Multiverse chrome on Dune

March 15, 2026

Upstream Multiverse opens on a dense #main of article.thumb tiles, with a slide-up #footer.panel that splits intro copy from actions. Navigation lives in a compact #header over the grid. On this Dune port that shell lives across components/layout.tsx (header + inner footer) and templates/default.tsx (gallery + panel), styled by the vendored static/html5up/ CSS — this post exists so the demo explains what you’re seeing instead of shipping a generic clone.

Compare side-by-side with html5up.net/multiverse:

Twelve thumbs from GALLERY_ITEMS keep upstream full/thumb pairs under static/html5up/images/
Footer panel icons and buttons resolve to Blog, Search, Archives, and About
Inner pages use a compact #main.dune-inner article instead of the thumb grid
Panel copyright/credit stays visible whenever show_html5up_credit is on

Honest Dune deviations: upstream’s per-image narrative becomes ordinary blog posts under /blog; search is server-side /api/search, not a static gallery filter; the panel has no mail backend behind it. A Dune lift may land later as an enhancement, not as fidelity.
