Release Notes ​

v0.3.1 ​

Prelude ​

Reworked site positioning and messaging across all pages. The site now leads with a clear standpoint instead of generic descriptions. Internal method naming (WSPL) has been removed from all public-facing content -- the method speaks through the prompts, not the label.

New Features ​

  • Homepage now opens with a manifest-style tagline and three positioning blocks replacing the generic "What This Is / Who / Why" structure. Tagline: "AI amplifies what's already there. Shit in, shit out. That's not a tool problem."
  • proto.labs now opens with a Pippi Longstocking quote and a one-line rationale for experimentation, establishing tone before describing the lab contents.

Other Notes ​

  • WSPL removed as a public-facing label across the website and the prompt.forge GitHub repository. The prompt design method is now referenced as "my method" with a neutral anchor link.
  • Job-to-be-Done prompt page now opens with the problem statement ("Writing good prompts is hard...") and uses the full term "Jobs-to-be-Done" instead of the JTBD abbreviation.
  • Learning Zone Mode prompt page now leads with the provocative opener "AI can make you lazy." and has been tightened for clarity.

v0.3.0 ​

Prelude ​

This release introduces two WSPL-based prompt templates to proto.labs, showcasing prompt design principles in practice. Both prompts are production-ready and serve as reference implementations of the WSPL methodology, available for immediate use and experimentation. The release includes enhanced navigation through dynamic sidebar generation and clear calls-to-action for community participation.

New Features ​

  • Added Job To Be Done (JTBD) Interview Coach prompt -- a meta-prompt that guides users through adaptive JTBD interviews to generate custom prompts. Produces two artifacts: comprehensive job documentation and an optimized prompt tailored to specific requirements. Based on Bob Moesta's JTBD methodology with WSPL design.
  • Added Learning Zone Mode prompt -- an adaptive teaching assistant that maintains users in their optimal learning zone. Detects comfort, learning, and panic zones, adjusting teaching style accordingly to prevent skill atrophy while building understanding. Maps to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development with constructionist learning principles.
  • Implemented dynamic sidebar generation for proto.labs and prompt.forge sections using getSidebarItems() helper function, automatically discovering and displaying markdown files with proper title formatting.
  • Added "Share Your Experience" and "Need Something Custom?" sections to prompt pages with clear calls-to-action linking to prompt.forge experiment and GitHub discussions.
  • Enhanced proto.labs index with WSPL methodology explanation, and expectation management for custom prompt requests (~1 per week).

Other Notes ​

  • Prompts are included via VitePress include directive from .github/prompts/ source files, maintaining single source of truth while displaying as copyable code blocks.
  • Updated proto.labs philosophy to position it as personal experimental workshop with transparent, participatory, and iterative research approach.
  • Added expectation management across prompt.forge indicating selected cases are worked on approximately weekly basis.

v0.2.0 ​

Prelude ​

This release introduces the core content and structure for neoncode.systems, establishing the experimental workshop concept with two main sections: proto.labs for experimental projects and prompt.forge for the prompt engineering experiment. The site now includes comprehensive documentation, a discovery workflow for content development, and enhanced SEO optimization.

New Features ​

  • Added proto.labs experimental workshop section introducing WSPL (my method for prompt design, developed through practice) with invitation for community participation through prompt.forge experiment.
  • Added prompt.forge section documenting the Jobs-to-be-Done prompt generator experiment for testing WSPL methodology, including complete user journey (11 steps), community voting mechanism, and FAQ.
  • Implemented discovery session workflow with three-stage folder structure (exploring/ready/implemented) for content concept development and documentation lifecycle management.
  • Added VersionBadge Vue component displaying current version in navigation bar with link to version page, reading from VITE_APP_VERSION environment variable.
  • Enhanced VitePress configuration with comprehensive SEO meta tags (Open Graph, Twitter Cards), local search provider, GitHub edit links, and custom footer with legal links.
  • Configured separate site title for navigation (NC!) and browser title (NEONCODE!) using siteTitle in theme config.
  • Added GitHub templates for prompt-forge repository including README structure, issue templates for job submission, and participation guidelines.
  • Implemented GDPR-compliant privacy policy with Cloudflare-specific details (hosting, analytics, DDoS protection, security cookies).
  • Added imprint page with legal contact information and regulatory compliance details.
  • Configured AI agent instructions for content development workflow and conventional commit message generation.
  • Added comprehensive README.md documenting project structure, tech stack, development workflow, and complete setup guide including semantic versioning automation, changelog generation, release notes management, and CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Releases and environment deployments.

Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed Cloudflare Pages housekeeping workflow to use correct API query parameter 'env' instead of 'environment' for deployment filtering.
  • Added comment about force=true parameter for deployment deletion API calls to handle aliased production deployments correctly.

Other Notes ​

  • Excluded discovery folder from VitePress source processing to keep work-in-progress content private.
  • Added social links for GitHub repository and LinkedIn profile.
  • Configured sidebar navigation structure for proto.labs and prompt.forge sections with overview pages.

v0.1.0 ​

Prelude ​

Initial setup of the VitePress documentation system with full automation for versioning, release management, and deployment. This release introduces a robust workflow for maintaining project documentation, ensuring that version information is always up-to-date and that old deployments are automatically cleaned up. The following notes detail the features, implementation, and supporting infrastructure.

New Features ​

  • Automated versioning using Taskfile.yml:
    • The Taskfile provides automatic version management, tagging, changelog, and release note generation for every build and release.
  • Version display and linking in documentation:
    • index.md now shows the current version and provides a direct link to the version details in the footer.
    • version.md is prepared to explain the automatic versioning process for future reference.
  • Continuous integration and deployment pipeline:
    • main.yml defines the GitHub Actions workflow for building, versioning, releasing, and deploying the documentation site.
  • Automated housekeeping for deployments:
    • cf-housekeeping.yml cleans up old Cloudflare deployments, keeping only the most recent production and preview builds.

Other Notes ​

  • Documentation and automation are designed for easy future extension. See version.md for details on how versioning is automated and how the workflow can be adapted for new requirements.
