- Project status: drop the test-instances mention and the self-contradictory
'no tagged public release yet' framing → 'early-stage and under active development'.
- Moderation: 'Bans with reason and audit trail' overstated it — there's no
append-only audit log and unban hard-deletes the record. Reworded to
'Bans with reason and moderator attribution (who, why, and when)' to match the code.
- Features list: 'read states' -> 'unread tracking (badges + unread divider)',
which is what the code actually does (no read receipts).
- Clarify the PWA bullet (add-to-home-screen standalone app) and the
mobile-responsive touch layout.
- Add a Mobile section: working mobile-browser/PWA today, native iOS/Android
app-store apps planned once traction and license funding are secured.
Replace the placeholder Screenshots section with a hero voice/video shot
and a curated 6-shot grid (chat, screen-share controls, spaces, federated
DMs, social discovery, federation admin), linking to a new
docs/screenshots.md gallery of all 14 shots grouped by feature.
Images are optimized to 1600px WebP (~1.2MB total vs ~45MB raw); raw
originals in demo-pictures/ are gitignored.
- Add Backspace-design-prototype.html: finalized "Aether Drift" design
language with warm matte surfaces and subtle frosted glass accents
- Update CLAUDE.md with DESIGN SYSTEM section and remove Discord clone references
- Rename all Opencord references to Backspace across the full codebase
- Archive outdated design experiments and Discord-specific assets
- Add science-backed accessibility fallback (prefers-reduced-transparency)
