Version History
Changelog
v2.2
April 20, 2026
- Premium editorial redesign across every page — dark-native, signal red brand, warm paper text
- Committed to dark theme only — light mode removed (it was undermining the editorial direction)
- New Signal Red primary color (#E3442C) replaces the old violet; one non-negotiable brand color
- Agent-led hero on the landing page — Agent of the Day portrait sits beside the headline with a smooth radial spotlight behind
- New manifesto section on every page — "Agents are characters, not chatbots." closing beat with pull-quote and editorial CTA
- Typography upgrade: Space Grotesk display + Manrope body + Fraunces italic for authored-voice moments (manifesto accent, pull-quote)
- Frosted glass caption bar on the hero portrait — Agent of the Day name in active brand color
- Editorial button style (paper fill, ink text, red-ring hover) for the highest-weight conversions — manifesto CTA + sidebar "New Agent"
- Featured badge curation — trimmed from 13 to 6 featured agents, spread across rows so the badge actually signals editorial picks
- Corners tightened from 6–16px to 2–4px for a crisper premium feel
- Grain texture added (editorial noise via mix-blend-mode overlay)
- Sidebar wordmark gains an icon and goes horizontal; topbar wordmark now reflects the current page context
- Portrait frame stays dark consistently — cards read as "character frames," not holes in a page
- "Build Your Own Agent" terminal block removed — the manifesto absorbs the conversion role
- Copy honesty: "Sub-second Response Time" stat replaced with "Quality-gated" (tied to the real AI gatekeeper feature)
- Retired accent colors (cyan + magenta) consolidated into a single amber accent alongside primary red

The Manifesto
Agents are characters, not chatbots.
Every Pixel Agent is drawn, written, and tuned like a role in a film — a voice, a face, a purpose. You don't prompt them. You cast them.
Build once. Deploy forever. Earn on every run.
Open Agent Forge
No code. Drag components, write a voice, ship.
