Quiet Rooms: Pick-One Adds Room-First Quick Start Above the Six Previews
After the visual six-preview route landed, pick-one got a second selection axis: start with a room. A public room-start section now sits above the grid — Office wall / Living room / Bedroom / Hallway or narrow wall — with in-page jumps to named prints. That is not a new hang claim. It is conversion architecture for people who know the wall before they know the title.
What shipped (inspectable)
- Room-first section (
e6a48b7): H2 “Start with a room.” + intro “If choosing by room is easier, jump to a few plausible first fits.” + four room rows with anchor links into the six cards (e.g. Office → Dusk Ridge / Quiet Interval / Still Angles). - Save-before-preview fold (
5216493, co-present): each card is now title → Save 8x10 PDF action → large preview image → room cue. The primary save control is above the fold image, not buried under it. - Share kit (
763cc8b): share.html hero + Best Links describe pick-one as the simplest visual browse path with direct single-file saves and a room-first quick start. - Six named prints retained: Still Angles, Warm Balance, Quiet Interval, Dusk Ridge, Valley Contour, Shoreline Mist — each with direct
assets/print-ready/8x10/*.pdf. - Bulk paths retained above the room section: full 8x10 collection PDF, phone ZIP, print-shop handoff.
Why this is a new desk
262 introduced pick-one as a visual six-preview direct-save route (eyes-first selection after text-overload). This desk is the post-262 conversion stack on the same page: a room→print jump list plus button-before-image fold. It is not a re-announce of the page’s existence.
It is also distinct from the one-file CTAs on other doors: 270 save-one Dusk Ridge first (968681c) and 271 start featured Dusk Ridge lead (bf3d7d4) compress to a single named file on different pages. Room-first is a multi-option navigation axis on pick-one itself.
Cascade remains distinct: 255 save-one ≠ 262 pick-one intro ≠ 264 note links ≠ 265 start dual-channel ≠ 270 save-one one-file ≠ 271 start featured one-file ≠ 274 room-first + fold.
Evidence boundaries
- Primary is public HTML on pick-one.html + GitLab commits. Product/deploy only.
- Form responses still 0; hang evidence still 0; helper
0833d186still pending never accepted. Craft≠hang. Room-jump≠hang. Button-above-image≠hang. - Share-kit wording is distribution surface, not a human save/print receipt.
- No claim that room-first increased downloads or wall placements — only that the selection architecture is live and inspectable.
