envolv-www

The envolv.org marketing site — English at /, Spanish at /es, light or dark to match the visitor's system setting. One landing page + a live-demo page + three comparison pages (/compare/…) + the privacy policy + demo-request capture.

This is Workstream B of the Envolv roadmap (ROADMAP.md in the medvolunteer repo). It is deliberately a separate repo — see DECISIONS.md.

Commands

npm install
npm run dev     # http://localhost:3100
npm run build
npm run lint

Port 3100, not Next's default 3000 — 3000 is taken by another project on Sean's machine, and Next silently bumping itself to 3001 is a confusing way to find that out. Vercel ignores the flag and assigns its own port, so this only affects local dev.

Environment

Copy .env.example → .env.local. Set the same vars on the Vercel project.

Var	Required	Purpose
RESEND_API_KEY	yes	Sends the demo-request notification. Missing → the form returns a visible error rather than silently dropping the lead.
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL	yes	Must be on a Resend-verified domain. envolv.org was verified 2026-08-26, so use [email protected].
DEMO_NOTIFY_EMAILS	yes	Comma-separated. Every demo request goes to all of them. Adding a founder = an env var edit, no code change.
NOTION_TOKEN	recommended	Secret of the "envolv-www leads" Notion integration. Saves each demo request as a row in Website Leads. Missing → leads are email-only.
NOTION_LEADS_DATA_SOURCE_ID	recommended	Data source id of the Website Leads database (c38d2ca0-…, see Vercel).
RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET	for support@	Signing secret of the Resend webhook that calls /api/inbound (Resend → Webhooks → the inbox.email.received one, whsec_…).
RESEND_INBOX_API_KEY	for support@	A full-access Resend key — reading a received message needs it. Separate from RESEND_API_KEY, which stays sending-only.
SUPPORT_FORWARD_TO	no	Comma-separated; who gets support@ mail. Defaults to DEMO_NOTIFY_EMAILS.
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_URL	no	Base URL of the demo app that /demo sends visitors into. Defaults to https://envolv-demo.vercel.app.

⚠️ NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_URL is the only NEXT_PUBLIC_* var here, and that is on purpose. In the medvolunteer repo, build-time inlining of NEXT_PUBLIC_* caused a production login outage — vars were saved to Vercel ~10h after the last build, so the deployed bundle never got them. Everything on this site that matters (Resend key, recipients) is read on the server at request time and never baked into the browser bundle. Keep it that way.

That does not mean changes are instant: Vercel applies an env-var change only to deployments created after it. Change a var → Redeploy (Deployments → ⋯ → Redeploy), or the live site keeps the old value.

This repo is public (envolvapp/envolv-www). Real addresses and keys live only in the Vercel project — never in .env.example or anywhere else here.

Content

All copy that makes a claim — pricing, competitor figures, vertical list — lives in lib/content.ts (and, for the comparison pages, lib/compare.ts), not scattered through JSX. Pricing and positioning follow the founders' action plan of 2026-10-31: one plan, priced in bands by active volunteers (anyone with a completed shift, clock-in or logged hour in the past 12 months), unlimited admins on every paid band, no feature gates, clinics as the lead audience. Competitor figures carry their sources and the date they were checked (AS_OF, SOURCES). Change the decision, change content.ts.

The site lists only what ships today (2026-10-30 — this replaced the "Soon" badges). A roadmap feature is not on the site at all until it's live in the app; when it lands, add it to PAID_FEATURES in content.ts (every paid band gets it). The header comment of content.ts lists what was checked against the app and when.

Comparison pages (/compare/volgistics-alternative-for-clinics, /compare/get-connected-alternative, /compare/envolv-vs-civic-champs, and the same under /es) are one component, components/ComparePage.tsx, fed by lib/compare.ts. Their price rows are computed from BANDS / PRICE_POINTS, so they can't drift from the pricing section. Named competitors appear only in these dated, sourced comparisons and the home page's comparison table (DECISIONS 2026-10-31). Re-check every competitor figure, and bump AS_OF, whenever you touch them.

Both languages live in the same file. Every visible claim in content.ts is an { en, es } pair, and the interface copy (headings, buttons, form labels) is in lib/copy.ts. Change a sentence in one language, change it in the other. Prices, limits and seat counts are plain numbers, so they can't drift between languages. The Spanish uses "tú", like the Envolv apps, and still needs a native speaker's read (ROADMAP B6).
