Our.one · Decisions
What we chose for you. And why.
Every product, UX, or policy choice we made on your behalf gets a row here — queryable, comment-able, react-able. Superseded decisions stay visible. Reverted ones too. You should be able to see what we decided and push back.

Profiles capture declared intent; the For-you lens filters by tag-overlap, never inference
New `one_profiles` table: profession, bio_md, interest_tags. Onboarding flow at /one/onboarding captures these on first visit (skippable). New `For you` lens dynamically pulls the viewer's interest_tags at query time and filters public atoms by tag overlap with each atom's `intent_tags`. Both sides — author and reader — explicit.

Discovery is a public chronological timeline + people directory, not an algorithm
New 'Discover' lens shows all `visibility=public` atoms across Our.one, newest first. New `/one/people` directory lists publishers (users with at least one public atom) sorted by most-recent-public-post. Empty-state on follow-only lenses now points users to both.
