layout

Path	What
public/	The site, served as it is
scripts/build.mjs	Builds dist/
scripts/nextexplorer.mjs	NextExplorer file access and the Start9 Pages deploy (shared with the YPBA site's repo)
TODO.md	What's left

Rules for this repo

• Server hostnames, LAN addresses, usernames and passwords go only in git-ignored files (deploy.local.env). The public domains are the site's content and belong here.
• Keep the page free of contact details of any kind until that is a deliberate decision.
