Commit Canvas
has a story too.

The Story Engine release. Eight themes you can switch live inside any story, story density control, the project pulse visualization, project archetypes (The Comeback, The Marathon…), jump-to-story milestone chips, and a "Made with Commit Canvas" signature on every page. The website gains a theme picker, a fact-checked comparison page, and the "Why Commit Canvas?" essay.

• Themes — midnight · neon · paper · terminal · aurora · blueprint · mono · sunset
• Pulse — the whole history as one heartbeat line
• Archetypes — every project gets an identity, with evidence
• Density — compact · standard · cinematic

Added

• Export studio — one dialog for every artifact: PNG cards (X/LinkedIn, square, 9:16, README banner), animated GIF of the time machine (custom pure-JS GIF89a encoder — no libraries, no fake buttons), WebM video, SVG timelines, README markdown, and the full story.html.
• Time machine v2 — milestone ticks on the timeline (releases, the moment, comebacks), jump-to-start/end, month stepping, playback speed (0.5×–2×), cinematic event cards, and a data-derived insight line.
• Light & dark card themes for all exports.
• A real website — journal (four essays), creator page with a live GitHub project wall, how-it-works, features, examples, changelog, privacy & terms, custom 404.
• SEO/AEO — sitemap, robots, canonical URLs, per-page metadata, JSON-LD (WebApplication, Person, Article, FAQ), FAQ with straight answers in HTML.

Added

• Story engine v2 — evidence-grounded chapters: The Beginning, The Sprint, The Silence, The Grind, The Launch, The Evolution.
• Time machine (v1), developer fingerprint, Roast my git, The Moment & Glow Up, share cards, certificate.
• Web version — analyze any public GitHub repo in the browser; same renderer as the CLI.
• Landing page with a real embedded Flask story; full-lifetime calendar + punch card.
• --json model export and --max-commits cap.

Fixed

• True zero dependencies — v1 claimed "only git + python3" but imported a template engine. v2 is stdlib-only, provably.
• Parser corrupted commit messages containing | (field separator collision). Now uses \x1f.
• Merge commits were discarded (--no-merges). Now kept and counted.
• One subprocess per tag → single for-each-ref.
• Heatmap anchored to today (old repos rendered empty) → full-lifetime calendar.
• File deletions misdetected from numstat → authoritative --summary create/delete tracking.

Added

• The original idea: one command, one cinematic HTML file — title reveal, monthly film strip, turning points, activity ring, contributor medals, proof-of-work certificate.
• Story arcs (Marathon, Climb, Sprint, Return), zero-account offline CLI, pip-installable.
