Live social-proof counter on the landing page, tied to the E2E
narrative. Formatted as understated mono footer, not hero brag.
Backend — new GET /api/public/stats (unauthed, 60s in-memory cache):
{
messagesRouted: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mesh.message_queue,
meshesCreated: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mesh.mesh WHERE archivedAt IS NULL,
peersActive: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mesh.presence WHERE disconnectedAt IS NULL,
lastUpdated: ISO timestamp,
}
Aggregate counts only — no ids, no names, no ciphertext, no routing
metadata. Safe for public consumption. cache-control header sets
public/s-maxage=60 for edge caching. `x-cache: HIT|MISS` for debug.
Frontend — new MeshStats Server Component at
modules/marketing/home/mesh-stats.tsx. Reads the endpoint server-side
via the ~/lib/api/server client, renders monospace footer:
ciphertext routed → 4,217 messages · 12 meshes · 8 peers online
broker sees none of it
Graceful zero state: when messagesRouted === 0 shows
"ciphertext → ready to route" instead of embarrassing zeros. Tabular-
nums for the numeric spans so they don't jitter across renders.
Mounted between <CallToAction /> and <LatestNewsToaster />. Page-level
`export const revalidate = 60` so Next.js ISR refreshes the counter
every minute without a DB hit on every request (combined with the
API cache = two-layer 60s TTL, DB sees ~1 query/minute).
