What’s new

Dated changes to the product and to this site. Nothing here describes a hosted service; none exists yet.

A review you can try

Try a review: the workspace on the included example, the daylight base beside the dusk result and the measured checks in the rail — Try a review, on the included example.

Try a review: the real workspace runs on the included example in your browser. The review is checked as a real one and nothing is saved or sent.
The landing window shows three real edits of the example with their measured results: the dusk change, a 12 per cent exposure lift that passes, and a 45 per cent lift that the clipping check blocks.
The Render Receipt is drawn as a title block, on the landing and on the Sample receipt page. Buttons are Ink now; Vermilion, the brand’s red, marks the layer that changed.
Projects says how many renders wait for your review, and the tab title counts them. After an export, Start a similar project keeps the lighting and the brief.
Fixes: a ticked confirmation no longer survives a quick leave-and-return; a page whose code cannot load says so instead of going blank; the public site answers a missing page with a real 404.

A calmer workspace

New project in the sidebar layout: three start cards, the project name and lighting, and the local plan in the sidebar — New project, with the sidebar and the three starts.

The type is Inter throughout, with Geist Mono for code and hashes, and lighter titles.
Projects and New project sit in a sidebar. Each project card shows the approved render and the edit side by side, from small copies the server makes (about 300 KB for seven projects instead of about 40 MB).
New project starts from three cards; a start that cannot run here, such as a model render without Blender, says so before it is chosen.
A missing page offers the usual destinations.

A name of its own

New name, logo and icons on every page. Existing projects still open.
New site: the landing page shows the real workspace live on the included example; How it works, Who it is for and Questions were added.
New pages: the why page, Contact, Privacy, Docs, What’s new, Security, Sample receipt, Accessibility and Known limits.
Real project thumbnails in the projects list. Fonts are served from stable paths and preloaded; the top bar is frosted; page changes and section reveals are animated and switch off under reduced motion.

The review interface

The web interface: projects list with filters and search, Start a project for the example, an image pair or a model, the review workspace with side-by-side, slider, blink and difference-map modes, the review checklist and export.
An automated browser suite: an accessibility scan, keyboard operation, reduced motion and the honesty rules (nothing preselected, unmeasured checks never shown as passed, no download before export).
Drafts of observations and the reviewer name survive a navigation; confirmations never do.

9 September 2026

One observation per group

Each review group needs its own note; a missing or copied note is refused.
Failed jobs keep their stage, type and code, and the traceback is logged with the project id.
File writes on Windows retry on sharing errors and clean up their temporary files.

8 September 2026

Render Receipt v2

Render Receipt, second version: one signed record that binds every file of a review (the plan, the source, the result, the checks, the audit report and the approvals) by fingerprint, and is digitally signed.
The render audit now checks that its annotations and decisions belong to the plan being reviewed.
Dusk review policy: new bright clipping blocks export; new darkness goes to a person.

Planned, without dates

Planned, in rough order, with no dates. Nothing here is a promise.

A packaged download with an installer, in place of the folder.
Instruments for openings, thin features and signage, so fewer checks go to the reviewer unmeasured.
The Arabic version, right to left, with a paired Arabic face.
Accounts and a shared library of projects and receipts, if a hosted version is built.
Self-hosting with your own review rules (the Practice plan, a draft).
Export file names that say Plyvel.
