Ordinum Website
Marketing site for ordinum.org. Ordinum is a local testing tool for engineers: connect a system, define the rules it must obey, run controlled failure scenarios, reproduce what fails and check the fix. It ships as a CLI (ordinum, installed from source) and Python integration interfaces, with custom integrations written alongside pilot teams, and runs on your machine. It is research-stage:
- ROS 2 / Nav2 in simulation is Built & validated.
- PocketBase (one host), the
ordinum.agents kit (planted fixtures only), MQTT (Eclipse Mosquitto 2.0.22 with a NanoMQ 0.25.7 edge bridge, on by default) and a four-process testbed are Built, experimental.
Pages:
- home
- home: what Ordinum does and how it is delivered, the flagship recording, three workflow steps, testing areas with maturity labels, two Labs articles, one pilot invitation
- Products:
/products (one workflow #how-it-works, what you install, commands, outputs), /products/software, /products/agents, /products/robotics, /roadmap
- Demos:
/demos (the flagship PocketBase recording at the top, #demo-flagship, then the other runs) and /demos/nav2-walkthrough (the step-by-step Nav2 run, formerly /demo)
- Ordinum Labs:
/labs (published articles only) and /labs/[slug] (typed articles in lib/labs.ts)
- Evidence packages:
/evidence/[case] (manifest in lib/evidence-packages.ts; files in public/evidence/<case>/)
/security (network isolation per integration #network, operating limits, how a run works #architecture / #lifecycle / #reproduction), /about, /contact/terms and /privacy: interim legal pages (see Legal pages)- Old URLs (
/product, /technology, /research, /vision, /demo, /solution, /how-it-works, /problem) redirect in one 308 hop (next.config.ts).
All copy lives in lib/content.ts. See CLAUDE.md for the project structure, conventions and the rules for technical claims.
Stack
- Next.js 15 (App Router) + React 19 + TypeScript (strict)
- Tailwind CSS v4 (design tokens in
app/globals.css via @theme)
- Motion (
motion/react) for animation
- Supabase for contact-form inquiries (written by a server action)
- Resend for optional new-inquiry email notifications (plain
fetch, no SDK)
- Playwright for smoke tests, claims checks and screenshots
- Hosted on Vercel
Local development
Requires Node.js 20+.
npm install
cp .env.example .env # then fill in the Supabase values (Resend is optional)
npm run dev # http://localhost:8080
Other scripts:
| Command | Description |
|---|
npm run build | Production build |
npm run start | Serve the production build |
npm run lint | Run ESLint |
npm run typecheck | Run tsc --noEmit |
npm test | Playwright tests against next start on port 3000 (build first) |
npm run screenshots | Full-page and per-section screenshots (SHOTS_DIR sets output; SHOTS_ROUTES, SHOTS_WIDTHS, SHOTS_MODES, SHOTS_EXTRAS=0 filter) |
First Playwright run: npx playwright install chromium. If Chromium's system libraries are outside the default path, set PLAYWRIGHT_CHROMIUM_LIBS (see playwright.config.ts). If port 3000 is busy, set PLAYWRIGHT_PORT.
What npm test covers:
- every route (
tests/routes.ts) at seven widths from 320 to 1920 px: one h1, no console errors, no horizontal overflow
- the nav disclosures (keyboard open, Escape returns focus, outside click and focus-out close, not hover-only) and the mobile accordion
- the home structure (hero with delivery line, recording, three steps, testing areas, two articles, one CTA band) and the moved anchors (
#how-it-works on /products; #architecture, #lifecycle, #reproduction, #network on /security)
- every internal link on every route returns 200 without a redirect; old URLs redirect in one hop; old
/#section links
- titles (home is exactly "Ordinum", others end " | Ordinum"), canonical URLs, social metadata, JSON-LD with both co-founders, sitemap and robots, the 404 page
- evidence packages: only published files are linked, and each matches its SHA-256; both PocketBase terminal logs are served
- the
/demos recording (captions, transcript, decodes, never autoplays), Labs articles (question and result first, author, date, methods note, evidence links), the CI sentence
- labels on the contact form; the Nav2 walkthrough steps without JavaScript and by keyboard
- a homepage word budget: at most 650 words (the copy pass cut the 778-word home page by about a third)
- a claims guard (
tests/claims.site.spec.ts), which fails on withdrawn benchmark numbers and on banned phrasing (including "independent review", treasury/M17 numbers, retired test counts and meta headings) in rendered pages, metadata and source files, and on any em dash in rendered text or <head>
Deployment
Every push to main deploys to production on Vercel. Pushes to other branches get a preview URL.
Environment variables are server-only. Set them in Vercel → Project → Settings → Environment Variables.
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|
SUPABASE_URL | yes | Supabase project URL |
SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY | yes | Publishable (anon) key; the server action inserts into inquiries |
RESEND_API_KEY | no | Turns on new-inquiry emails. When it is unset, notifications are skipped and a single log line is written that contains no submission content. |
INQUIRY_NOTIFY_TO | no | Recipient(s) for notifications, comma-separated. Defaults to [email protected]. |
INQUIRY_NOTIFY_FROM | no | Sender. Defaults to Resend's shared test sender; production should use an address on a domain verified in Resend. |
A notification failure never fails a submission. Submission content is never logged. Tests may only send to Resend's test recipient, [email protected].
Database
The schema lives in supabase/migrations.
inquiries (from 20261024000000_inquiries.sql) stores contact-form submissions. It is append-only, so repeat inquiries from the same email are kept.
- Columns:
email, company, working_on, message, technology_category, request_type and source. Length limits are enforced by CHECK constraints.
- Access: RLS allows anonymous
INSERT only. There is no SELECT policy, and updates and deletes are denied. Read submissions in the Supabase dashboard.
- Rate limit: a
BEFORE INSERT trigger rejects a sixth insert for the same lower(email) within one hour, with SQLSTATE P0429. The form shows a "try again later" message when that happens.
- Spam: the server action also uses a honeypot field and a minimum fill time.
waitlist is the previous contact table. Its unique email index meant it silently dropped repeat messages. Its data is preserved and untouched, but the site no longer writes to it.
Apply the inquiries migration to the Supabase project before deploying the form that writes to it.
Legal pages
/terms (Website Terms) and /privacy (Privacy Notice) are interim pages, approved by the founders on 25 October 2026, pending legal review. Each page shows that status at the top, and both are linked from the footer and the contact form. The text lives in legal in lib/content.ts, and it replaces the old Terms of Service, which remain in git history.
Do not change their wording without founder approval (ideally after legal review).
Evidence and provenance
Technical statements and proof visuals are based on the Ordinum product repository (branch ordinum-2). That repository is private and is not linked here.
FACT_SOURCE in lib/content.ts: facts checked against product head 44284b0; evidence pinned at the stable checkpoint 768a9b5 (checked 1 November 2026). The research summary in Labs reflects 124dde072, with updates noted.- Test figure:
TEST_SUITE_STATUS, "2229 passed, 32 skipped (local full suite at product commit 768a9b5)". CI: HOSTED_CI_STATUS, "Ordinum's own repository runs its light test jobs on GitHub Actions, and they pass. CI for your pipeline: templates exist, not yet run on a hosted runner."
flagship in lib/content.ts: the PocketBase planted-defect run of 1 November 2026 at 768a9b5. It is always labeled "Planted defect in our client path, not a PocketBase bug." The fixed build is the same harness without the planted cache: the engineer changes the code and Ordinum checks the fixed build.lib/evidence.ts: data copied from real Nav2 and toy artifacts at commit c25ba4f, unchanged at 768a9b5. Its header lists the source files.- Evidence packages:
lib/evidence-packages.ts lists the files each /evidence/<case> page expects. The files are exported into public/evidence/<case>/ by a founder-run, founder-authorized script; never copy them by hand. A file is linked only if it exists at build time, with its size and a SHA-256 computed at build; otherwise the page says "Artifact pending publication". Terminal logs are committed through the .gitignore exception !public/evidence/**/*.log.
- Media: the flagship PocketBase recording (1:35, real terminal output, captions and transcript) is in
public/media/ and plays on /demos#demo-flagship and the home page. CTAs are "Watch the demo", "Talk to us" and "Book a call". There is no Nav2 video; demoPage.media stays disabled.
