CHANGELOG

Always building.

Every ship, polish pass, and fix, kept in one place and linked back to the page it shipped on. It hides in the footer — finding it counts.

  1. 2026-09-21Polish

    The changelog reads as a timeline

    The date and category now stick in a left rail and every entry hangs off a hairline with its own dot — same notes, easier to scan.

  2. 2026-09-16Ship

    This changelog, hidden behind the footer version

    The version number in the footer now opens this list. It is reachable on every page, sits outside the sitemap, and stays out of search results on purpose.

  3. 2026-09-16Ship

    Page transitions with a progress bar

    Navigating between pages now covers the gap with a transition layer and loading feedback, and it degrades to an instant jump under reduced motion.

  4. 2026-09-16Content

    Every exhibit got its own preview page

    Gallery exhibits now open real pages that carry the prompts, the build details and the reasoning behind each world, instead of stopping at a thumbnail.

    Tidal Letters: a six-chapter scroll voyage

    An impressionist scroll story built as six soft chapters. The page documents how the sequence was assembled, not just the final frames.

    An editorial footer

    The shared footer became a real directory: brand typography, a quieter closing rail, and navigation that works in both languages.

  7. 2026-09-15Ship

    Writing got categories, ideas and a morphing search

    The writing board gained category filtering and bilingual venture ideas, and the search control now morphs in place instead of jumping between states.

    A section rail and a collapsed archive

    Long articles gained a section navigation rail, and the older archive months collapse behind a reveal control so the recent work stays reachable.

    DYOR reports gained Lieflat charts

    Research reports render the same evidence charts through both the static shell and the D1 worker renderer, so a published figure cannot diverge between them.

  10. 2026-09-14Ship

    The Gallery was rebuilt as interactive worlds

    The exhibit list became a full-screen orb stage with two enterable worlds, theme-aware covers and localized metadata for each one.

    SEO P0: English by default, permanent 301s

    English became the default locale, www now redirects to the apex with a permanent 301, and x-default points at /en in both renderers.
