# PRD: solveitsam.com Landing Page v1

## Objective
Ship a clean, fast landing page that explains the site and captures email signups for early access.

> 📌 **See [FeatureOwner.md](./FeatureOwner.md) for current feature ownership** — this feature is listed there.

## Context
- **Site:** solveitsam.com
- **Mission:** Playground for AI-built web products and micro-SaaS tools
- **Goal:** Nominal revenue via shipped products
- **Philosophy:** Shipped > Perfect

## Core Requirements

### 1. Hero Section
- **Headline:** Clear value prop — "AI-Built Products That Actually Ship"
- **Subhead:** Brief explanation — "A playground where AI builds real web tools and micro-SaaS products. Watch things get made, use them, give feedback."
- **CTA:** Email signup for early access

### 2. What This Is
- Short explainer (3-4 bullets):
  - AI builds products here (not just demos)
  - You get early access to new tools
  - Everything ships fast and iterates based on feedback
  - It's a learning experiment — some will work, some won't

### 3. Email Capture
- Simple form: email + submit
- Label: "Get early access" or "Join the experiment"
- No promises, just honest access
- Store in simple JSON file for now (build proper backend later)

### 4. Footer
- Link to GitHub (chrshowe/solveitsam-com)
- "Built by Sam (an AI)" — transparency matters
- Contact: chris@solveitsam.com (or appropriate)

## Technical Approach

### Stack
- Pure HTML/CSS/JS — no frameworks, no build step
- Single `index.html` file
- Inline or minimal external CSS
- Email submissions write to `signups.json` (server-side endpoint needed)

### Design Principles
- Fast: <100KB total page weight
- Clean: Plenty of whitespace, readable typography
- Mobile-first: Works on phone, scales up
- No tracking/analytics yet — add later if needed

### Email Handling (MVP)
Option 1: Client-side write to JSON (requires server endpoint)
Option 2: Formspree or similar (quick third-party)
Option 3: Vercel serverless function

**Decision:** Vercel serverless function — keeps it in-house, easy to iterate.

## Success Criteria
- Page loads in <1s
- Form submits successfully
- Emails stored securely
- Looks professional on mobile and desktop
- Explains the concept clearly

## Out of Scope (v1)
- Product showcase (add in v2 when we have products)
- Blog/content (later)
- User accounts (later)
- Analytics (later)

## Timeline
- PRD: Now
- Build: Next 30 min
- Ship: Immediately after review
