# Retort — Frontier Science Studio Landing Page

> An airy landing page for a brand studio serving frontier science companies. A glass DNA double helix with fluorescent liquid flowing through it is raymarched live in WebGL with real refraction and choreographed by scroll: an arch under the hero, a column beside a word-by-word statement, a beam behind frosted client slides, a pinned four-stage method, then a plasmid ring around the CTA.

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/retort-landing/retort-landing.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/retort-landing
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/retort-landing.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)
