Builder's Notes

The Circus Found Its Poster

For a while, the website was still presenting Fleawinder: Living Circus like the old desktop strip: a row of acts above a taskbar, powered by everyday input. That is true history, and I am fond of it. But it is no longer the clearest picture of what the project is becoming.

The current build begins with a small illustrated place: a ring, workshops, paths, quiet corners, and room for another flea. That shift sounds cosmetic, but it changes the promise. The founding eight are not a fixed product catalogue. They are the people who welcome you into a world that can make room for someone new.

I brought the actual iPhone and Apple TV art onto the site rather than inventing a separate marketing look. The living grounds map and the habitats are game art. They show the version of Fleawinder: Living Circus I want to keep building: tactile, a little secret, warm at the edges, and large enough for a small history without pretending to be an empire.

This also clarified the release story. The next public chapter is the Apple circus on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Windows Classic and macOS remain free little archives of where the show started while the next desktop edition takes its time. The website should make that future visible at a glance.
