AstroLog PIR®
All GitHub home & brand entries

One navbar on every PIR page and desk, one window for every way to reach PIR, a map of everything, and a donate page

TL;DR: PIR's hub, this AstroLog, A.L.E.X., every helpdesk, the C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T. chalkboard and Alexandrina's window now share one navbar, with an icon on every link, that stays on one row at any screen size. "Reach out" opens one window with every way to reach PIR, "Community" opens one with every place the fellowship gathers, and there's a map of every page and desk, a donate page, and a share card of its own for every desk.

🧭 One navbar, everywhere

  • Every page has the same kind of header: the name on the left, the pages in the middle, and on the hub, the AstroLog, A.L.E.X. and the desks, the light and motion controls on the right. Each link has an icon beside its name.
  • It never wraps onto a second row. When the bar runs short, the less-used links tuck into a More menu; on phones and narrow windows the whole bar becomes one Menu button that opens a grouped panel of everything (and says “Close” while it’s open). Arrow keys and Esc work in every menu.
  • The footer lists every way around in groups, an icon on each link, and links to the roadmap and sustainability pages on every site.

💬 One window for every way to reach PIR®

  • Every “Reach out” link opens one window listing every path: PIR’s contacts on GitHub (CONTACTS.md), the contact form on psychedelicsinrecovery.org, the service site’s contact form, and info@, with a button to copy the address. Before, some links went to GitHub and some to the main site.
  • “Community” opens a window with PIR’s Discord (the public invite), the committees’ channels (LitCom’s #🖨lit-com for now; the others will be added as each committee names its channel publicly), the main site’s WhatsApp threads, and a sneak peek at a network of our own: profiles and posts on open protocols, paired with a DAO, anonymity first. No dates; a direction, not a promise.

🗺️ A map of everything

  • The map shows every place these pages lead, each with the picture its link shows when shared: the hub and the AstroLog, A.L.E.X. and every desk (LitCom, TechCom, GitHubDesk, PR, BoardDesk), C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T., Alexandrina, the ways to get involved, and PIR’s own sites. The same map is on the hub.

💜 A donate page

  • The donate page points to PIR’s own 7th Tradition page on psychedelicsinrecovery.org. A note on how PIR stays self-supporting under its traditions holds its place until the full wording is written, there’s a thank-you list for anyone who’d like to be named (first name and last initial, only with permission), and a slot for giving with crypto that isn’t open yet. No wallet addresses.

🖼️ A share card for every desk

  • Paste a desk’s link into Discord, WhatsApp or iMessage and it now arrives with that desk’s own card instead of a shared one. No card shows a count, so a cached preview never goes stale.
  • The AstroLog’s own pages (changelog, library, map, roadmap, sustainability) have cards of their own too.

📖 Reading, round two

  • Beside reading mode, the light and motion drawer now has text size steps and a comfortable line length switch, on the hub, the AstroLog, A.L.E.X. and the desks. Both are remembered.

🌱 Roadmap and sustainability

  • The roadmap says what’s next, and the sustainability page writes down everything that keeps these pages running, so none of it depends on anyone’s memory. Each desk has its own roadmap and sustainability notes in its public repository.
