An OKLCH palette generator runs in a single file, in a single afternoon.

We have no name, no team, and no idea this is going to take seven years. We have, however, opinions about color spaces — and that turns out to be enough.

• Nebula palette engine prototype
• First contrast checker
• The word "substrate" enters the vocabulary

Surface tiers — base, elevated, high, floating — finally make sense to non-designers.

The cosmos metaphor (galaxy / nebula / constellation / orion) lands the same week. Naming things stops being painful.

• Tiered surface model
• Cosmos vocabulary defined
• First Orion-law contrast utility

Visual JS authoring — Trigger, Action, Target — replaces YAML for the interactive layer.

The Behaviours panel is the first time we feel ahead of the market rather than chasing it. Drag-to-wire with an SVG overlay is the differentiator.

• Behaviours pillar
• Drag-to-wire SVG overlay
• State strip and reactive store

Every raw media query is deleted. @container becomes the layout foundation.

We ship months before Safari is fully stable on style queries. It pays off when the responsive overrides system needs nothing extra.

• Container-first responsive engine
• Style-query bridge to surfaces
• Token-snap drag UX

Aurora — a track-based motion editor — ships. Keyframes you can drag, scrub, name.

The HTML-DAW vision crystallizes: paced scroll regions, draw-the-curve envelopes, beats wired to Behaviours.

• Aurora timeline editor
• Scrubbable scroll regions
• Named beats for behaviour triggers

Etch-parity. The .lsd package — the public contract — is framework-agnostic.

A motion-native design substrate, finally usable by humans, by agents, and by codebases that aren't ours.

• v0.6 builder UX overhaul
• Etch-parity backlog cleared
• .lsd package public contract
