Changelog

Refined archive filtering to include technique labels alongside category chips. Adjusted card spacing on mobile breakpoints for denser browsing.

Improved collection page layout with better related-content linking between collections and guides. Added complexity indicators to guide cards.

Adjusted image handling for gallery cards. Hero images now load eagerly above the fold, while card images use native lazy loading. Reduced layout shift on guide pages.

Tightened typography scale across breakpoints. Body text size now uses fluid clamp values instead of fixed rem steps. Improved mono font rendering on Windows.

Added local search with Pagefind. Search overlay supports keyboard navigation and Cmd+K shortcut. Results surface gallery pieces, guides, and notes equally.

Restructured guide articles to follow a consistent heading hierarchy. Added FAQ sections where natural. Improved internal cross-linking between related guides.

Introduced bench note component for inline implementation observations. Used across guides and collection pages to surface small practical lessons.

Reworked collection taxonomy. Separated micro-interactions from general animation pieces. Added dashboards as a standalone collection category.

Improved submission guidelines with clearer image requirements and rejection criteria. Rewrote the editorial standards section for better clarity.

Added reduced motion support across all hover and scroll animations. Transitions now respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query consistently.

Refined card hover states. Gallery cards now use subtle border-color shifts rather than heavy shadow escalation. Feels lighter without losing interactive feedback.

Updated the about page with clearer editorial positioning. Removed vague language and added concrete descriptions of what the publication covers and who it serves.

Adjusted browser-frame card motif. Dot colors now use standard traffic-light palette instead of monochrome. Small detail, but it reads better at card scale.

Introduced notes section for shorter implementation observations. First batch covers CSS boundary decisions, motion readability, and pattern library sizing.

Consolidated navigation labels. Renamed "Pieces" to "Gallery" and "Tutorials" to "Guides" for better alignment with how readers actually describe the content.

Improved clocks collection with additional technical commentary. Each piece now includes a performance note and accessibility consideration summary.

Redesigned the home page hero. Replaced static image with browser-frame motif and integrated search directly into the above-the-fold experience.

Added SVG workflow guide. Covers round-tripping between design tools and hand-tuned SVG, path optimization, and accessibility labeling patterns.

Launched collections as a standalone section. Initial sets: clocks, loaders, and navigation patterns. Each collection includes editorial rationale and cross-links.

Improved footer navigation grouping. Separated explore links from site utility links. Added changelog to footer for discoverability.

Updated privacy policy and terms of use. Clarified data handling, removed outdated references, and simplified legal language throughout.

Added dark mode as the default canvas. Shifted from light-background layout to dark graphite with warm off-white editorial panels for contrast.

Introduced guide section with first batch of long-form articles covering CSS recreation techniques, animation performance, and accessibility for decorative motion.

Refined gallery card layout. Cards now show technique labels, tag clusters, and improved excerpt formatting. Hover states feel less aggressive on touch devices.
