Build log — May 7: Modern mode, News page, quieter background work

May 7, 2026

## What shipped today

- News page — you're reading it. New `/news` route lists published posts, individual posts at `/news/{slug}`. Admins can draft, publish, unpublish, and edit posts inline.
- Modern Mode toggle — the `◈ MODERN MODE` / `◈ RETRO MODE` button in the nav swaps fonts, palette, and CRT effects site-wide. Choice is remembered via cookie. Useful if you want to read long-form stories without phosphor glow burning into your retinas.
- Cleaner nav — your username is now a dropdown that holds Profile, Forge, Admin, and the mode toggle. The top bar stays short on small screens; mobile gets a proper hamburger.
- Email preferences — opt out of marketing emails from your profile page. Account and security mail still goes through.
- Mobile — nav collapses behind a hamburger on small viewports.

## Quality fixes

- Adventure ZIP exports no longer download as broken HTML files (long story).
- Importing large story ZIPs no longer hits D1's storage timeout — all writes are batched into a single round-trip.
- A handful of SEO niceties for search engines: structured data on author and play pages, pagination hints on `/browse`, dates on game schema.

## What we're exploring

A few experiments are running quietly in the background. Nothing to demo yet.

More on that when it stops being a moving target.

## Spotted a bug?

This is still public beta. The feedback link in the yellow banner up top goes straight to the team — short bug reports beat polite ones.
