Timeline

I shipped v1.34.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder, centralizing site and timeline copy in shared data files and reworking the templates to consume that data model cleanly. A lot of early Subspace work was intentionally optimized for speed and feedback loops rather than engineering neatness, but the project is big enough now that it needs better internal structure. This release feels like a step toward the right kind of guard rails: keeping the system flexible without leaving the growing timeline feature glued together by ad hoc copy and template assumptions.

I shipped v1.33.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder, adding wrap toggles to Markdown code blocks and GitHub embeds. Markdown code blocks now wrap by default, including Markdown files rendered through GitHub embeds, while collapsed GitHub embeds still allow long lines to scroll horizontally. I also added a draft regression page for long GitHub and Markdown code lines so this behavior has a concrete page to test against.

I shipped v1.32.1 of 11ty-subspace-builder to fix prose link wrapping on narrow screens. Very long URLs now wrap inside the content column instead of forcing the page wider than the mobile viewport, which keeps notes and posts readable even when a raw link has nowhere graceful to break.

I shipped generated Open Graph cards for the timeline in v1.32.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. The root timeline page and individual timeline entries now get social preview images from generated card data, while static card metadata lives in site data so downstream projects can configure it without touching templates. I also updated the timeline docs to spell out how those preview images are selected.

I shipped Markdown footnote support in v1.31.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. The release also styles footnotes, backlinks, and selected footnote outlines.

I shipped dedicated archive index pages in v1.30.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder, including a timeline months index alongside the earlier weeks index. It also tightens up the shared archive navigation, which makes the timeline's growing set of month and week views feel more connected instead of like isolated pages.

I shipped a dedicated /timeline/weeks/ index in v1.29.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. It groups both month-banded weeks and ISO calendar weeks by month, includes entry counts on each link, and makes the older week archive pages easier to browse without already knowing the exact week key.

I shipped timeline topic archive pages under /timeline/:topic/ in v1.28.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. Topic tags on timeline entries now link into that namespace, which makes it easier to follow one thread of work across time without losing the main chronological feed.

I’m thinking about a timeline-specific tags page at /timeline/tags/<tag>/ so I can group related entries together and follow one topic across time without losing the chronological context. It would make the timeline feel a little more like a long-running notebook for a single idea instead of only a straight feed.

Shipped a fix for the timeline entry detail view in v1.27.1 of 11ty-subspace-builder. Earlier in thread now includes older siblings from the same branch and keeps the nearest prior entry closest to the current one instead of flipping the thread upside down.

Shipped GitHub-style collapse and expand controls for long Markdown code blocks in v1.27.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. The release also reuses that shared copy-and-collapse behavior for regular fenced code blocks, which keeps the interaction consistent instead of treating Markdown blocks as a separate case.

I shipped month archive pages for timeline entries, month-banded week archive pages under /timeline/weeks/, and ISO calendar week archives in v1.26.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. That gives the timeline a few more ways to browse older entries without flattening the chronological flow.

Shipped theme mode control and delayed previews in v1.25.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. The new theme switch adds explicit auto, light, and dark modes instead of treating the site theme as a hidden implementation detail, and delayed previews make hover previews configurable so they feel less jumpy when moving around a page.

Published the first follow-up entry in the new threaded timeline model.

Timeline entries can now point back to earlier entries, which turns the feed into more of a build log than a flat list. This update continues from the original timeline launch and marks the point where parent and follow-up relationships became part of the feature.

The implementation for this lives in PR #17.

I published The Limits of AI and Where Humans Shine — a devlog about a tiny timeline sorting bug that turned into a useful comparison between AI confidence, runtime verification, and human judgement. It follows the fix from plausible-but-wrong timestamp changes to a quoted-date guard that keeps the timeline honest.

I added a /release skill to 11ty-subspace-builder in f1cb3a3. It captures the release ritual in one place: choose the semver bump, update package.json, commit chore: release vX.Y.Z, push, and create the GitHub release with the right title, body, and compare link.

Added a personal timeline feed to the site. Markdown files in timeline/, same front matter as posts. Color is tag-driven: shipped goes green, published goes blue, thinking goes amber — no extra fields needed.

Fixed OG image generation for Chinese text in v1.21.1 of 11ty-subspace-builder — social cards were silently dropping CJK characters, now they render correctly.

Added copy buttons to long fenced code blocks in v1.21.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. Short snippets don't get one — only blocks long enough that scrolling to copy is annoying.

Code blocks and GitHub embeds now follow the runtime theme in v1.19.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder. If a visitor switches between light and dark, the embeds switch with them rather than staying hardcoded.

Shipped a lightweight notes section in v1.19.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder — short-form content separate from posts, with its own collection and OG image support so each note gets a proper social card.
