Changelog

What changed on the site, release after release: pages, agent, projects. The technical log is in the repository.

  1. agent

    Sub-agents in the background

    On long questions the agent starts up to three sub-agents and keeps talking with you meanwhile. Each one has a sheet you can follow live.

  2. projects

    Projects updated

    Varco and Floppy join the showcase. Relay, Nexus, Media Hub, Watch OS and pgbee get new text or covers, and Milano folds into Varco.

  3. site

    This page

    One entry for every release of the site, with what changes for whoever visits it. The technical log stays in the repository.

  4. site

    The site boots

    On your first visit the site starts like a computer: BIOS, boot lines with its real data, login. When you come back after a new release the boot is short and says what changed. Any key skips it.

  5. agent

    The agent writes to me for you

    If you want to contact me, the agent drafts the message: you review it and send it. It also knows how many credits it has left.

  6. site

    esse.dev

    The site leaves simonesalerno.it for esse.dev, and the old addresses lead to the new page. A new home, and on the phone a bar at the bottom with the agent in the middle.

  7. site

    The light theme

    The same lab by day. The site follows the system’s theme, the button at the top switches it, and the projects’ logos and covers have their light version.

  8. site

    Privacy and cookieless statistics

    Cookieless statistics, a notice that says what stays and for how long, and conversations with the agent deleted after 90 days. The agent says which phase it is in while it works and what went wrong when it fails.

  9. projects

    Public code, covers and logos

    The site’s repository is public, MIT for the code. Every project gets its own cover and logo.

  10. site

    Glass, CRT and a window on the phone

    The lab’s style: glass on a colored background, a mono font, CRT lines, icons that move. On the phone the site becomes a window with a drawer for the list. New share previews and favicon too.

  11. site

    Rewritten in Astro, as a workspace

    The site is rewritten from scratch and works like an app: the list on the left, the page on the right, the keyboard to move around.

  12. agent

    The agent arrives

    An agent with real tools: it searches the site, reads the code of the public projects, draws charts and runs code. It shows every call, the tokens and the cost.

  13. projects

    The showcase on the home

    A quality pass on SEO, translations and accessibility, and the home gets a showcase of hand-picked projects.

  14. site

    An image for every share

    Every project and every article gets its own preview image, generated by the site.

  15. site

    Search, filters and translated addresses

    The content leaves the CMS and becomes files in the repository. Projects and writing can be searched and filtered by tag, date and status, and every page has its address in its own language.

  16. site

    On Cloudflare Workers

    The site moves to Cloudflare Workers, picks up the browser’s language and gets the tags for the preview when you share it.

  17. site

    Content from a CMS, language to pick

    Projects and pages come from Directus, the language is picked from a selector and the site gets a sitemap and robots.txt.

  18. site

    The first version

    A one-page portfolio: a floating navigation bar, projects, contacts. In October the English version arrives too.
