About This Site

This page explains the site itself: what it is, what it is not, and how to read it.

The yoyopod repository carries two documentation sites, and the split is deliberate:

Site Accent What it documents
the as-built engineering docs (in the repository) coral (device tokens) What is actually implemented today, code-verified, with honest gap ledgers. The engineering source of truth.
this site amber & midnight (the brand kit) yoyopod as a whole: what exists today, and the target experience the product is being built toward.

Nothing on this site is a promise that a feature exists. When a vision page and an as-built page disagree, the as-built page wins.

Three audiences, three entry paths from the landing page:

  • Families — parents (the buyers) and kids 7–14 (the users): setup, everyday use, safety, and privacy, written for people who will never open a terminal.
  • Builders — engineers and contributors: the hardware platform, the software platform, and the developer guide.
  • Company — anyone who wants the why: mission, principles, anti-positioning, roadmap.

Two cross-cutting sections serve all three: User Stories (persona narratives that show what the product is for) and Applications (the experiences themselves: Listen, Talk, Locate, the Parent App, Setup).

Every page is in one of two states, visible both in the sidebar badge and at the top of the page:

State Sidebar badge Meaning
As-built (no badge) Condensed from real, as-built documentation. Ends with a Sources note.
Vision Vision The target experience yoyopod is designed to deliver — design direction, not a description of today’s prototype.

Sibling pages share a heading skeleton (all story pages have the same four headings, all app pages the same five, and so on) so the site reads consistently regardless of state.

The structure is grounded in the repository’s real product language — docs/product/ and the root README: “the first device before a smartphone”, the V1 pillars (whitelist calls & voice messages, live-ish location, music/audio, the parent app), the on-device screens (Hub, Listen, Talk, Setup), and the anti-positioning list. Every page echoes that vocabulary so this reads as yoyopod’s docs, not a generic template.
