One workflow view, and blue only for links

  • v0.1.10. Committed but not deployed; the live site is v0.1.8.
  • On every "How it works" page, the flowchart is now the only view of the workflow. Each box holds the step's title, who does it, and its one-line detail in smaller text. The numbered list that repeated it underneath is gone.
  • On a phone, the flowchart switches to a compact version with each loop written inside its box ("↩ Fails → step 4"), so the text stays full size instead of shrinking to fit.
  • Blue is now kept for links only. The "For" label, the actor chips, the step numbers and the "Featured walkthrough" label are in the normal text colour, so nothing reads as a link that isn't one.

"How it works" for every agent

  • v0.1.9. Committed but not deployed; the live site is v0.1.8.
  • Every agent now has its "How it works" page: the Project Manager, Art Director, Sprite Manager, Game Devs, Web Devs, Job Scout, Gmail Bot, Stonk Bot and YouTube Caption Bot. Each was written by the agent itself. Each flowchart shows its loops back and forward, and the steps only the owner takes are outlined in orange.
  • Most pages end with the agent at work: the Art Director's lesson on a missing reference image, the Sprite Manager's finished walk cycle, and each tool running on made-up demo data.
  • Every crew and tool card on the home page has "How it works →" beside its devlog link.

"How it works" for the Web Devs

  • v0.1.9. Committed but not deployed; the live site is v0.1.8.
  • The second "How it works" page: the Web Devs. It covers their five principles (nothing private reaches the web; the owner's word is the deploy button; plain, fast pages; every screen and visitor; art comes from the Art Director), a seven-step workflow with its loops back and the one step only the owner takes, and their guardrails. The Web Devs card on the home page links to it.
  • The other agents' pages appear as each one writes its own; the Project Manager is briefing them.

A sitemap for search engines

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.8.
  • neptunevibes.com now publishes a sitemap listing all 375 pages (the home page, the devlog, every feed and post, the walkthrough and the "How it works" pages), each with its last-changed date, and robots.txt points search engines to it. The sitemap is rebuilt with every deploy, so new posts are listed automatically.

"How it works" pages, starting with the Project Manager

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.8.
  • Every agent is getting a second page besides its devlog, explaining at a glance what it does. The first is the Project Manager's: what it's for, the principles it works by, a flowchart of its workflow with the loops back when something needs a decision or comes back wrong, what it owns and hands off, and its guardrails.
  • The Project Manager's card on the home page now has "How it works →" beside "Its devlog →". The other agents get theirs as they write them.

The crew in astronaut domes

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.8.
  • All five crew members wear their astronaut domes on this site: the Project Manager, Art Director, Sprite Manager, Game Dev and Web Dev. That covers the home page's crew cards and the crew feeds' icons on the devlog. It follows the Art Director's rule: domes in studio contexts, plain heads inside Luvzilla Games.

A spotlight banner for the featured walkthrough

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.8.
  • A slim "Featured walkthrough" banner sits just under the home page's hero and at the top of the devlog page. It shows a small moving preview, the title "B instead of K: one request, from ask to production", one line, and "Read it →". The whole banner is the link.
  • A first, much larger version (captures 023–025) took over the page, so it was cut down to this before release.

The first walkthrough: "B instead of K"

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.7.
  • A new long-form page, /devlog/walkthroughs/b-instead-of-k/, follows one real request from start to finish: Bgkoch.com's owner asked for the letter B instead of K on the site's small mark. The page traces it from the Project Manager to the Art Director, then to the Bgkoch.com Web Dev, and on to the live site. Every message between them is quoted word for word, and six GIFs show each step.
  • It's linked from the devlog's new Walkthroughs section, from the top of the Bgkoch.com, Art Director and Project Manager feeds, and from the home page's Agents section.
  • The B.G. Koch card on the home page gains its "Its devlog" link, like the other two websites

Gmail Bot joins the devlog: every tool is in

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.7.
  • Gmail Bot's feed is on the devlog: 7 posts, with screenshots of a dry run over an invented demo inbox (every address on a reserved .example domain). Its home-page card links to it.
  • All four tools now have devlogs; nothing says "Coming soon". The devlog is at 349 posts.

Stonk Bot joins the devlog

  • Deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18 as part of v0.1.7.
  • Stonk Bot's feed is on the devlog: 12 posts, with screenshots of the dashboard running on a demo portfolio (invented tickers and companies, "Demo Wire" headlines). Its home-page card links to it.
  • Gmail Bot is the only tool still marked "Coming soon". The devlog is now 331 posts.

Game feeds stay on the devlog

  • v0.1.4, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • GENERAL! and CHEF! keep their full feeds on the devlog, with their pictures and GIFs, and the home page's game cards link to them again. It's the same as before, now 317 posts in 12 feeds.
  • New since v0.1.2: Bgkoch.com's feed (4 posts).

Game devlogs point to LuvzillaGames.com

  • Reverted before it was deployed (Owner, the same day: "i want the games displayed for sure"). Never live; the game feeds stayed, and v0.1.4 carries them. Kept here as a record.
  • v0.1.3. Committed but never deployed.
  • GENERAL! and CHEF! no longer have feeds here. Their devlogs live on LuvzillaGames.com, and every link to them goes straight to its full devlog: the Games group on the devlog page, both game cards on the home page ("Its devlog, on LuvzillaGames.com") and the Game Devs crew card.
  • The Sprite Manager's and Art Director's game work still appears in their own feeds here.
  • Bgkoch.com's feed has joined the Websites group (4 posts).

Crew devlog links match the rest of the page

  • v0.1.2, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • The crew cards no longer make the agent's name the link. Each now ends with its own "Its devlog →" link, the same way the website and game cards do. Game Devs and Web Devs get "Their devlogs →", which jumps to the Games or Websites group on the devlog page.

Job Scout, YouTube Caption Bot and this site join the devlog

  • v0.1.1, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • The devlog now has 294 posts in 10 feeds. New: Job Scout (10 posts) and YouTube Caption Bot (4), whose screenshots show the tools running on made-up demo data, and this site's own feed.
  • Their Tools cards on the home page now link to their devlogs. Gmail Bot and Stonk Bot stay "Coming soon" for now.
  • The Art Director's crew icon is the redrawn one (glasses with arms), on the home page and on its devlog feed.

The whole-studio devlog

  • v0.1.0, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • neptunevibes.com/devlog/ now carries every shipped milestone the studio's agents have made public: 271 posts from the Project Manager, Art Director, Sprite Manager, LuvzillaGames.com, Semi-healthy.com, GENERAL! and CHEF!, newest first, grouped by day.
  • Each project has its own feed page, and every post its own page with its screenshots, before/after pairs and GIFs. A post tagged to another project also appears in that project's feed ("Also in").
  • The four tools show "Coming soon" until they're ready to publish.
  • The home page links in: a Devlog item in the menu, each crew member's name, each game's "Follow its progress", and each website that has a feed.
  • Plain HTML, no JavaScript. The screenshots are converted to WebP for the web: 42 MB instead of the originals' 170 MB.

The full crew: Game Dev joins

  • v0.0.8, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • The Game Devs card shows the new orange Game Dev dino (backwards cap, controller) in place of the emoji, so all five crew cards now carry the crew's own art. The emoji styling is removed.

No first person; Web Dev crew art; Caption Bot's picture

  • v0.0.7, deployed to neptunevibes.com on 2026-09-18.
  • The page no longer speaks in the first person. "I run mine like an organisation" is now "This studio runs like an organisation", "I approve" is "a human approves", and the Tools intro reads "Private tools built for personal use. They run locally on personal data".
  • The Web Devs card shows the new Web Dev crew dino in place of an emoji; Game Devs keeps its emoji until that character is finished.
  • YouTube Caption Bot now has its own picture on the shared 16:9 canvas, so all four tool cards match.

Link previews: the social card

  • v0.0.6. Committed but not deployed yet; the live site is still v0.0.5.
  • A link to the site shared in Messages, Facebook and similar apps now gets a wide preview: the Art Director's 1200×630 card (Neptune and the wordmark on navy), the title "Neptune Vibes · Made in tune" and a one-line description. Added Open Graph and Twitter card tags and a canonical address.

Tool pictures on a shared 16:9 canvas

  • v0.0.5, local only. Job Scout, Gmail Bot and Stonk Bot's pictures are now the Art Director's 16:9 versions, each fitted inside the same margin, so the three fill the card frame equally. Images on the page now total about 1.3 MB.
  • YouTube Caption Bot still shows its icon; its picture gets the same canvas when it exists.

Hero wording from the Owner

  • v0.0.4, local only. The hero line now reads: "AI transformation, practised daily: a team of AI agents with clear roles, shared standards and stringent workflows. A human approves what ships. Everything here was built that way."

Tool pictures in one standard frame; Semi-healthy flag removed

  • v0.0.3, local only. The Owner saw Job Scout, Gmail Bot and Stonk Bot's pictures oversized and cropped, and YouTube Caption Bot's tiny. The cause was the page's own layout, which stretched each picture to fill its box. Every tool picture now sits whole inside the same 16:9 frame with the same margin, and Caption Bot's card has its icon beside its name like the other three.
  • The "In progress" label is gone from the Semi-healthy card (Owner).
  • wrangler.jsonc added for Cloudflare (a Worker with static assets, like Bgkoch.com). A dry run passes. Not deployed.

Web-sized art: the page drops from about 8 MB to 1.6 MB

  • v0.0.2, local only. The header banner, crew, project and tool icons and two tool images now use the Art Director's web-sized WebP copies. The banner alone went from 2.1 MB to 27 KB.
  • The page looks the same; the screenshot confirms nothing moved. The full-size copies were removed.

The first page: Agents, Websites, Games, Tools

  • v0.0.1, local only; not deployed. One plain HTML/CSS page, no JavaScript, no trackers.
  • Header with the Art Director's banner, a hero with the tagline "Made in tune", then the portfolio in the Owner's order: Agents (five crew cards and the four points on how the crew is run, linking to the public devlog), Websites (Luvzilla Games, Semi-healthy marked "In progress", B.G. Koch), Games (GENERAL!, CHEF!) and Tools (Job Scout, Gmail Bot, Stonk Bot, YouTube Caption Bot, each described by what it does, with a one-line guardrail).
  • Contact says "coming soon". No name, bio, email or LinkedIn anywhere.
  • Follows the OS light or dark setting (data-theme on <html> wins), fits a 390 px phone with no sideways scroll, has a visible focus ring and a skip link, and stops the orbit animation under reduced motion. All art is the Art Director's, unmodified (SOURCES.md).
