• 2026-04-17 Mermaid diagrams in Markdown, without handing the page to a CDN

  The engine now turns any mermaid code block into a client-rendered diagram — lazy-loaded from a vendored bundle, wrapped in a three-layer container so the raw source survives for LLM crawlers and no-JS readers even after the browser replaces the block with an SVG.

• 2026-04-17 A project got its own domain, and the engine got path-preserving aliases

  Renamed the Agency project to Unseizable and moved it to its own apex domain, unseizable.fyi. The engine gained a clean way to rename a live project without breaking a single existing link — and the whole workflow is now a ten-minute checklist rather than a discovery exercise.

• 2026-04-16 Linking domains so reputation flows both ways

  Added bidirectional identity linking between kda.zone and wardleymaps.com — rel="me", Schema.org Person with sameAs, content attribution, and llms.txt — then codified the pattern as a repeatable checklist for every domain in the content farm.

• 2026-04-14 I asked ChatGPT to evaluate my site. It said: not credible.

  ChatGPT dismissed agency.kda.zone as a ghost project with no footprint. Some of that is wrong. Enough of it is right to force a rethink of what each project needs to become legible — not just to AI, but to anyone encountering it for the first time.

• 2026-04-04 Measure before you build

  Added self-hosted GoatCounter analytics across all domains. You can't build engagement features until you know whether anyone is visiting.

• 2026-04-04 If it's not shareable, it doesn't exist

  Added full Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags to every page, plus frontmatter-based redirects for renamed content and anchor IDs on log index entries. A personal presence engine that can't produce rich link previews isn't doing its job.

• 2026-04-01 Going Live

  personal-presence-os is live on kda.zone and lego-submarine.kda.zone. Hetzner VPS, Cloudflare, no frameworks. From first code to production in a conversation.

• 2026-04-01 A moment of doubt: should I just use WordPress?

  Evaluated WordPress as an alternative to the custom engine. The answer is no — but the question was worth asking.
