The brief

live · rev D

The marketing site for Latent Ink, kept separate from the platform on purpose.

Its job is to explain an MCP-first blog to people who have never heard of MCP, which mostly means showing it. The front page has a Claude conversation drafting a post in it, and the platform page puts the name of the tool under each step of the workflow, so the protocol is on the page rather than described.

Next.js with a static export: no server runtime, just files in a folder served by a Worker. Same instinct as everything else here, do the work at build time and ship plain files.

The screenshots are of a local build, which is the same set of files the live site serves.

The platform page, "How Latent Ink works.", then "Draft, review, schedule, publish." over four cards, each headed with the MCP tool that does the step.

The log

3 updates

The wave logo, now shared with the blog itself.

A platform page walking through the workflow, a mobile menu, a favicon and a footer year that keeps itself current.

First version. Next.js exported to static files and served as Workers static assets, with fonts downloaded at build time so a visitor makes no requests to Google.
