seo: add /claude-design-alternative comparison page + soften keyword density
Ride Claude Design search interest without looking spammy: - New /claude-design-alternative page (EN + ZH) with honest feature matrix, reasons to pick either tool, and a clear 'not a fork' disclaimer. Dedicated URL captures the exact search term; neutral inside copy avoids the 'salty competitor' tone. - Revert over-eager keyword stuffing in site title, titleTemplate, hero text, OG/Twitter titles, and keywords meta. One natural mention per page beats six forced ones. - Add 'vs Claude Design' nav + sidebar entry (both locales).

**Open CoDesign** is the open-source Claude Design alternative. A self-hosted desktop AI design tool that turns prompts into HTML prototypes, React components, slide decks, PDFs, and marketing assets — on your laptop, with any model you already pay for. Apache-2.0 licensed.
15+
Both tools turn prompts into polished designs. They make different trade-offs. This page exists so you can decide quickly which one fits your workflow.

## Why a Claude Design alternative?
19+
## At a glance
2020

21-
Anthropic's Claude Design is a great web app — but it forces three things that don't work for every team:
21+
Claude Design is a hosted web app by Anthropic that runs Claude Opus on their infrastructure. Open CoDesign is an Apache-2.0 desktop app you run on your own machine with whichever model provider you already use.
2222

23-
1. **Subscription lock-in.** Rate-limited at $200/month; no way to control cost on rough drafts.
24-
2. **Single-model ceiling.** Claude Opus only. No GPT, no Gemini, no local model.
25-
3. **Cloud processing.** Every prompt, every design goes to Anthropic's servers. No meaningful export, no version history, no codebase awareness.
23+
Pick **Claude Design** if you want zero setup, are happy on an Anthropic subscription, and don't need model flexibility or offline use.
2624

27-
Open CoDesign is the open-source Claude Design alternative for teams that need BYOK cost control, multi-model flexibility, or on-device privacy.
25+
Pick **Open CoDesign** if you want BYOK cost control, any model beyond Claude, on-device privacy, local version history, or multiple export formats.

## What you get
46+
## Why someone would choose Open CoDesign
4947

50-
- **Bring any API key** — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, SiliconFlow, local Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
51-
- **Import your existing Claude Code or Codex config** in one click — providers, models, keys, all at once.
52-
- **Twelve built-in design skill modules** — slide decks, dashboards, landing pages, SVG charts, glassmorphism, editorial typography, heroes, pricing, footers, chat UIs, data tables, calendars.
53-
- **Fifteen demo prompts** in English and 简体中文 — landing page, dashboard, pitch slide, pricing page, mobile app, chat UI, event calendar, receipt/invoice, portfolio, settings panel, and more.
54-
- **Inline comment → AI patch loop** — click any element in the preview, leave a note, the model rewrites only that region.
55-
- **AI-generated tunable sliders** — the model exposes the parameters worth tuning (color, spacing, font); drag to refine without re-prompting.
56-
- **Phone / tablet / desktop responsive frames** — true responsive preview, switch with one click.
57-
- **Five export formats** — HTML (inlined CSS), PDF (via your local Chrome), PPTX, ZIP, Markdown. All on-device.
58-
- **Four-tab Settings** — Models, Appearance (light/dark, EN/ZH), Storage, Advanced.
59-
- **Local-first, zero telemetry by default.** SQLite for designs, encrypted TOML via Electron `safeStorage` for keys.
48+
- **BYOK means cost control.** Ship drafts on a cheap model (DeepSeek, local Ollama, GPT-4o-mini), polish on Claude Opus only when it matters.
49+
- **Data stays on-device.** Your prompts, designs, and any codebase scans never leave your laptop unless you send them to a model provider yourself.
50+
- **Local version history.** Every iteration is a snapshot you can diff and roll back.
51+
- **Interactive surface.** Click an element, leave a note, watch the model rewrite only that region. Drag AI-generated sliders to tune color, spacing, and typography without re-prompting.
52+
- **Real exports.** PDF via your local Chrome, PPTX via `pptxgenjs`, ZIP asset bundle, Markdown with frontmatter — all lazy-loaded so the cold-start bundle stays lean.
53+
- **Import what you already have.** One click pulls every provider / model / key out of your Claude Code or Codex config.

## Is this a fork of Claude Design?
55+
## Why someone would stay on Claude Design
6256

63-
No. Open CoDesign is an independent, clean-room open-source project inspired by what Claude Design proves is possible. We don't use any Anthropic proprietary code. The name "Claude Design" belongs to Anthropic; we are the open-source alternative, not an affiliate.
57+
- Zero install, nothing to configure.
58+
- Seamless integration with Anthropic's product surface.
59+
- You explicitly want Opus-only and don't care about multi-model.

7375
- **Is it really free?** Yes. You pay only the token cost to whichever model provider you bring.

76-
- **Can I self-host?** It's a desktop app — it already runs entirely on your machine.
77-
- **What license?** Apache-2.0. Fork it, ship it, sell it. Keep the NOTICE.
