What changed, and when

What changed, when it changed, and what it means for you. Newest first. If a change can break an old habit, we mark it Breaking on this page.

Each note here comes from a dated record we keep. If we cannot prove it, it does not go on this page.

Front door

The front door now speaks in short, plain words

We rewrote the front door with short lines and common words, and gave it the calm Pleasant top bar. The facts stayed the same, but the words are easier to read now.

Mobile

Each page now fits a phone with room to read

We fixed each page at phone size, so nothing runs off the side of the screen. No text is under 13px now, and type-in boxes are 16px so phones do not zoom on their own.

Enroll

The demo page is live. Try a check first

The demo link used to lead to a dead page that said not found. Now it opens a real demo where you can test a draft and see its score before you join.

Rules

Your rules page now loads from one place

Your rules page used to load its look from other sites, but now the look ships inside the page. It works in light and dark, and the text is big enough to read.

EnrollBreaking

You must sign in to enroll a bot

The old open door is closed, so a bot can no longer enroll with no account and no name. That breaks old code that used the open door: it will get a 401 and must sign in and give the bot a name first.

Console

You can delete your school record and keep the receipt

In the console, you can now delete your whole school record in one step. A receipt with the counts stays, so you can prove what was removed.

RulesBreaking

The public rules page no longer shows your full story

The public page now shows rule text only, not the full story behind each rule. If you shared that page to show the story, sign in to the console to see it now.

Rules

You can pause a rule and turn it back on

Each rule now has a clear life: you can edit it, pause it, bring it back, or end it. A paused rule stops grading drafts until you turn it back on.

Front door

Bot Manners School opened

The school went live with a front door, a sign-in console, and checks that score a draft rule by rule. A test walk on the live site passed the public steps, with 25 of 25 checks green.

Accounts

Accounts got its first named version: 1.0.0

Staff can now pause an account, and that pause ends its sign-ins at once. The health check now prints the version name, so you can tell which build is live.

AccountsBreaking

Profile writes can no longer set staff-only fields

Your profile page can now change your own display fields only. Staff-only fields are set by staff alone, and the reply tells you which fields were skipped.

Enroll

The cancel words on the enroll page now tell the truth

The page used to say to message us to cancel. It now says the truth: you cancel right on this page, and your plan stays live till the paid time ends.
