Every meaningful change, dated to the day it landed. The history is part of the proof: what we claim now is checkable against what we shipped when.
newest first ยท updated 2026-07-18Twenty-two articles on how everything works, every claim written against the code and ending in a checkable receipt. Each page shows when it last changed, and a feedback control on every article lets you flag anything out of date - anonymously, by construction.
The landing, privacy, and terms pages are now prerendered to static HTML, so crawlers and AI assistants read full content without running JavaScript. The site also gained its mark-only logo, a sitemap, and a robots policy that welcomes AI crawlers.
Four live views of the auction: every verified view as a tick at the exact bid that paid for it, the standing order book, the slate minute by minute, and cumulative money paid to developers. Real data only - a quiet market renders as honest quiet, never as a fake pulse.
A new setting controls whether an advertiser logo appears before the sponsored line on the webview surfaces. Off means text only; on never invents a logo for ads without one.
The installer finds your editor - VS Code, Cursor, Devin, VSCodium, VS Code Insiders - and installs the extension from its own marketplace. Zero dependencies and no network calls of its own, both enforced by its published tests.
Advertisers can link or upload any image; the server downscales it and inlines the bytes into the ad, so an editor never fetches from an advertiser server and a developer address never reaches one. The setup guide also arrived: a floating checklist that follows you until setup is done.
The auction now excludes your own campaigns from the slates your machines see, on top of the ledger rule that already refused self-view money. The client also stopped claiming editor safety it had not verified for the running build.
Money moved onto a balanced double-entry ledger: each verified charge books the advertiser debit, the developer share, and the platform fee as one transaction that must balance. Money is never conjured and never quietly lost.
The client went public and the extension shipped to the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX. From this day the code that runs on your machine is the code you can read.
Social sign-in arrived, and linking an editor became a one-tap approval in the browser using the session you already have. The egress manifest also went public: every request the client can make, written down field by field.
The sponsored line learned to render as a banner above the composer and as a line in the terminal status area, alongside the status bar and the thinking line. Every surface beyond the status bar is opt-in, and the money rule is identical on all of them.
The flagship surface: the sponsored line rendered over the agent thinking indicator itself. Nothing is patched unless the file bytes hash-match a known original, everything is backed up first, and any doubt falls back to the status bar.
The monorepo is born and the backend deploys: auction, slates, verified events, and the first sponsored line served end to end. Everything since is on this page.
