Michel de Graaf 8482c47149 fix(website): give Homebrew users an uninstall command, share the link markup
The macOS install route recommends Homebrew, but the uninstall section only
ever offered `cargo uninstall`, so anyone who followed the recommended route
had no documented way to remove the binary. Adds `brew uninstall`.

install.tsx also had ReleasesLink defined to wrap an external anchor, then
inlined that same anchor four more times anyway - including one that rebuilt
the releases link by hand, byte for byte, 290 lines below the component that
already rendered it. ExtLink takes the href and covers all six sites here and
in community.tsx. Rendered markup is unchanged.

website

The soulseek-rs project site. Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4, deployed to GitHub Pages by .github/workflows/pages.yml.

bun install
bun run dev        # http://localhost:5173/soulseek-rs/
bun run build      # client build, SSR build, then prerender
bun run typecheck
bun run lint

How the static site is produced

bun run build runs three steps:

  1. vite build — the client bundle, plus dist/index.html as the template.
  2. vite build --ssr src/entry-server.tsx — the same app compiled for Node.
  3. bun scripts/prerender.ts — renders every route in src/lib/routes.ts to its own file (dist/install/index.html, and so on) with that route's title and description substituted in, plus a 404.html.

Without step 3 GitHub Pages has no file at /install and answers a direct link with a 404. With it, every URL returns 200 with fully rendered markup, and the client hydrates that markup rather than replacing it.

Adding a page means: a component in src/pages/, a <Route> in src/App.tsx, and an entry in src/lib/routes.ts. The last one is what the prerenderer walks.

Design system

Tokens live in src/index.css, ported from the Claude Design project's tokens/colors.css. They are the same values that back the TUI in soulseek-rs/src/ui/styles.rs — change one, change both.

Dark is the native theme; light re-cuts the semantic hues roughly 10% darker, because phosphor and tape are legible on vinyl but wash out on manila. Theme selection is [data-theme] on <html>, defaulting to the OS setting, with an inline script in index.html applying it before first paint so the page never flashes the wrong background.

Notes

  • base in vite.config.ts is /soulseek-rs/ because this is a project site. Pointing a custom domain at it means setting that to / (the router reads import.meta.env.BASE_URL, so it follows automatically).
  • Copy in src/pages/ follows the project's tone of voice: plainspoken, precise, honest about limits first. No copyrighted artist or album names anywhere, including the TUI demo data in src/components/tui/data.ts.
