Why

On Reddit people asked why not just use a Wi-Fi ESP32 with Home Assistant. The site never answered that, so the use case wasn't landing.

Messaging

  • New section on the site — "Can't an ESP32 with Wi-Fi and Home Assistant already do this?" (and a matching "Why not just…" section in the README) with the two real differentiators:
    • it acts on the phone itself (open Maps, Focus, timer, any Shortcut) — Wi-Fi + HA can't touch your phone;
    • it works with no network where the board is: the phone in your pocket is the gateway;
    • nothing to run or install (no HA server, no app, no account).
  • Hero lead and the use-case cards reworded around those two points, and the Home Assistant card now says "from anywhere" (event forwarded via the phone's mobile data).

Mobile

  • Brand no longer wraps to two lines; on phones the top bar shows only Support + GitHub, so it stays one compact row and no longer overlaps the content below it.
  • scroll-padding-top raised; hero illustration capped and centred to remove a large gap.
  • Verified in Chromium down to 360px: no horizontal page scroll (the downloads table scrolls inside its own container), form fields and cards stack cleanly.

Docs/site only — no firmware change.

Answer the recurring "a Wi-Fi ESP32 with Home Assistant already does this"
objection, and fix the mobile layout.

Messaging
- New "Can't an ESP32 with Wi-Fi and Home Assistant already do this?" section
  (site) / "Why not just..." section (README): it acts on the phone itself,
  it works with no network (the phone is the gateway), nothing to run/install.
- Hero lead and use cases reworded around the two real differentiators:
  the automation runs on the phone, and it works away from home.

Mobile
- Brand no longer wraps to two lines; top bar shows only Support + GitHub on
  phones, so it stays one compact row and no longer overlaps content.
- scroll-padding-top raised; hero art capped and centred to remove a big gap.
- Verified: no horizontal page scroll down to 360px (the downloads table
  scrolls inside its own container), form and cards stack cleanly.
