tourmaline v0.1.0 — AT Protocol scrobble analyser with share-to-Bluesky

First release of tourmaline — personality archetypes, genre profiles, mood mapping, and share-to-Bluesky for Teal.fm scrobbles.

Bismuth Web 0.2.0

Added publication fetching, expanded conversion options, and rebuilt parts of the converter UI.

devlog: fix OG metatags

OG image URLs were relative — crawlers need absolute URLs. Index page was also missing an OG image entirely.

Bismuth: fetch subcommand flag fixes

Added --frontmatter and --output flags to the fetch subcommand, and bumped to 0.2.4.

Performance audit and fixes across all three sites

Docsite client bundle dropped from 1.3MB to 12KB, devlog layout data optimised, website duplicate fetches eliminated

devlog: Dynamic OG image generation with @ewanc26/og

Each devlog post now generates its own OG image on demand using @ewanc26/og — warm amber on dark, with noise texture.

Website: Wheel of the Year seasonal themes with auto-midnight updates

Colour themes now follow the Wheel of the Year — eight distinct themes for each sabbat, shifting automatically as midnight crosses into a new period.

Website: Seasonal Theme Reset

The colour theme picker now shows when a seasonal theme is active and lets you lock it in explicitly.

Website: Support modal spun out to its own page

Moved the support modal from a footer overlay to a standalone /support route, matching the site's page pattern.

Timeline Scroll Reveal Fix

Every devlog entry was invisible on load — $state on an IntersectionObserver variable caused the effect to disconnect it before it could fire.
