Recordly/aside-react/README.md

Recordly landing page and reference archive

This project contains two separate deliverables:

• extracted/index.original.html: the public homepage HTML downloaded directly from https://aside.com/.
• extracted/public-source/: 61 linked public JavaScript, CSS, font, and image resources, with provenance in extracted/manifest.json.
• src/: the Recordly landing page, with Recordly demos, recording/editing features, cloud-sharing information, and legal routes. The established layout and locally saved visual assets are preserved.

The extraction is compiled public output, not Aside's original Next.js source or backend. It is a reference archive, not a standalone runnable mirror; additional lazy-loaded routes and API responses are not archived. Original third-party assets retain their owners' rights. The React application does not run the archived scripts or tracking code.

Run

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:5178. Run npm run build for production output and npm run preview to inspect it.

Implementation

The blog lives at /blog and starts with an empty state. It uses the same SiteHeader.jsx, font, navigation controls, and button styles as the landing page. The light header preserves the original accent-blue Recordly mark. Blog is a direct navigation link; there is no Tutorials page or generated article content.

Add hand-written articles to the empty array in src/blog/posts.js when needed. The existing article renderer supports paragraphs, lists, tables, and code blocks. npm run build prerenders the blog and any authored articles with metadata and a sitemap. Set VITE_SITE_URL at build time to the actual deployment origin; its default matches the existing review host. Run node scripts/check-blog.mjs after building to verify that no generated articles or tutorial routes remain.

The header's Pricing link opens /pricing, a dedicated Free/Cloud comparison based on the source pricing layout. The Cloud amount and numeric limits load from the public managed-service catalog; an unavailable or invalid response shows a retry state instead of an invented price. Subscriptions are started in the Recordly app. /billing remains the separate billing-and-refunds policy.

The hero announcement is hidden by default: set heroAnnouncement in src/main.jsx to { title, href } when a post should be featured.

The Recordly legal drafts are available at /privacy, /terms, /billing and /contact, with /policy/privacy and /policy/terms aliases for existing links. They mirror services/recordly-share/worker/web/src/pages/; keep both copies in sync when changing policy wording. Pages remain marked as drafts and noindex until the VITE_LEGAL_* publication details are valid and explicitly approved after operator review. Production hosting must serve index.html for these client-side routes.

• Responsive desktop/mobile navigation with dropdowns, Escape handling, and outside-click dismissal.
• Recordly hero video, sticky Record/Preview/Share walkthrough, automatic-zoom and cursor demos, pricing overview, privacy information, and footer.
• Reduced-motion support, keyboard focus styling, semantic sections, and a skip link.
• Download buttons lead to the official Recordly GitHub releases page. No unpublished beta artifact is advertised. Availability was checked against GitHub on 2026-10-24: v1.4.0 is the latest public release and 2.0 beta remains in preparation. Update that availability text when the beta is published.
• Pricing amounts are deliberately not duplicated here. The desktop app displays the server-verified /api/billing/catalog entry and checks it against the account's checkout price; this page links to the billing policy and directs visitors to the app for current pricing.
• wrangler.jsonc deploys this app as the separate recordly-beta-landing static-assets Worker, including SPA fallback for legal routes. After npm run build, deploy from this directory using the existing Cloudflare CLI (wrangler deploy). The review preview is https://recordly-beta-landing.youngchen3442.workers.dev. This configuration does not attach a custom domain. The existing root website and videos.recordly.dev service remain separate; root-domain cutover requires an explicit hosting/domain decision.

Public resources were extracted on 2026-09-21. To refresh the reference archive, run python3 extracted/extract.py after replacing extracted/index.original.html with a fresh download. The script fetches only static resources referenced by that HTML and its linked bundles.
