Our Services

v5.9

• Sign In: the menu button now opens the full sign-in page (Google, Facebook and email) instead of jumping straight to Google

v5.8

• Fix: event registration now works for logged-in visitors too — data calls use a lock-free path so the modal always opens and registrations save reliably.

v5.7

• Fix: event registration modal would not open for logged-in visitors (an auth-session check could hang). It now opens reliably for everyone.

v5.6

• Event registration: you can now sign in with Google, Facebook or email right inside the registration form to link your booking to an account
• Signing in via Google/Facebook returns you to the event with the form ready to complete
• Registering as a guest (no account) still works exactly as before

v5.5

• Sign-in: added Continue with Facebook alongside Google
• New email + password registration — create an account or sign in with a form, with a password-reset link
• Login page redesigned with a sign-in / create-account toggle

v5.4

• Events: added the upcoming gathering — ‘Visions of Truth: The Mystical World of Hildegard von Bingen’ (18 September 2026, venue & time TBA)
• New event registration: visitors can Reserve a Place or Register Interest (which does not guarantee a place) via a guest-friendly form — no account or payment needed
• Built on a multi-tenant foundation (organizers / events / registrations) so the booking system can later be offered to other event organizers

v5.2

• Exercise prompt: tapping 'Begin practice' now transforms the current slide into the exercise in-place — no slide transition — keeping the user on the same reel
• Practice panel and deep-link launches still insert a new exercise slide and scroll as before

v5.1

• Favicon: generated from the Sacred XP logo — deep purple rounded-square background across all standard sizes (16, 32, 48, 96, 192, 512 px), .ico, and Apple touch icon
• PWA web manifest added (site.webmanifest) with theme colour and home-screen icons
• Theme-colour meta tag set to brand deep purple (#2d1b4e) for browser chrome on mobile

v5.0

• Auth return fix: login redirects from products, account, cart, and orders pages now include a ?return= parameter so the user lands back on the originating page after OAuth completes
• Products → Enter Reel: after login the user returns to products.html to complete timer selection instead of landing on account.html
• Cart and Orders sign-in links now return the user to the respective page after login

v4.9

• Auth return: signing in from any page now returns the user to exactly where they were — nav sign-in button, auth-gated redirects, and session-expiry all preserve the originating URL via localStorage across the OAuth round-trip
• Sign-out from any page returns to the same page — auth-gated pages (reel, account) automatically redirect to login with the return URL intact
• Session expired on the reel now redirects to login with a return URL so the user lands straight back on the reel after re-authenticating
• Login page: already-logged-in fast-path now respects the ?return= parameter instead of always going to account.html

v4.8

• Quiz attempts: every answer is recorded with an attempt_number so the full try history is tracked across sessions
• Wrong answers resurface the quiz 5–8 slides later so the user gets another chance — correct answers never resurface
• Feed skips quizzes the user already answered correctly in any previous session
• Wrong result message now reads '✗ Not quite — this one will come back.' to set expectations

v4.7

• Quiz feed fix: removed invalid PostgREST order parameter that silently prevented quizzes from loading — feed now correctly interleaves a quiz every 8–13 slides

v4.6

• Quiz Reels: new 4th reel type — one question with multiple-choice options, correct/wrong feedback, and optional explanation revealed on answer
• Quiz options lock immediately on tap; correct answer always highlights green, wrong pick highlights red
• Action buttons (like, save, comment) unlock only after the user answers — keeps engagement intentional
• Quizzes interleave in the feed every 8–13 slides; no quiz repeats within a session
• User answers persisted to quiz_answers table (one per user per quiz)
• Full like, save, and comment support consistent with reels, dialogues, and exercises
• Backend: quiz_reels, quiz_options, quiz_answers, quiz_reactions, quiz_saves, quiz_comments tables

v4.5

• All audio now routes through Howler.js (shared AudioContext) — one user gesture unlocks autoplay for all subsequent sounds on iOS/Safari
• Removed HTMLAudioElement usage entirely: reel TTS, dialogue turn TTS, exercise step TTS, and exercise intro TTS all use Howl instances
• Global mute now calls Howler.mute() — all sounds silenced/restored instantly without per-instance tracking
• Audio unlock prompt wired to Howler.ctx.resume() — reliably resumes the shared AudioContext on first tap

v4.4

• Dialogue: chat bubble appears at the exact moment audio starts — typing dots show while TTS URL resolves (min 300 ms), then bubble and audio fire simultaneously
• Autoplay after dialogue: 6 s reflection countdown starts once all turns finish
• Autoplay on exercise prompt: 8 s countdown skips the slide if the user doesn't tap Begin — cancelled immediately if they do
• startAutoplay() now accepts an explicit duration so non-reel slides can use the same progress-bar countdown

v4.3

• TTS cache v2: DB triggers on reels, dialogue_turns, and exercises auto-generate audio on INSERT — no frontend request needed for pre-loaded content
• Frontend TTS dedup cache: module-level Map prevents duplicate edge-function calls for the same text+voice (prewarm, playback, and retry all share one Promise)
• Exercise descriptions: new description_audio_url column populated by trigger; prewarm and intro playback use it without an API call
• prewarmLookahead now runs inside fillQueue's finally block — slides added to the queue are prewarmed immediately, not after the next swipe
• Audio indicator removed in both reel-audio paths (prewarm hit and fresh load) — 'Loading audio…' no longer lingers when audio was pre-cached
• Reel audio: removed redundant .load() call in prewarm — prevented browser from discarding already-buffered data
• Audio unlock prompt: now routes through tryPlayAudio so the autoplay ended-listener is correctly wired after the first tap

v4.2

• iOS audio unlock: silence element now pre-loaded at startup so play() succeeds reliably on first gesture
• Dialogue audio: done-promise wired before play() — clip can never hang even if it's very short or play() is rejected
• Dialogue: play() rejection (NotAllowedError) now falls back to reading-time delay instead of freezing forever
• Dialogue replay: stale event listeners cleared on each replay; replay row hidden at run start for clean re-runs
• Autoplay: countdown now starts after the reel audio ends, not when the slide appears
• Autoplay: countdown duration scales with quote length (3 s – 12 s) instead of a fixed 5 s

v4.1

• Mobile audio: first swipe/tap now proactively unlocks iOS/Safari autoplay — no more 'tap to enable audio' prompt in normal use
• Audio pre-warming: entering any slide silently pre-generates TTS for the next 2 slides (reel, exercise, dialogue)
• Exercises: intro TTS pre-fetched before slide enters — starts playing immediately on swipe
• Dialogues: all turn audio pre-fetched — conversation flows without gaps between speakers
• Reels: audio pre-buffered via .load() so playback is instant on swipe
• Extracted ttsToUrl() helper — removes duplicated content-type branching across playStepTTS, playDialogueTurnTTS, and exercise intro

v4.0

• Dialogue Reels: new conversational format — two speakers, turn by turn, each with their own TTS voice
• Each turn reveals with a typing indicator, then the bubble slides in as audio plays
• Speaker A (left, muted) and Speaker B (right, accent gold) have distinct visual bubbles
• Replay button appears after all turns; Like, Save, Comment interactions enabled
• Dialogue reels interleave in the feed every 5–9 slides
• Backend: dialogue_reels, dialogue_turns, dialogue_reactions, dialogue_saves, dialogue_comments tables

v3.9

• Saved reels list on account page now loads correctly (fixed column mismatch causing empty list)
• Saved reels randomly resurface in the feed — first after 5–8 slides, then every 8–14
• Resurfaced saves show a brief '✦ From your saves' tag that fades after 2.5 s
• Comment panel auto-dismisses 1 s after posting (button shows ✓ Sent)

v3.8

• Exercise steps: short label now shown large as the title; full instructions shown as smaller readable body text below
• Exercise intro: timer setting hidden when all steps already have a built-in countdown

v3.7

• Exercise intro phase: description read aloud via TTS before exercise begins
• Begin › button starts exercise — description hidden once exercise is running
