# News Dieppe

> Daily scripture and uplifting reflections rendered in handcrafted, animated single-stroke glass neon typography.

News Dieppe (https://news.dieppe.app/) is a minimalist, privacy-first Progressive Web App (PWA) displaying daily scripture verses and contemplative quotes rendered as realistic bent glass neon tubes. Each letter is dynamically constructed from single-stroke centerline vector glyphs in pure SVG and animated with hardware-accelerated CSS glows.

The application functions completely offline via Service Worker, rotates quotes per refresh from an offline catalog, and performs zero third-party tracking or data harvesting. It is designed for serene daily reflection, creative coding study, and ambient desktop or wall displays.

## Key Features
- **Pure Vector Neon Typography**: Centerline glyph geometry (A–Z, 0–9, punctuation) tracing the physical bending radius of real glass neon tubing. No bitmap fonts, canvases, or pre-rendered images are used for lettering.
- **Physical Neon Realism**: Multi-layered SVG filters (`feGaussianBlur`), ceramic electrode boots, metal support standoffs, and looping return wires simulated in code across amber, blue, white, and rose gas spectrums.
- **Offline-First PWA**: Installable on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Precaches all assets via Service Worker (`sw.js`) with weekly verse catalog synchronization (`verses.json`).
- **Interactive Verse Rotation**: Automatically rotates to a fresh quote on each page load, by clicking the verse reference, using the `#shuffle` URL hash, or pressing keyboard shortcuts (`Space` or `N`).
- **Zero Dependencies**: Pure HTML5, SVG, CSS3, and vanilla modern JavaScript with no external frameworks or runtime libraries.

## Target Audience
- Individuals seeking quiet daily scripture, mindfulness, and reflective meditation.
- Designers, creative technologists, and typography enthusiasts interested in SVG vector craft and neon light simulation.
- Users looking for an ultra-fast, lightweight web application that operates reliably on slow connections or completely offline.
