      <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 privacy-first search engine built by one person in pure Rust. Hybrid retrieval (BM25+ × SPLADE × dense vectors in the Argand Plane), zero AI overviews, every result routes through /yw/ to the source, no user profiles. The first public version is targeted for mid-2026. Sign up for the newsletter if you want to be told when it ships.]]></description>
