Summary

Replaces the "Backed by Y Combinator" homepage banner with a new "Hyprnote is now Char." banner that links to a new blog post explaining the rebrand story.

Banner (apps/web/src/routes/_view/index.tsx):

  • Swaps the external <a> to YC with an internal <Link> to /blog/hyprnote-is-now-char
  • Text changed from "Backed by Y Combinator" (with YC logo) → "Hyprnote is now Char."

Blog post (apps/web/content/articles/hyprnote-is-now-char.mdx):

  • New featured article covering the origin of the Hyprnote name, the C&D letter, the search for a new name, and why char was chosen

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Confirm you're okay removing the YC social proof banner from the homepage — this completely replaces "Backed by Y Combinator" with the rebrand announcement
  • Review blog post content for accuracy and tone — narrative was based on Slack context; verify details (dates, company names, people mentioned) are correct and ready for public
  • Verify the blog post renders correctly — no coverImage is set, which differs from other featured articles; check how it appears on the blog index and the individual post page
  • Test the banner link — click the banner on the homepage and confirm it navigates to /blog/hyprnote-is-now-char correctly

Notes

  • The component is still named YCombinatorBanner internally — cosmetic only, no functional impact
  • The Link component was already imported in the file
  • Requested by @ComputelessComputer
  • Devin session
