This page is the public record of how Our.one is built. Every shipped change to the website, the constitution, the products under construction, and the supporting infrastructure lands here, in reverse chronological order, with the commit and the reasoning.
The repository is open at github.com/radosukala/our-one. Anyone can read the code that produces what you see. The build log connects each visible change to the commit that produced it.
The first entries are tightly clustered because Our.one launched this week and many shifts in direction landed in fast succession. The cadence will settle to roughly weekly once Our.one / Agora is in active development.
2026-04-23 — Hall named, Patron multiplier expanded to four tiers, naming convention codified
The governance platform formerly known as Agora is renamed Our.one / Hall. "Agora" was archaic — most readers wouldn't know it means a Greek public square. "Hall" is universally read as the place where governance happens (town hall) without needing explanation. Repo slug becomes Our-One/hall when that repo is created.
The Patron revenue-share multiplier expanded from three tiers to four: first 1,000 Patrons earn 4× weight, 1,001–10,000 earn 3×, 10,001–100,000 earn 2×, 100,001+ earn 1× until the tier closes. Why expand: Patron-led capital scales meaningfully (100,000 Patrons × $100 = $10M, comparable to a typical seed round) and the founder's ambition is hundreds of millions of users across a portfolio. The 4× early-believer signal is preserved (4× vs. 1× is the same relative advantage as the old 3× vs. 1×).
A product naming convention was added to Constitution §6: flagship products built internally use Our.one / [Common English Word] (Feed, Notes, Talk, Stream, Hall). Niche / domain products with meaningful Creator share may use independent names (PharmAI, TaxPilot CZ). Repository names always use lowercase product slug under the Our-One organization.
Constitution version bumped to 2.3. Updates landed in /constitution, /join, /homepage, and Patron-CTA copy. The next move is migrating to a clean Our-One/our-one repo where the constitution resets to v1.0 and this iteration history stays here as the archive.

2026-04-23 — Build Log opened
The first build-in-public commitment lands. Our.one promises a transparent ledger in the constitution; this is the first concrete instance of that promise. From now on, every meaningful shipped change to the public site (and, soon, every Agora ship) appears here within hours, with the commit hash and a short explanation of what changed and why.
This entry itself is the demonstration: a public page, named in the navigation, generated from a markdown file in the open-source repo. No infrastructure required. The convention scales when Agora's structured shipping log opens later.

2026-04-22 — Patron multiplier + role simplification
The flagship default revenue split was simplified from six revenue-sharing roles down to four (plus the Commons pool and the Our.one Fee). The Recruiter role was folded into Ambassador — they're doing the same thing from two angles, and the merger keeps the brand cleaner. Curator, Localizer, and Product Operator were dropped from the default template; products that genuinely need them can declare them per-product. Operators are now paid from the Our.one Fee as employees of the parent company, removing the conflict where operators would otherwise vote on their own product-level slices.
The new flagship default: Users 40% / Ambassadors 25% / Patrons 15% / Commons 10% / Our.one Fee 10%.
A Patron revenue-share multiplier was added — first 1,000 Patrons earn 3× weight in the Patron pool forever, positions 1,001–10,000 earn 2×, after that 1× until the tier closes. This makes early-Patron economics quantitatively meaningful: at scale, Patron #17 earns ~$865/year compounding on a one-time $100 payment, indefinitely.
Constitution version bumped to 2.2. The new Commons pool (10% of every product, distributed annually to all active Members across the portfolio) was added — cross-product solidarity without distorting per-product economics.

2026-04-22 — Reframe: Agora + community-voted flagship
The "first two products" framing on the homepage and /join was replaced. Previously: "Our.one / Forum + a B2B product." Now: "Our.one / Agora (governance platform) + the first flagship, chosen by community vote when Agora opens." This is the meaningful shift: the building of Our.one's products is itself the thing members are joining to do, not a wait for products to ship.
A new Constitution §6 ("Default product shapes") was added with the flagship-vs-niche template distinction. The "one flagship per category" rule was codified — no internal competing clones inside the Our.one portfolio.

2026-04-22 — Patron benefits expanded
Founding Patrons now receive nine concrete benefits, not five. New additions: a signed Founding Patron certificate (PDF, unique serial number, delivered when Stripe ships), public listing on the Founders page, a private monthly letter from the founder, a Patron-only section in Agora, and 2× vote weight in framework-level constitutional amendments.
The /founders page itself was added — a public record of every Founding Patron, currently showing the live preorder count. Names appear there when payment rails are live and Patrons opt-in at checkout. The footer was redesigned to remove dead links from the prior expert-platform incarnation and add the Founders link as a separate "The record" column.

2026-04-22 — Our.one Fee fixed at flat 10%
The original "starts at 10%, capped at 15%" framing on the fee was confusing — readers did the math and landed on "actually only 85% to humans in the worst case." The fee is now a flat 10% across all products, raisable only by supermajority vote of all non-Operator members. No hardcoded ceiling — the amendment process itself is the ceiling.
Updated in five places (homepage, manifesto, join, constitution sections 4 and 7) to keep one number across the entire site.

2026-04-22 — Homepage redesign: editorial layout
The original homepage rendered from the same article template as every content page — a beige hero strip plus prose. It read like a draft in a wiki. Replaced with a dedicated React component breaking the article template: a full-viewport hero with the thesis in display type, the Inversion section with 0% and 90% in massive numbers, the Proof strip naming the four companies that built revenue-share at scale (YouTube, Substack, Shopify Partners, Amazon Associates), the Constitution preview in a dark section, the role grid, the In Build product placeholders, the founder signature with photo, and a final waitlist form.
Reference aesthetic: Stripe Press, Every.to, The Paris Review. Editorial weight, not product polish.

2026-04-22 — Initial commit, Our.one as parent company
The new repository at github.com/radosukala/our-one launched. Brand identity (Bitter + IBM Plex Sans, logo, color palette) and core infrastructure (Auth.js, Drizzle + Neon, content loader, i18n) carried over from the prior expert-platform prototype at github.com/radosukala/ourone. Everything else is greenfield.
Constitution v2.0 published with the first 11 commitments. Manifesto, /join, /founders all live. Stripe and Resend configured but checkout flow is deliberately deferred — Patrons preorder by email until the first paid product is closer to shipping.

This log is updated as soon as work ships. The repository is open: github.com/radosukala/our-one.
