How this site got the way it is, newest first. The entry says what changed; beside a few, a note says why, in the maker’s hand. “Considered options” opens what else was on the table.

   The date-due slip travels

   A shared link shows the library date-due slip in Courier Prime on card stock, with ssdg.me on the bottom line.

2. 2026-10-15

   A focus ring, a shorter line

   Keyboard focus draws a 2px pen ring, the night blue on the dark theme. Prose stops at 65 characters; the table keeps its density.

3. 2026-10-07

   Stories stack on a phone

   Each story is a title line and an author line under 480px; prose at 14px; SSDG is the heading; a share card for the link.

   Tiles open before they leave

   Each tile in the Elsewhere row shows its logo first. A click turns it over to a sentence on what the thing is and the way there; one more click goes to the site.

   The next-meeting card fits a phone

   The rotation row may wrap; only the four-name chain stays whole. Hanging indents keep wrapped lines under their titles. Measured at 320, 375, 768, and 1200.

   September’s stories on the card

   Two title lines, the second hanging so it aligns under the first in the mono face. The block stops saying TBD.

7. 2026-08-19

   The archive becomes a wall of titles

   Dense titles as the main material; notes and tags collapse behind a click per row, with a “+ all notes” toggle. The ledger on the card gets its newest row.

8. 2026-08-03

   The library form is the logo

   A date-due card, after a real one JC supplied. The full ASCII card sits in the header; the favicon is the card in five strokes.

   Every story gets a reader-facing description

   All sessions rewritten for a reader, not for the group. All Play joins the rotation as its own station.

10. 2026-08-02

    The index table is generated from the archive

    The sync script rewrites the story table from the vault record. Author cells no longer truncate at a comma; collections are italicized.

11. 2026-08-01

    The card points at the next picker

    August is an all-play; the arrow moves to JC for September.

12. 2026-07-02

    Personal news leaves the public notes

    Third-party news and a grief line come out of the public record.

13. 2026-06-04

    Elsewhere joins the footer

    Links to the other four properties, under the bewilderment prayer.
