Docs Site Progress System Goes Live (v1.0.0)
The largest update to the docs site since its launch. Reader accounts with cross-device progress sync, Explorer/Observer dual perspectives, the reading scanline, interlinked clues, and five floating islands — the world finally remembers every step you've taken.
Docs Site Progress System Goes Live — v1.0.0
The largest update to the lore documentation site since its launch, concluding months of development. The docs site has grown from "a website you can read" into "a world that remembers what you've read."
Reader Accounts & Progress Sync
Reader registration: establish your identity through an onboarding ritual and receive a unique alias rolled by the system
Cross-device sync: reading progress uploads in real time so you can continue on any device; concurrent reading across devices is detected and safely merged
Guest mode: progress accumulates locally without an account; guest progress is preserved on login and restored on logout
Dual Perspectives
Explorer: the default perspective — content unlocks progressively as you read, following the story's rhythm
Observer: sign the protocol through a ritual and see everything — at a small, permanent cost
Content gates: some content only appears with specific flags, reading progress, or a pristine identity
Reading Progress & Interlinks
Scanline: your reading position is tracked as you go; returning to an article offers to resume where you left off
Completion tracking: finished articles are recorded and roll up into chapter and zone progress
Interlinked clues: characters, locations, and story points connect across articles — clue cards surface at key passages, echoing across History, Echoes, and Visuals
Entity lookup: tap any interactive character or location in the text to open its dossier entry
Five Floating Islands
Each zone has its own island companion, unlocked through exploration — each with its own little ritual:
History — Navigation Bookmark: resume reading, chapter directory, and progress overview
Echoes — Portable Playlist: carry unlocked songs with you, playback uninterrupted across pages
Visuals — Clue Collection: revisit collected visual clues and bookmarks anytime
Concepts — Live Dossier: entities you tap mid-reading expand into mini dossiers
Storage — Sticky Notes: pinnable notes to leave your thoughts in this world
Reading Rhythm & U.E.P
Rest reminders: read long enough and U.E.P will suggest a break — with a chance of a tea invitation to the tea room
Entrance animations: she now appears in the homepage and all five zone intros
Idle veil: step away for a while and a veil falls over the page; she waits in the mist for your return
Guided tours: each island offers an interactive tour on first unlock
Behind the Scenes
Authentication security: fully hardened (fail-closed) with registration and login throttling
Isolated test environment: a dedicated test worker and database keep acceptance testing away from production data
Performance: homepage render-blocking CSS down 64%, font subsetting, deferred style injection for conditional components
Test coverage: over 2,400 automated tests, plus a full manual acceptance checklist before release
What's Next
Continued mobile experience polish
