Version 0.14
Its own address
July 29, 2026
Added
- Indigene has a proper little sprout icon in your browser tab now, instead of the blank page symbol every site gets when it hasn't been given one.
- Posting an Indigene link somewhere — a message, a group chat, a social post — now shows a proper preview card with the name, a line about the app, and the sprout, rather than a bare address. For now every link shows the same card.
Changed
- Indigene has its own address now: indigene.app. Older links to
olivierlacan.github.io/indigenestill work — they forward to the new one — and everything you saved stays where it is on your device. - The region cards on Meet the natives no longer carry a "USDA 6b–7a" badge. On a page whose only job is "pick where you live", it answered a question nobody had asked yet. It's still on every region's own page.
- Mistyping an Indigene address used to quietly drop you on the front page, as though that's where you'd meant to go. There's now a real "We couldn't find that page" page that says what happened and offers three ways back in.
- The app's icon had square corners with a faint ghost of a curve near them — a rounding that was drawn but never cut out. The corners are round now, in the tab and on your home screen.
Fixed
- The first pages published at indigene.app arrived as a bare list of blue links, with no colours or layout: the page was asking for its styles at the old address, one folder deeper. It looks and works the way it always has again.
- Sharing a plant's own web address, like indigene.app/plants/quercus-alba, works again on the new domain. Those addresses are handed back to the app on arrival, and the hand-off still assumed the old site.
