- I added a dark mode. It follows the visitor's clock, switching to dark at 7 PM and back to light at 7 AM, and fades between the two instead of snapping. A button in the header lets you pick one yourself until the next switch.This site

- Further testing on iOS showed the 3D showcase crashing as you moved around it. It reminded me of the same memory problems I ran into with Wet Dry Digital. The fix is to show high-resolution pictures only for the cards right in front of you and fall back to small, low-resolution files for cards in the distance. As you move, the table re-ranks the cards a few times a second: what's on screen and closest gets the sharp picture, and everything else trades down. The old picture stays up until its replacement loads, so nothing flashes blank.Binder Bangers
- Sometimes I want to show the collection without selling from it. One switch now turns every card into display only, with no prices, and each card keeps its own marking for when I switch back.Binder Bangers
