site: navigable footer + honourable mentions page - #34
Merged
Conversation
Footer was a stack of up to five faint rows. Collapse to two on every page:
row 1: Home / Compatibility / Compare / Source / License / Fun mode
row 2: the Soduto nod, closing on "No trackers, no third-party requests."
- Fold the three internal nav links into the existing links row (nav teal,
repo links muted, current page a non-link span) rather than a separate row.
- Move "Signed by Apple" + macOS specifics onto the hero reqline on index;
drop the now-redundant footer platform line site-wide (every sub-page
already states signing/requirements in its FAQ or body).
- Trim the privacy line to the promise that lands ("No trackers, no
third-party requests") and drop the self-hosted-fonts mechanism clause;
fold it onto the Soduto line so it stays one logical row.
- Drop the redundant footer Download link (hero CTA / topbar cover it).
Nav structure informed by competitive research (OpenMTP/MacDroid/Commander
One/AnyDroid): wordmark-home is load-bearing (already present); bloated
multi-row footers are the anti-pattern to avoid.

Soduto's footer nod grew into a full page — an ode to the open-source,
public-domain and freely-licensed work Comprador rests on and stands beside:
- The ones we stand on: OpenMTP (the fork origin), libmtp (the engine).
- Kindred libraries: libimobiledevice (the iPhone) and libgphoto2
(cameras) — the LGPL siblings of libmtp.
- For a job we don't do: KDE Connect / Soduto and LocalSend for wireless
transfer, scrcpy for screen mirroring (with its ADB caveat named).
- The one that came before: the departed Android File Transfer, plus a
nod to the Linux MTP-over-FUSE tools.
- The look of the place: Merian and Sluyter (the 1705 logo plate),
Filippo Morghen (the backdrops), the Public Domain Image Archive and
Biodiversity Heritage Library that freed them, and the OFL typefaces.
No proprietary entry: MacDroid (paid, closed) was dropped in favour of the
kindred FOSS libraries, so the whole page is freely-given work.
With Soduto moved out, the footer's second line is now the privacy flex on
its own. New page added to the footer nav and sitemap.
