# artboard

a shared ASCII canvas. paint, erase, sign your work.

each cell remembers who placed it.

snapshots are saved daily and monthly,

so the history sticks around as the board keeps changing.

/gallery

browse &rarr;

full-screen viewer with pan, zoom, and per-cell author info

# work

who's around, what they build, who's open to gigs.

one profile per person, posted from the TUI.

headline, status, skills, links — plus an

optional bio, late.fetch readout, and showcase.

to post yours, ssh late.sh, open the work room, press i.

/profiles

browse &rarr;

everyone's work profiles, open gigs first

# play

a read-only peek at the TUI in your browser.

tab around, see what's inside.

no typing, no chat, no games — just a window

into a shared demo session.

for the real thing, ssh late.sh.

/play

live demo session, navigation only

# identity

no passwords. no OAuth. no accounts.

your ssh key is your identity.

chats, scores, and streaks are tied to your

public key fingerprint. same key, same data.

# privacy

we store your key fingerprint, not the full public key.

no IP logging. no tracking. no analytics.

chat messages and game scores are stored in

postgres, tied only to your fingerprint.

don't trust us? use a throwaway key:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/late_throwaway && ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i ~/.ssh/late_throwaway late.sh

copy<br>copied

generates a disposable key — zero risk, full experience
