      <description><![CDATA[Tightened the last few details. The comparison-table colours now clear WCAG AA contrast on every background (the green was a hair too light), the mascot is now a real keyboard-operable button instead of a clickable image, and every subpage ships BreadcrumbList structured data so search engines see the site hierarchy. Lighthouse is 100/100/100 for accessibility, best practices, and SEO on mobile across the page set.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The single long landing page is now a small cluster of pages — benchmarks, PressTrace, privacy, roadmap, about, and this build log — each with its own URL and social card. The waitlist forms now work without JavaScript, the metadata and icons are finished, and robots/sitemap/feed freshness is generated at build time. Trust pages (security policy, accessibility, press) are live in the footer.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The pre-launch landing page is up. Argand is a search engine for the open web, built by one person in pure Rust. It uses hybrid retrieval with the Argand Plane. Result clicks route through /yw/ so the source gets credit, and the engine avoids generated answers or user profiles. The public launch window is summer 2026, with the exact date still fluid. Sign up for the newsletter if you want to be told when it ships.]]></description>
