A navbar on every page, a map with pictures, and one window for every way to reach Kenney

TL;DR: Every page now has the same navbar, with Teachings always in reach and an icon on every link, folding into a Menu button on smaller screens instead of wrapping. Reach out opens one window with every way to reach Kenney and the team; Community says what's coming. There's a map of everywhere these pages lead, with a picture of each, a page to give, a roadmap, and a brighter count of what's new. Reading mode gained text sizes and shorter lines.

A navbar on every page

The entry portal, every AstroLog page and even the “page not found” pages now share one navbar: Porch, Teachings, Changelog, Library, Ledger, Map, a Get involved menu (Community, Reach out, Donate), a The sites menu (I Am One Self, the retreats, and David Amaringo’s site) and an About menu (Roadmap, Sustainability, 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, but Teachings always stays on the bar; 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. The old addresses of Kenney’s teaching pages, and the short link to his flyer, still lead to the same places.

One window for every way to reach Kenney

Reach out, wherever it appears, now opens one window with every way the foundation’s own sites give: info@IamOneSelf.com (with a button that copies the address), Kenney’s About the Speaker page, I Am One Self’s contact page for WhatsApp, Telegram, a call or a text, a free discovery call, and the retreat application. David and the Chaiconi Bari team are reached the same way, as his own site says. Places for an address of the foundation’s own and a contacts page on GitHub are marked as placeholders until they exist.

Community opens one window that says plainly where things stand: the foundation’s community doesn’t have a shared space yet, and a WhatsApp group and letters on Substack are marked “coming soon”. Below them 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, Kenney’s Teachings (each with its own medallion, and the flyer’s cover for the whole series), the record, the ways to get involved, and the foundation’s two sites. 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 one way to give that’s open today: David’s own Support David page, on his site, whose ways to give are still marked “coming soon” there. A way to give to the foundation itself, and its own words about gifts, have marked places waiting. Below them 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: Kenney’s welcome, a shared space for the community, a way to give to the foundation. The sustainability page writes down everything that keeps these pages alive (the tokens that expire, 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.

Names, and David

People are now named by first name and last initial everywhere on these pages, as in the ledger: Isaiah K, David A and Christopher W. David’s call for help is what first brought us to the foundation’s work, carried to us by Kenney; his generated avatar, a ring of the twin vine, now stands beside his work on the entry portal and on his site’s card in the map.

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 foundation’s own card

Shared links now arrive with the foundation’s own card: its name in Literata on the canopy’s deep green, and the twin vine of sky and gold, a vine of its own for every page. The headings on the sites themselves stay in PapyrusStd.
