Writeups
Design notes. Each one walks a decision from the first frame to the last.
The first note is Five decisions. None need a designer. — why a product can feel expensive without a new component, a new font, or a designer in the room. Read them all on Writeups.
Components
Component detail pages now use a tall stage, the same scale as the issue list, so a navbar, a button, or a map reads at real size instead of a thin strip. Gallery cards crop tighter around that subject.
Land dots use the foreground at 70% — ink on cream in light, paper on ink in dark — instead of a fixed gray faded to 40%. Markers stay tawny.
Components
A route sheet in the same language as the issue list. One accent, a hairline border, and a 4px grid. The timeline follows a bike trip to Wall Street, and the same sheet carries two more ways to get there.

Wall Street
Bike keeps the dock pickup on W 84 St and the dropoff at Barrow St. Drive follows the West Side Highway and parks at the Battery Parking Garage. Transit boards the 1 train at 86 St and gets off at Wall St.
The squiggle stays on the bike leg. A walk or a drive is a straight line, and the train is dashed.
Open it on the route sheet.
Ocean
Ocean is a scroll-driven WebGL landing page. A particle whale, sea turtle, jellyfish, and manta ray — each sampled from a glTF model — morph into one another as you scroll.
Ocean storytelling studio
Into the deep
We turn marine science into films, exhibits, and interactive worlds that make people care about the 95% of the ocean nobody has seen.
Ocean is a single-page studio landing built around a Three.js particle field. Each creature is a glTF model sampled into the same number of points, and a custom shader morphs between them as you scroll, with ocean currents, bioluminescent shimmer, and a cursor ripple layered on top.
Scroll the live demo to dive through all four creatures, or scaffold a copy and swap in your own studio copy.

Board is no longer a static issue list. The sidebar, filter, display, and commands each change what you see.
Inbox, My issues, Issues, and Backlog filter the rows. Filter narrows by status. Display switches between the aligned list and a Todo / In progress / Done board. Selecting a row opens its detail. Status there is the same menu as the rest of the dashboard — a bordered control, a status icon, and Todo, In progress, and Done — not the browser's own dropdown.
New issue, and the Create issue command, add a row from a title. Assign to me, search, and the sidebar toggle do what they say. The bell opens two notices.
