Field Notes.

Dated notes from real Favur runs and the work around them. RSS ↗

  1. A fourth favor joins the board

    The arenaEvolution statement of work is now on the public board alongside the2048, circles, and solarSystem. The run ledger syncs from the scored artifacts automatically, so new runs land here without a hand-updated checkout.

  2. The site grades itself now

    CI blocks any merge that regresses Lighthouse scores, ships more than 150 KB of JavaScript on the landing route, breaks an internal link, or introduces a serious accessibility violation on any route. The gates immediately caught - and fixed - an 11-second LCP on the run ledger.

  3. Getting in line means something

    The waitlist grew a second step: an optional five-question qualification, scored server-side, so invites can go to fit instead of arrival order. Email first, questions after - and skipping them costs you nothing but queue insight.

  4. Link the exact moment

    Replays are now deep-linkable: a ?event= URL drops the viewer at a specific point in a run, a copy button captures the moment you are watching, and the transport is fully keyboard-driven. Share the second it catches its own bug, not a vague timestamp.

  5. Every run gets a door

    All 75 scored runs now have permanent pages - roster, scores, deliverables, cost, and a per-run OG card - generated from validated artifacts at build time. Stale or malformed run data fails the build; the ledger at /runs is filterable, sortable, and public.

  6. favur.dev grows rooms

    The one-page favor is now a house: /runs, /how-it-works, /why-favur, /changelog, and /access each have their own door, their own metadata, and their own place in the sitemap. The scroll still works; now the links do too.

  7. Attribution that keeps its receipts

    UTM parameters are now stripped from every landing URL, preserved across internal navigation, propagated safely between favur.dev and its sibling sites, and recorded in full on waitlist signups. Where you came from survives the click.

  8. The first favor goes public

    The Solar System run - an accurate 2D solar system simulation, built end to end by Favur - became the flagship showcase: watchable, drivable, and open source down to the last commit.
