Parlin Website: Marketing Site and Store for the Mac App
The public home for Parlin, our Mac transcription app. Visitors see what it does, watch it in action, buy a license, download the app, and get automatic updates. One site that markets, sells, and delivers.

Project Overview
getparlin.com is where Parlin, our native Mac transcription and dictation app, meets its customers. It is the marketing site, the store, and the update service in one.
The front of the site sells: a clear feature tour, real product screenshots, an FAQ, and pricing built around a single one-time purchase. A visitor who lands here should understand what Parlin does in a few seconds and know exactly what they get for their money.
The back of the site delivers. Checkout runs through Lemon Squeezy and emails a license key the moment a purchase completes. Downloads come straight from the site alongside the Mac App Store, and the app keeps itself current through a Sparkle update feed. All of it reads from one release manifest, so the download link, the update feed, and the signed app can never fall out of sync.
That manifest is checked at build time: bad links, invalid update signatures, duplicate versions, or mismatched release notes fail the build before anything reaches a customer. Analytics stay privacy-first, only aggregate page views, buy clicks, and downloads, never names, order IDs, or license keys.
