# Public changelog launches

This page is the changelog you're reading now. Every meaningful change to the site — a new section, a rebuild, a performance pass, a published essay — gets an entry here, newest first.

The goal is a low-ceremony record. Each entry is a title, a one-line summary, a date, and a few tags; the write-up below is only as long as the change deserves. It's a curated selection drawn from the fuller engineering log kept in the repo, edited down to the parts worth reading.

## Why bother

Most personal sites quietly accrete changes no one sees. A public log makes the work legible — to me, six months from now, and to anyone curious how the thing is put together.

It also keeps me honest about shipping cadence: gaps in the timeline are as informative as the entries themselves.

## What counts as an entry

Launches and features are obvious. Infrastructure and experiments make the cut when they change how the site behaves. Typo fixes do not.

Each entry carries a **significance** — major, minor, or patch — and a **type** — launch, feature, content, infra, or experiment. The significance dot and the type pill are the two signals that let you scan the ledger at a glance without opening anything.
