Spec body
# Public Yawp entrypoint Refine the logged-out `yawp.school` entrypoint so school filters and Google see public educational context, while students and teachers still feel like they have arrived at the product login rather than a sales page. ## Problem PR #110 shipped a public YAWP landing page to address the Google/school-filter concern that `yawp.school` looked like only a login/signup surface and could be misclassified. Brian's follow-up on 2026-05-09 clarified the product concern: sending students and teachers first to a sales-style landing page feels wrong. The desired direction is: - `yawp.school` should remain clean and welcoming for students/teachers, with Log In / Create Account prominent. - Public educational copy should appear early enough for Google/school filters to understand the site. - A separate Learn more path can carry the fuller sales/marketing page, likely drawing from `yawpwritingprogram.com`. ## Current status PR #110 merged on 2026-05-09 and the public page is live. Brian approved the idea of moving the heavier public information to a less disruptive path after the root experience is adjusted. ## Goals - Root URL gives a student/teacher the shortest path to login or account creation. - Root URL still contains enough public educational language for classification and school IT review. - "Learn more" links to the fuller public page. - The public information URL remains accessible for Google and school IT teams. ## Non-goals - Rebuilding the full marketing site. - Changing authentication. - Replacing `yawpwritingprogram.com` until there is a deliberate domain/canonical strategy. ## Open questions - [ ] Should the fuller public page live at `/info`, `/about`, or another URL? - [ ] Should `yawpwritingprogram.com` redirect to `yawp.school` or remain separate for now? - [ ] What exact root copy does Brian want above the fold? ## Test plan - Unauthenticated visitor to `https://yawp.school/` sees Log In / Create Account without hunting. - Page source includes public educational description text near the top of the document. - Learn more path opens the fuller public page. - Authenticated users still land in the app as expected.
