Changelog

The biggest update yet: new interactive features, a faster and safer page, and better accessibility.

Added

• AI terminal — chat with a clone of Deo right on the page (press the green button or type help)
• Voice commands — say a link name to open it; falls back to typing if your microphone is blocked
• Secret Confessions — leave an encrypted message in the guestbook
• Crypto tip jar — connect a wallet and send a tip
• Geo quest — verify your location to unlock a hidden reward
• Hidden easter eggs: a retro Windows 95 desktop, DOOM, a boss fight, an infinite mirror, and more
• Search button in the top bar (Ctrl+K on desktop) — now reachable on phones too
• RSS feed so you can follow updates in your reader
• Automated regression tests that run on every change, keeping the page stable
• Offline support — the page keeps working and your clicks sync when you're back online
• Add-to-home-screen prompt for phones and computers
• Toast notifications and subtle sound and haptic feedback on buttons
• Fresh 404 and error pages

Changed

• Much faster first visit: about 3.3 seconds before, under 1 second now
• Heavy extras (games, wallet, QR code) now load only when you actually use them
• The page is permanently dark — light mode is gone
• Softer frosted-glass cards with gentler corners everywhere
• Tools moved to the top bar for easier access
• Click counts and stats update instantly after you click a link
• QR code now opens in a neat popup instead of flipping the card
• Smaller stylesheet — a few unused effects were removed

Removed

• Light mode
• The 3D tilt effect on cards
• Several heavy background effects

Fixed

• The page no longer breaks after updates (CSS sometimes failed to load before)
• Some cards lost their glassy depth — now they all match
• Guestbook entries that looked saved but never were — including when the server rejects them
• Guestbook no longer stores visitor IP addresses
• RSS dates now show when each version actually came out (they all said "today" before)
• Install instructions on iPhone show as a toast instead of a browser pop-up
• The project license (MIT) is back — it was accidentally dropped during a past cleanup
• The boss fight game no longer traps you — press Escape or hit the exit button
• Search can be closed on phones with an X button (phone keyboards have no Escape key)
• The search button no longer appears on the changelog page

Accessibility

• Closing a window returns focus where it belongs; Tab stays inside popups
• Every button is big enough to tap comfortably
• Screen readers get proper labels and live terminal output
• Animations respect the system "reduce motion" setting

Security

• Guestbook and click counter hardened against fake requests and floods
• The AI chat has its own tighter limit (10 a minute), a global budget, and a daily spend cap, so floods can't drain the AI quota
• The AI chat blocks harmful content and has an emergency kill switch
• The AI chat is also guarded at the CDN edge, so floods are stopped before they reach the server
• The AI chat recognizes and refuses prompt-injection attempts
• Rate limits can no longer be bypassed with spoofed IPs
• Stricter security headers on every page
• Links opened from games and easter eggs are fully sandboxed
• All dependencies audited — no known vulnerabilities

Removed
