Small tweaks, big feel: this update focuses on sponsor presentation, a more immersive backdrop, and the kind of layout polish you notice most when it’s missing.
What changed
- Sponsor rails are now part of the layout, giving sponsor content a consistent home without fighting the main reading flow.
- Full-bleed backgrounds are live, including soft orb details and a subtle top radial glow for depth.
- Layout polish across the experience: spacing, alignment, and a few sharp edges filed down.
- Mint joined the team — welcome aboard.
- Removed the old sponsor placeholder from the Articles landing. (It was time.)
Why it matters
Sponsor rails make sponsorship feel intentional and readable: clear boundaries, predictable placement, and less visual disruption. The full-bleed background treatment adds atmosphere without stealing attention—the orbs and top glow are designed to support the content, not compete with it. The rest of the polish is about trust: when the UI feels calm and consistent, the product feels faster, sturdier, and easier to use.
