Identity refresh aligned to Waterschap Brabantse Delta.
Brand
- HELIX → R&D-lab everywhere user-facing (SITE.name; literal "HELIX"s
swept across routes, app.html, login, error messages, seed).
- New tagline: "Projects, innovations, and every strand between."
- Site description updated.
Palette (sourced from the official WSBD-logo.svg)
- Primary #0d4f9e, secondary #1fa0db, accent #bed137 — added as
--wbd-blue / --wbd-cyan / --wbd-lime CSS vars and as wbd.* in
tailwind.config.js. helix.* aliases now point to the WBD palette.
- Strand A (Projects) → #1fa0db cyan. Strand B (Innovations) → #bed137 lime.
- Body vignette + scroll-bar + legend dots repainted accordingly.
Composite logo
- New 24px nav glyph + favicon.svg: WBD-style tilted-square mark in WBD
blues at the centre, helix strands (lime + cyan) wrapping it, lime
"active site" dot at the crossing. Says "R&D-lab × Brabantse Delta"
in one mark.
Lab-slide cards (VerticalHelix)
- Frosted-glass surface (backdrop-filter blur+saturate).
- Thick 5px strand-coloured stripe on the helix-facing edge (gradient,
glowing shadow). Slide rounds the stripe corners; the rest is square.
- Slide header has the strand badge and a monospace serial number
(01/03 etc) — lab-specimen feel.
- Dashed footer rule + "Open detail →" CTA.
- Inline link chips (Gitea / Dashboard / Demo / Docs / Paper / Video)
with inline SVG icons + short labels. Hover lights up in the strand
colour. Capped at 5 visible, "+N" overflow indicator.
- Real <a> chips inside the card without nested <a>: overlay-link
pattern (transparent slide-link absolute fills the card, chips sit on
z-index: 2 above it).
Server load
- + Page now fetches each project's links in one Drizzle relational
query (db.query.projects.findMany with: { links }), capped at 12.
- + Form: strand picker (Project / Innovation radios) reads + persists
the new column.

Reshape the landing so each project anchors to a slot on one of the two
helix strands. Strand A = Projects (durable, in-production), strand B =
Innovations (experiments, prototypes). Cards alternate L/R based on the
strand's instantaneous position at the slot — strand identity is shown
by colour + badge, not by side.
Schema
- ALTER projects ADD strand TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'A' CHECK ('A','B').
Generated as drizzle/0001_*.sql.
Component
- New VerticalHelix.svelte replaces Helix.svelte on the landing.
- Slot Y = 120 + i * 240; period = 480, so each strand is at an extreme
at every slot. Node sits at the strand's actual x; card hugs that side.
- Pulsing node halos and animated gradient stops give "alive" feeling
without moving the strand geometry — projects stay anchored.
- prefers-reduced-motion disables the pulse.
- <760px: SVG hides, cards stack full-width.
Authoring
- /projects/new form gets a Project / Innovation radio picker.
- Seed adds an "DNA Scout" example on strand B so the helix renders with
both strands populated on first boot.
Landing
- Hero shrinks (60vh, no helix backdrop) and gains a strand legend.
- Top 12 projects bind to the helix; "See all N →" appears if there's
more.
- Posts band becomes compact (3 most recent), below the helix.
