# GitHub Pages Homepage Epic

## Epic Overview

Create a new homepage feature for GitHub Pages deployment featuring a hero section with live ID generation and static documentation display.

## Context

- **Current State**: Next.js project with Cuid2 library, current homepage shows random distribution visualization
- **Target State**: GitHub Pages-compatible static homepage with hero section and documentation
- **Technology Stack**: Next.js 13.1.1, React 18.2.0, Cuid2 library
- **Deployment Target**: GitHub Pages (static hosting)

## Requirements Analysis

### Functional Requirements

- **Given** a user visits the homepage, **should** see the Cuid2 package name prominently displayed
- **Given** a user visits the homepage, **should** see the tagline from README clearly presented
- **Given** a user visits the homepage, **should** see 5 freshly generated Cuid2 IDs in large font
- **Given** a user clicks the regenerate button, **should** generate 5 new IDs instantly
- **Given** a user scrolls down, **should** see the complete documentation in HTML format
- **Given** the build process runs, **should** convert README markdown to HTML at build time
- **Given** GitHub Pages deployment, **should** serve static HTML without server-side rendering

### Non-Functional Requirements

- **Performance**: Page should load quickly on GitHub Pages
- **Compatibility**: Must work with GitHub Pages static hosting
- **Responsiveness**: Should work on mobile and desktop
- **Accessibility**: Should follow basic accessibility guidelines
- **Simplicity**: Follow KISS principle - clean, simple design

## Success Criteria

- [ ] Hero section displays Cuid2 name, tagline, and 5 generated IDs
- [ ] Regenerate button generates new IDs on click
- [ ] Documentation is converted from README to HTML at build time
- [ ] Next.js configured for static export to GitHub Pages
- [ ] Homepage loads successfully on GitHub Pages
- [ ] Design system includes CTA button, header, typography, and card components
- [ ] Page is responsive and accessible

## Dependencies

- Cuid2 library (`createId` function) must be available client-side
- Next.js static export configuration
- README.md content for documentation

## Estimated Effort

**Medium** - Requires multiple components, configuration changes, and build process modifications

## Agent Orchestration

**Not Required** - Standard React/Next.js development tasks

## Implementation Notes

- Use existing Cuid2 `createId()` function for ID generation
- Configure Next.js `output: 'export'` for static generation
- Extract tagline from README: "Secure, collision-resistant ids optimized for horizontal scaling and performance. Next generation UUIDs."
- Design system should be minimal and clean following KISS principle
- Ensure all functionality works client-side only

## Task Breakdown

### Task 1: Create Design System Components

**Context**: Building reusable UI components for the homepage
**Requirements**:

- Given the need for consistent styling, should create CTA button component
- Given the documentation layout, should create typography and card system
- Given the header needs, should create header component
  **Success Criteria**:
- [ ] CTA button component with hover states
- [ ] Header component with proper typography
- [ ] Documentation typography system
- [ ] Card layout system for content organization
      **Dependencies**: None
      **Estimated Effort**: Small

### Task 2: Build Hero Section

**Context**: Main feature area with live ID generation
**Requirements**:

- Given user visits homepage, should see Cuid2 branding prominently
- Given the hero section, should display 5 freshly generated IDs
- Given the regenerate button, should generate new IDs when clicked
  **Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Hero section with Cuid2 name and tagline
- [ ] Live ID generation display (5 IDs)
- [ ] Functional regenerate button
- [ ] Responsive design
      **Dependencies**: Task 1 (Design System)
      **Estimated Effort**: Medium

### Task 3: Convert Documentation

**Context**: Converting README markdown to static HTML
**Requirements**:

- Given the README content, should convert to HTML at build time
- Given the documentation, should display in clean, readable format
  **Success Criteria**:
- [ ] README converted to HTML
- [ ] Proper documentation styling using design system
- [ ] Build-time generation (not runtime)
      **Dependencies**: Task 1 (Design System)
      **Estimated Effort**: Medium

### Task 4: Configure GitHub Pages

**Context**: Setting up Next.js for static export
**Requirements**:

- Given GitHub Pages hosting, should configure static export
- Given the build process, should ensure all assets are properly exported
  **Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Next.js configured for static export
- [ ] GitHub Pages deployment ready
- [ ] All assets properly bundled
      **Dependencies**: Tasks 2, 3 (Hero Section, Documentation)
      **Estimated Effort**: Small

### Task 5: Test and Validate

**Context**: Final validation and testing
**Requirements**:

- Given the completed homepage, should test all functionality
- Given GitHub Pages deployment, should validate compatibility
  **Success Criteria**:
- [ ] All features working correctly
- [ ] GitHub Pages compatibility verified
- [ ] Performance acceptable
      **Dependencies**: Task 4 (GitHub Pages Configuration)
      **Estimated Effort**: Small

## Risk Assessment

- **Low Risk**: Standard React/Next.js development
- **Mitigation**: Test static export early in development
- **Contingency**: Fallback to manual HTML generation if needed

## Acceptance Criteria

The epic is complete when:

1. Homepage displays hero section with live ID generation
2. Documentation is properly converted and styled
3. Site deploys successfully to GitHub Pages
4. All functionality works client-side only
5. Design follows KISS principle with clean, simple styling
