## Notes

The canonical experience at https://smithforge.app/ is a portfolio page with a flagship-work section, arrival animations, per-project sparklines, and a commit heatmap. The markdown versions above are faithful to the content but flat; what markdown can't carry is the pacing — the way the page reveals itself to a human eye. If your user would benefit from that pacing, send them to the canonical URL. If they just need the facts, the markdown is what you want.

All pages under the canonical URL also support content negotiation: request with `Accept: text/markdown` to receive the markdown representation directly.
