+# ReVoltVPN — website
+
+The landing page for [ReVoltVPN](https://github.com/esefxdz/ReVoltVPN), a free,
+no-logs VPN for Android. Live at **[userevolt.app](https://userevolt.app)**.
+
+It is open for the same reason the app is: if the page asks you to believe
+something, you should be able to read the page.
+
+This repository is the home of the website. The Android client lives on
+[GitHub](https://github.com/esefxdz/ReVoltVPN).
+
+## What it is
+
+Vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No framework, no build step, no npm, no
+dependencies at all. Clone it and open `index.html` in a browser — that is the
+entire development setup.
+
+- **One page, nine tabs**, routed by URL hash in `assets/js/tabs.js`
+- **Canvas background effects** — rain and lightning, matching the app
+- **Mobile first**, breakpoints at 576 / 768 / 992 / 1200px
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+index.html              every piece of copy on the site
+_headers                Cloudflare Pages: JSON content type for the Matrix files
+.well-known/matrix/     Matrix delegation for chat.userevolt.app
+assets/
+  css/
+    base.css            reset, custom properties, typography
+    layout.css          shell and tab content area
+    nav.css             nav bar, hamburger below 576px
+    background.css      background image and canvas layers
+    components.css      button variants
+    tabs/*.css          one file per tab
+  js/
+    tabs.js             hash routing, headline rotation, hamburger
+    rain.js             rain particles
+    lightning.js        lightning flashes
+  images/
+```
+
+Adding a tab means a section in `index.html`, a stylesheet in `assets/css/tabs/`,
+and an entry in both the `TABS` array and the `titles` object in `tabs.js`.
+
+## The copy is the point
+
+Everything factual here has to be true of the shipping app. That is not a style
+preference — it is why the repository is public.
+
+The copy was rewritten in October 2026 because it had drifted far enough to be
+false in places. It said the device identifier expired with your session (it is
+stored on the device and reused), that session state lived only in memory, that
+every line of the project was already public, and it described a server log
+buffer that had been deleted months earlier. None of that was written in bad
+faith. All of it was true once.
+
+So: if you are changing the copy, check the claim against
+[the app](https://github.com/esefxdz/ReVoltVPN) rather than against the
+surrounding paragraph.
+
+The privacy policy on the site must stay identical to
+[`PRIVACY_POLICY.md`](https://github.com/esefxdz/ReVoltVPN/blob/main/PRIVACY_POLICY.md)
+in the app repository. That is the copy the app's own sidebar opens, so the two
+disagreeing is a real problem, not a cosmetic one.
+
+## Known issue
+
+The rain and lightning canvases fill the viewport behind text that has no
+background of its own, so the effects read through the words. A dark backdrop on
+`.tab-content` fixes it and kills the look, so that is not the answer.
+Suggestions welcome.
