A navbar on every page, a map with pictures, and one window for every way in

A navbar on every page
The entry portal, every AstroLog page and even the “page not found” pages now share one navbar: Porch, Changelog, Library, Ledger, Map, a Get involved menu (Community, Reach out, Donate) and an About menu (Roadmap, Sustainability, psanctuary.org, the sibling organization and GitHub). Every link has an icon beside its words, in the navbar and in the footer.
It never wraps into a second row. When a window gets narrower, the least-needed links slip into a More menu; below a laptop’s width the whole bar folds into one Menu button, which opens a panel of everything, grouped. The menus work from the keyboard: arrow keys move through them, and Esc closes them and puts you back where you were.
One window for every way in
Reach out, wherever it appears, now opens one window with every way to reach the church: the contact form on psanctuary.org, and info@psanctuary.org (with a button that copies the address). A place for this organization’s own contacts page is marked as a placeholder until there is one.
Community opens one window for the church’s member network on Mighty Networks, with both of its doors: its public front page, where members sign in, and its membership plans, for joining. Below it is a sneak peek at something further out: a small network of the community’s own, on open protocols like Lens and Farcaster, paired with a DAO, privacy first. No dates; a direction, not a promise.
A map with pictures
The map shows everywhere these pages lead, grouped: the two front doors, the record, the ways to get involved, and the places beyond GitHub. Each one shows the picture its link shows when you share it, so you can see where you’re going before you go. The entry portal has the same map, drawn from the same file.
A page to give
The new donate page points to the church’s own giving page on psanctuary.org. Below it is a thank-you list for anyone who’d like to be named for their gifts of time, skill or money; it’s empty for now, and no one is ever listed without saying yes. A place to give from a crypto wallet is there too, marked “coming soon”. There’s no wallet address on the page, on purpose: if you ever see one claiming to be ours, please check with us first.
Where it’s headed, and what keeps it running
The roadmap says what comes next, without dates. The sustainability page writes down everything that keeps these pages alive (one access token that expires, two scheduled jobs, the shared kit, cached link previews), so none of it depends on anyone’s memory. Both are linked from the footer of every page.
What’s new, louder
Coming back after a while? The count of what’s new since your last visit is now a bright, filled pill in the header, with a small note under it the first time it appears, and the count also rides on the Menu button. It glows gently a few times, and not at all when motion is set to Still or reading mode is on.
Reading, round two
Beside the reading switch (in the light and motion drawer and the welcome guide) there are now four text sizes and a comfortable line length switch, which keeps lines of text shorter with a little more room between them. Reading mode turns on the shorter lines too, and puts them back when you leave it. Both are in / search as well: type text or line.
The church’s professional face
The church holds two organizations on GitHub, and they now say plainly how they differ. This one, psanctuarychurch, is the church’s official home here, and its look stays calm: gold on violet-black, by candlelight or on print paper. Its share cards are framed in a double gold hairline, with a quieter spore print. The sibling organization, psanctuary, is the playful, decentralized side, where experiments in community-owned tools take shape.
