All notable changes to this site are tracked below. Entries below include only commits on origin/main (already pushed).

Week 15 (From 2026-04-06 to 2026-04-12)

Added

  • Experiments index now has live filtering by theme and tool, letting visitors instantly narrow down experiments without a page reload.

Fixed

  • XML file URLs are now excluded from the sitemap to improve crawl quality.

Week 12 (From 2026-03-16 to 2026-03-22)

Added

  • IndexNow integration: sitemap URLs are automatically submitted to search engines on every successful deploy.
  • YouTube shortcode using youtube-nocookie.com for privacy-respecting, responsive video embeds on any page.
  • AI prompt shortcode with multiple visual skins for displaying prompts inline in experiment posts.
  • Paginated PPTX presentation-preview shortcode for embedding slide decks as interactive page-flipping previews.

Changed

  • SEO indexing narrowed: blog, changelog, and AI landing sections are now excluded from search engine indexing to focus crawl budget on experiments and core pages.

Fixed

  • Core Web Vitals CLS score dropped from 1.055 to ~0 by switching to a standard blocking stylesheet instead of async CSS loading.
  • Page titles shortened to stay within Bing and Google’s recommended 65-character limit.
  • Canonical hygiene: noindex pages are now excluded from the sitemap, and paginated URLs enforce a trailing slash via redirect.

Week 11 (From 2026-03-09 to 2026-03-15)

Added

Changed

  • Homepage intro copy now adds a final line framing the experiments as self-discovery before the primary CTAs.
  • About page copy now explains the personal motive behind the daily experiments and the internal obstacles they reveal.

Fixed

  • SVG resources in content image rendering now bypass Hugo raster-only dimension access, and the Experiment 25 site-structure diagram was reduced to static SVG markup so it loads without inline behavior.

Week 10 (From 2026-03-02 to 2026-03-08)

Added

Changed

  • Site-wide content images now run through Hugo image processing (responsive srcset + compressed WebP variants) for markdown images and gallery/inline image shortcodes.
  • Experiment 13 now supports compact prompt previews from local prompt*.md files via a new prompt-preview shortcode, with consistent wrapped rendering for long prompt text.
  • Site-wide processed WebP image quality was retuned to q94 for sharper text and UI screenshots.
  • inline-images shortcode now supports optional quality and width parameters, with width-constrained image blocks aligned to the left edge of the text column.
  • Plan documents are now colocated inside their experiment folders (page bundles), and the separate /plans section/templates were removed.
  • Added schema.org JSON-LD across Hugo-rendered pages (WebSite, Person, WebPage, CollectionPage, ItemList, BlogPosting) plus Service/Offer/FAQPage markup on the OpenClaw setup landing page.
  • Experiment pages now use Article schema, with strengthened publisher/organization/social relationships across structured data.
  • SEO/discovery metadata was expanded across pages: canonical usage, sitemap reference in robots output, breadcrumbs markup, and fuller social/author/article meta tags.
  • Performance pass shipped: non-blocking main stylesheet loading, lazy/deferred comments and hotkeys assets, and deferred interaction initialization on the OpenClaw service page.
  • Email exposure was reduced by obfuscating contact links at render/runtime and removing direct email fields from schema output.
  • Navigation/mobile UX updates: Home hidden on mobile, AI Experiments shortened to Experiments on mobile, and dark-mode toggle alignment tuned with nav buttons.

Fixed

  • plan-preview shortcode heading hierarchy now avoids rendering h1.
  • Mobile nav regression where Home remained hidden at larger breakpoints.

Week 9 (From 2026-02-23 to 2026-03-01)

Added

Changed

  • Experiment metadata/title updates and day/date metadata rows on overview cards.

Fixed

  • Memoji avatar crop and icon asset regeneration.

Week 8 (From 2026-02-16 to 2026-02-22)

Added

Changed

  • Homepage/navigation copy and CTA polish, plus iterative experiment content/layout updates.
  • Production delivery hardening: www to apex redirect, production base URL updates, and analytics migration from Plausible to proxied Umami.

Fixed

  • Comment PoW normalization mismatch and experiment draft/date cleanup.

Week 7 (From 2026-02-09 to 2026-02-15)

Added

  • Initial Hugo v1 foundation with core pages/templates, taxonomy/pagination, visual styling system, and theme toggle.
  • Deployment setup and operational baseline: Netlify configuration, analytics wiring, documentation, and starter assets.
  • AI Experiments section launch with homepage hotkeys, first experiment entries, and day metadata on experiment cards.

Changed

  • Site-wide layout/branding/content refinements across home, blog, about, and now pages.
  • Homepage positioning was updated to the daily AI experiment direction.

Fixed

  • Container width consistency, blog header alignment, markdown list rendering, and experiment day-pill wrapping/alignment.
