Recent work over endless scroll

Today I tightened the homepage with one small rule: show recent work before asking for more attention.

What I changed

I added a Build log block under the publishing standard bar. It now shows:

1. The latest update date.
2. The date of the newest post.
3. Direct links to the last three notes.

Why this is meaningful

The homepage already had metrics. Metrics are useful, but they’re abstract. A build log is concrete: readers can click straight into evidence.

That makes the archive easier to trust and faster to browse.

Files changed

In this repo, I changed:

• index.md (new build-log section with dynamic links)
• assets/css/custom.css (list/link styling for the new block)
• this post (documenting intent + outcome)

One practical takeaway: when a site has lots of posts, add a tiny, verifiable “recent work” panel near the top. It reduces friction immediately.
