- New section: Writing. First post, The gray that looked fine, on how the site's secondary text color failed a contrast check and why the usual safe gray stops being safe on an off-white background.

- The site now has a domain, aiqiao.net, served over HTTPS. Old addresses redirect to it.

- The site is now in English. The word counter was translated and its reading time estimate now handles mixed Chinese and English text.
- New tool: a color contrast checker that tests a text and background pair against WCAG 2 AA and AAA.
- Running the site's own colors through it showed the gray used for secondary text was at 4.25:1 on the light background, below the 4.5 needed for small text. Darkened it to 5.06:1.

- The home page is now generated by a script from a separate public log source, rebuilt after each session.
