The web player is intrinsically LAN-resident: it reaches speakers directly
and only delegates cloud-only features (e.g. TTS) to a possibly-remote
AfterTouch service via --service-url. That is exactly what a cloud-hosted
soundtouch-service cannot do, so the standalone player binary stays useful
and is not being deprecated. Rename it to state its purpose, with a
transition window so existing downloads keep working.
- cmd/soundtouch-web -> cmd/soundtouch-player; CLI name is now
soundtouch-player. When the binary is invoked under its old name it prints
a one-line rename notice (filepath.Base(os.Args[0])).
- Build/release both names from the same source: Makefile (build-player +
build-web alias, dev-player* targets), Dockerfile (soundtouch-player image
+ transitional soundtouch-web image), release.yml and ci.yml (player +
web artifacts, checksums, Docker images; release notes announce the
rename). The soundtouch-web binary, image, and install script remain a
transitional alias to be dropped in a future release (which will break
stale fetch scripts and nudge users to the release notes).
- scripts/raspberry-pi/install-player.sh is canonical; install-web.sh keeps
working but warns.
- Sweep docs, code comments, user-facing strings, and assets
(soundtouch-web-ui.png, soundtouch-web-tunein.png, soundtouch-web-roadmap.md)
to soundtouch-player; README documents the rename and why the player
remains separate from the embedded /app.

- /sponsor landing page lists both options with feature cards
- Navbar heart icon and footer sponsor link both point to /sponsor
instead of directly to GitHub Sponsors, so PayPal is equally reachable
- No GitHub account required for PayPal path

Covers what AfterTouch delivers today: migration (existing account and
factory-reset paths), marge+bmx replacement, TuneIn+RadioBrowser, Spotify,
presets, ST-10 stereo pairing, soundtouch-cli automation, soundtouch-web
browser UI, and the three installation options (on-device, local host /
Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, cloud/VPS).
Includes screenshot of the soundtouch-web UI (Spotify playback, presets,
sources, zone management).

- blog/_index.md: add introductory sentence to the News & Updates index
- .claude/commands/blog-update.md: project skill that drafts a monthly
update post from git history and opens a draft PR for review
- .gitignore: .claude/* + !.claude/commands/ so the skill is tracked
while session state (settings.local.json, worktrees/) stays ignored

Replace docs/_config.yml + docs/SUMMARY.md with Hugo + Hextra theme.
Move all content into docs/content/, images into docs/static/images/.
Update docs_consistency_test.go to check Hugo front matter instead of
SUMMARY.md inclusion. Update CI workflow and screenshot script paths.
