Accounts & access / 003
A front door of your own.
Google and GitHub sign-in are live, with a private workspace for each account.
What changed
- Added normal account creation and login with Google and GitHub, plus persistent sessions and sign-out.
- Gave each account its own private workspace, with server-side checks that keep one person’s workspace separate from another’s.
- Verified both real provider sign-ins on the live site, alongside tests for session expiry, forged credentials, and workspace isolation.
THE NEXT SMALL STEPMake the workspace useful: an interactive inbox with sample messages, project switching, and compose. Connected mail still comes later.
Design & direction / 002
A little more character. A much clearer direction.
A new identity, a closer look at the workspace we’re building, and the story behind Sprigpost.
What changed
- Created an envelope-and-sprig mark and a warmer, more expressive public website.
- Added an illustrative workspace preview, the founder story, and a roadmap that separates completed work from what comes next.
- Opened this build journal. The planned publishing rhythm is weekly, every Friday.
THE NEXT SMALL STEPBuild the first interactive mailbox prototype with sample messages, a project switcher, and a working compose flow.
