Introducing the new NAILS site

The site has been rebuilt around a simpler idea. If someone lands here to evaluate NAILS, they should be able to understand what it does, how to get it, and where the limits are within a few minutes.

That meant changing both the stack and the tone.

What changed

• The public site now runs on Astro
• Docs now live in Starlight under /docs
• Downloads are generated from build time release metadata with a checked in fallback snapshot
• Light mode and dark mode are part of the default experience
• Mobile layouts now use cards and stacked sections instead of dense tables

What did not change

The core technical story is still the same.

• NAILS is a NixOS tool for switching between a visible decoy system and a separate hidden environment
• NAILS-OS remains the reference system to run NAILS on
• The threat model and limitations still matter and are still easy to find

Why the rewrite mattered

The previous site leaned too hard on academic framing. The new version keeps the research context, but moves it into an evaluation page and the docs where it can support the product instead of overwhelming it.
