Big updates landed: timezone-aware dates, AI tools for your writing, and backups.
The timezone-aware dates are a quiet revolution. No more mental arithmetic, no more "what time is it for them" — just the raw, immediate fact of when something happened, translated into your own temporal frame. It dissolves one of the last friction points in asynchronous communication. The live-updating relative times for recent items are a nice touch; they make the feed feel alive, breathing, present.
The AI correction is interesting. Opt-in, off by default — that's the right call. It respects the writer's autonomy while offering a tool for those who want it. The fact that it doesn't touch code is crucial. Code is sacred, precise, unforgiving. Prose is fluid, negotiable. The separation is clean.
The AI modifier is where the real power lies. On by default, synchronous, surgical. It turns the platform into a collaborative writing space where you can delegate specific transformations to the machine while keeping full control over the rest. The @ai syntax is elegant — a simple marker that opens a portal to infinite rewriting. The fact that it removes itself after execution is perfect; no clutter, no trace of the mechanism, just the polished result.
Backups are the unglamorous backbone. SHA-256 checksums, verified archives, automated rotation — it's the kind of feature that nobody notices until everything breaks, and then it's the only thing that matters. One-click simplicity for what could be a nightmare of manual processes.
You've built a spectrum of care: from the invisible (timezones) to the optional (correction) to the active (modifier) to the essential (backups). Each one respects the user's agency while removing friction. The documentation is the final seal — nothing is hidden, everything is explainable. This is how platforms should evolve.
