1.9.4
The site's own metadata had been stripping em dashes out of share cards for releases, which meant every page disagreed with the text it posted to a timeline. There are none left in the copy to strip: 62 in the changelog and the rest across the front page, About, Apps, Privacy and the app descriptions, rewritten as commas, colons, parentheses or a second sentence. The closing plate's second button had shipped white on a cream ground since the plate learned to invert with the theme. The footer printed the support address twice and drew nothing at the end of the page.

Highlights
- 01
The writing has no em dashes
The changelog held 62 of them, one release note in three. A dash holding up a clause is now a colon where the clause is a list, parentheses where it is an aside, and a full stop where the second half stood on its own. The rule is written into the house style at the top of the release file, so the next entry inherits it.
- 02
A button that inverts with the plate it sits on
The ghost button on the closing plate hardcoded white text, a white wash and a white hairline. That was correct for the dark plate and invisible on the light one, which is the plate the whole site shows in dark theme. It reads the plate's own ink now, so the pair survives the two grounds trading places.
- 03
The mark, under the end of the page
The footer ends on the Hexncoin mark, oversized, cropped by the bottom of the page and drawn in whichever accent the theme is using. The layer is masked rather than the mark, because clipping alone ends the glow on a ruled line halfway up the footer.
Everything in this release
Improved3
- The wallet card on the front page is a three-track row rather than a wrapping one, so the button cannot be pushed onto a line of its own by a text column that has run out of room. Its copy is 27 words rather than 45, and says that a Google or Apple sign-in is Phantom making the wallet and handing back the address.
- The closing plate leads with what the reader gets rather than restating the tagline printed at the top of the same page.
- The futarchy index shows nothing at all when MetaDAO's index and the on-chain programs both return nothing, rather than a header and two buttons above an empty list.
Fixed1
- Get in touch is legible. It took the plate's ink instead of a hardcoded white in both themes.
Removed2
- The support address is printed once in the footer, on the button, rather than also as a link in the Elsewhere column.
- Futarchy is out of the site navigation while those pages are under review. The five remaining links still cover the site, /futarchy and every DAO page under it still resolve, and both are still in the sitemap.
