The log

v1.0 The lab grew up. Real projects up front, Magpie first, and the toys moved to the playground. A poster of a place on a big sun, my drawings on round shapes, and bands of color. My six colors plus honey and sage, set in Instrument Sans.

v0.9.1 The design desk got five piles. The HelioFlux website (with the house style PDF and a 25-file style pack), Heliopolis, Pretzel Protocol, resources and examples. The Magpie feather now guesses the pile before you clip.

v0.9 The design desk opened. A swipe file for UI with galleries, sites, videos, and three notebook pages. The Magpie clipper got a second job feeding it.

midnight The lab built its own random number generator. Out of camera shot noise. The universe splitter now spends homemade photons.

night The pet got a gene lab, and a quantum wing opened. A double slit you can fire one particle at a time, a cat in a box, spooky action, and a universe splitter. Spark notes grew to 28 voices. The cat is fine.

later A pet, a panel, a noise room. And a field guide to keep track of all the rooms. Claude was left unsupervised for one afternoon.

v0.7 The site became a lab. GSAP moved in: draggable stickers, confetti when you ship, a konami code. Claude planted a pixel garden.

v0.6 Spark notes shipped. A living quote wall with favorites that survive a refresh, thanks to localStorage.

v0.5 kellylucas.dev went live. First domain, first deploy, real internet.

type 97 fonts auditioned. Three batches. Heliora survived and was the face of the site until v1.0.

The first experiment left the lab. The YouTube Transcript Generator.
