This page tracks notable changes to the site's structure, code, and content over time, so I can remember what I did and when I did it.

Changes for March 26, 2026

Mobile CSS overflow fixes: NavBar containment, HorizontalScroll responsive sizing, form viewport constraints, header scaling for small screens.
Estimated reading time: 2 minute(s) (359 words)

The website's child pages were rendering too wide on mobile devices (375px viewport). Root causes were identified using automated Playwright testing and fixed across four CSS files: navigation buttons were unconstrained, the TimeRibbon horizontal-scroll container exceeded viewport limits, and the page form lacked mobile containment. All child pages now render correctly on mobile phones.

Estimated reading time: 3 minute(s) (662 words)

The project's root namespace was changed from MillionLittlePieces to NamtiraWeb across all 200+ source files. This makes inline ASPX server expressions like <%= NamtiraWeb.Navigation.GeneratePageBar("...") %> portable to any NamtiraWeb site, not just this one. The .vbproj, Global.asax, Site.Master, all Gateway pages, and all content page code-behind blocks were updated.

Estimated reading time: 3 minute(s) (706 words)

The NamtiraMyWeb wizard application reached feature completion with all nine pages built and integrated. The wizard collects everything needed to generate a new NamtiraWeb site: source and target paths, site identity, color scheme, theme images, fonts, ownership, feature flags, and layout options, ending with a summary/review page and a Generate button.

Changes for March 13-14, 2026

Spider bug fixes and UI simplification, plus a site-wide content review correcting 800+ typos, spelling errors, grammatical errors, and factual errors across 438 files.
Estimated reading time: 2 minute(s) (322 words)

Two Spider bugs were fixed. First, the "stale status" bug: when re-running the Spider, the UI would briefly show the previous run's final status instead of "Running" because the background task hadn't yet written to the database. The fix adds a guard in GetStatus() that checks the in-memory task state and returns "Running" if the task is still active, regardless of what the database says.

The entire NamtiraLib section was restructured from a flat list of modules into a categorized hierarchy: Basic, System Tools, File System, and Controls. Landing pages were created for each category, and all module documentation pages were updated.
