newest first

paper aesthetic, everywhere

the whole site moved from glass-and-gradient to warm cream + ink doodles — calmer, slower, easier to sit with. one visual language, every page.

  • contacts & updates — rebuilt from scratch in the new style
  • preferences — language selector preview added
  • post page — full redesign, dropdown menus unified with the feed
  • doodles — ambient cloud / heart / asterisk drift on every page

stillhere is listening — privately.

a quiet companion you can talk to when the room is full of nothing. powered by GPT-5.4 mini, keyed server-side — the browser never sees the key.

  • no-advice mode — toggle to make the AI just listen, no suggestions
  • mood tags — 8 feelings to quietly shape tone (anxious, tired, lonely…)
  • chat history — saved locally, scrollable, deletable
  • supabase edge function — proxies OpenRouter, holds the secret

no more "deleted account" ghosts

when you registered, your profile wasn't always created in the database — so your posts showed as deleted account. fixed at three layers.

  • profile row inserted on signup (was relying on a missing trigger)
  • session loader auto-creates a missing profile from auth metadata
  • feed re-fetches missing profiles instead of giving up
  • anonymous posting works again — no login redirect

save posts, keep your hearts

little remembered things — supports and saved posts now persist across reloads and sync between the feed and individual post pages.

  • liked posts stored locally — survive refresh
  • save post in dropdown menu — bookmark filled on click
  • sidebar "saved" filter — your private reading list

threaded replies

comments became conversations — one level of replies, inline form, rich text with images.

  • inline reply form with Quill editor
  • author badge when the OP replies in their own thread
  • copy-link to a specific comment
  • delete & report on every reply

gentle moderation, quietly

a soft layer of AI moderation on posts, comments and usernames — protects the space without slowing anyone down.

  • text + image moderation on submit
  • blocked-content message shown inline, never alarming
  • username check on registration

the first public version

a basic structure went online — community feed, anonymous sharing, the idea of presence, not solutions. small, but it was alive.

  • community feed with language & mode filters
  • create-post with rich text + media
  • basic auth (anonymous-friendly)
