I build this one in the open, so here's the whole list, the glamorous bits and the housekeeping, roughly in the order it's likely to actually happen.
Every article narrated in my own voice, not a robot's. Press play on the tape and it reads to you, reels turning.
Pieces on the things I build and break. Slowly, whenever I have something worth saying.
Little interactive toys and experiments, playable right there in the arcade cabinet.
A flat, gradient-free night palette, with your preference remembered.
A way to reach me without plastering my email across the page for the bots to harvest.
A few small things that only show up on certain days. You'll know them when you see them.
Each tape its own coloured shell, and proportions closer to a real cassette than a wee monitor.
Fussing over the lab's CRT cabinet until the scanlines and the screen curve feel right.
Swapping the rebuilt mark for a clean vector of the genuine article.
Settling the final set of typefaces and self-hosting them so the site loads leaner.
Upgrading my little design tool into something I can drag the shapes around in, not just nudge sliders.
Checking the whole thing on actual phones, not just a resized browser window.
A full once-over for contrast, keyboard nav, screen readers, and reduced motion.
Running the whole site past the harshest, least forgiving reviewer I can muster before I call it launched. A proper bastard of a review.
No release dates, because I'd only miss them. This list is honest, which means it changes. What I'm on right now ▸
