Laurence 71217ce3e1 feat(site): original device art + amazing polish pass
Adds original OpenScribe illustrations and elevates the whole site from a plain
scaffold to a polished, animated product site.

What changed:
- assets/img/: original SVG artwork (CC-BY-SA, no third-party photos):
  - openscribe-wearable.svg - the wearable recorder with a breathing status LED (SMIL
    animation that plays even when embedded via <img>).
  - openscribe-kit.svg - the dev/kit build: ESP32-S3 board + I2S mic + microSD + LiPo,
    with amber trace connectors.
  - favicon.svg - the "12" studio mark; wired as the site icon and header logo.
- index.html: two-column hero with the floating device, a trust strip, a featured
  showcase (device image + sync diagram), project cards with device thumbnails, and a
  new "why open beats a locked box" comparison table (our own words, no competitor art).
- projects/openscribe.html: device hero, the AI picker in a proper panel, and a new
  "two ways to build it" section with product figures (wearable + kit) and descriptions.
- assets/styles.css: full theme refresh - atmospheric background, gradient headings,
  hero float, hover lift + shadows, product/figure styles, comparison table, and
  scroll-reveal transitions (honours prefers-reduced-motion).
- assets/app.js: IntersectionObserver scroll reveals alongside the provider picker.
- README: documents the artwork and that it is original/publishable.

Why:
- The user asked for product images with descriptions, then to "make it amazing" - this
  delivers IP-safe original device imagery and a genuinely polished, animated site.

Notes:
- Still zero dependencies and no build step. Validated: app.js passes node --check, all
  SVGs are valid XML, HTML section tags balanced, every local link/asset resolves.

# 12 Hobbies Studio - website
A small, dependency-free static site for **12 Hobbies Studio**, a maker studio that builds
open-source, self-hostable projects. The flagship project featured here is
[OpenScribe](https://git.discworld.casa/laurence/openscribe), an open AI voice recorder you
can connect to any AI.
> Note on branding: this is an initial site with sensible defaults (name, tagline, colours,
> copy). All of it is easy to change - edit `assets/styles.css` for the look and the HTML for
> the words. Nothing here is locked in.
## What's here
```
index.html Studio home: hero + device, featured project, projects, comparison
projects/openscribe.html OpenScribe page: hero, "bring your own AI" picker, build variants
assets/styles.css All styling (no framework, no build): theme, animations, reveals
assets/app.js Provider picker + scroll-reveal (IntersectionObserver)
assets/img/ Original SVG artwork (CC-BY-SA): device illustrations + favicon
openscribe-wearable.svg the wearable recorder (animated status LED)
openscribe-kit.svg the dev/kit build (board + mic + microSD + LiPo)
favicon.svg the "12" studio mark
```
All device imagery is original artwork (no third-party product photos), so it is safe to
publish and reuse under CC-BY-SA.
## Preview locally
It is plain HTML/CSS/JS - open `index.html` in a browser, or serve the folder:
```bash
python -m http.server 8080 # then visit http://localhost:8080
```
## Deploy
Any static host works (it is just files). For Forgejo Pages, publish this repo per your
instance's Pages setup; for a plain web server, copy the files to the web root. There is no
build step and no server-side code.
## Licence
Site code (HTML/CSS/JS) is MIT (see `LICENSE`). Prose content is the studio's own.
OpenScribe is an independent project inspired by the Plaud class of device and is not
affiliated with Plaud.
