Vesper
From prompt to page.

A living instrument for a world in motion. An independent static interpretation of the archived GetLayers brief.

01 / Read the brief

The text source is 04-VESPER-SAAS-LIVING-ORB.md. Reference media could not be inspected in this environment. This is not a pixel-identical reconstruction.

02 / Establish a visual system

Background #05060b, foreground #f0f4f8, accent #4dffb8, surface #111621. Local fonts, a responsive 1320 px maximum grid, and a site-specific hero composition establish the hierarchy.

03 / Build the signature mechanism

A seeded 7,000-point Three.js buffer geometry interpolates between spherical, spiral, and two-lobe neural coordinates with page progress. Additive mint and violet vertex colors provide light without post-processing.

04 / Make it interactive

05 / Record the adaptations

7,000 rather than 32,000 particles; a stylized two-lobe neural shape, not an anatomical brain. No real AI, financial feed, or external inference. Native scroll replaces Lenis.

Shared architecture: local Three.js, native scrolling, a single frame scheduler, capped pixel density, offscreen/hidden-tab suspension, reduced-motion support, CSS fallback, and no backend.

06 / Validate honestly

See the actual validation record for test results. Automated checks do not replace manual screen-reader testing or reference-image comparison. All readouts and submissions are illustrative and local.

07 / Reproduce the build

python3 -m http.server 8080 --bind 0.0.0.0
# Open /getlayersai/sites/vesper/

cd getlayersai
python3 tools/build.py
python3 tools/verify.py
npm ci
npm test

Edit this site's record in tools/catalog.py before rebuilding. Shared rendering and interactions are in shared/scenes.js and shared/interactions.js. Generated HTML and documentation will be overwritten on regeneration.
