Hero, gallery, tools, quiz, 404, and footer rewrites driven by the 2026-05-05
UX review.
Copy:
- Hero headline now describes the actual product ("Crystal morphology, rendered
precisely"); subhead trimmed to two sentences with concrete numbers.
- Feature-grid heading rewritten for the FGA + developer audience.
- Quiz page H1 + subhead promoted from "Quiz" to "Practice and Exam Mode" with
question count.
- Gallery subhead drives off live family + expression counts (was "90+").
- Tools subhead enumerates the actual calculators on the bench.
- 404 body copy rewritten ("This page doesn't crystallise…"); CDL Playground
swapped for Quiz in the popular-pages grid; "Go Home" → "Return to homepage".
- Synthetics section subhead strips the "(Octahedron)" expression suffix.
- "Start practicing now" → "Start practising now" (BrE consistency).
Accessibility:
- Wrap every trailing → in user-facing link text in <span aria-hidden="true">
so screen readers don't announce "right arrow" after the link label.
- Footer FGA link gets underline + offset (fixes Lighthouse
link-in-text-block).
- Gallery search input now has a visually-hidden label, id, and name
attribute.
- CVD/HPHT capitalisation: extracted shared formatLabel() so growth_method
fields render "CVD" / "HPHT", not "Cvd" / "Hpht", everywhere
(FamilyModal, CounterpartsSection).
- Move CrystalStructureCard to top of left column so the rendered crystal appears above QuickFacts on every viewport, not below the property table at narrower lg widths. - Replace inline ACRONYMS/formatLabel with the shared src/lib/format-label.ts helper used by FamilyModal and CounterpartsSection.

* fix(ux): mineral detail — crystal SVG above the fold; dedupe formatLabel
