May 2026 · Week 3

I shipped v1.34.0 of 11ty-subspace-builder, centralizing site and timeline copy in shared data files and reworking the templates to consume that data model cleanly. A lot of early Subspace work was intentionally optimized for speed and feedback loops rather than engineering neatness, but the project is big enough now that it needs better internal structure. This release feels like a step toward the right kind of guard rails: keeping the system flexible without leaving the growing timeline feature glued together by ad hoc copy and template assumptions.

Published Bypassing the Meta Horizon Link Drive Check in CrossOver, a write-up of the narrow binary patch that got Meta Horizon Link past its CrossOver drive eligibility check. The interesting part is that the patch did work, but only revealed the deeper problem: the installer depends on Windows service identity, driver, and runtime behavior that CrossOver does not provide cleanly.

I shipped the past couple of days of ProjectSpire work as Neow's Cafe v0.4.0, Catalog Service v0.4.0, and Parser Service v0.3.0. The old card-only parser and catalog names are now broader services, the parsers cover relics, potions, events, and monsters, and Neow's Cafe has live relic list and detail screens backed by the generated catalog instead of mock data. This is the first point where ProjectSpire feels less like a card browser and more like the start of a full Slay the Spire reference app.
