What's changed, plainly stated. This is a one-person project, so updates happen whenever they happen — no schedule, no fanfare.
A few people have asked who's behind this. Fair question — and the honest answer is: one person, and I'd rather not say who.
Not because there's anything to hide. It's the opposite, really. I didn't want this to be about me — a face, a brand, a following. The whole point of Eve is that it doesn't matter who you are or who's listening; it's just there. Putting my own name and story front and centre felt like it would work against that. It would turn "here's something quiet you can use" into "here's a person you should trust because of who they are" — and I'd rather you trust it because it does what it says, not because of me.
I'm not a company, not a startup, not chasing anything. Just someone who's had plenty of quiet moments that could have used a steady, undemanding voice, and who had the time and the stubbornness to go and build one. That's genuinely the whole story. I'd rather stay out of the way of it.
A new page with gentle, non-professional tips for the quiet moment after an argument, plus a short list of real, currently-active organisations if you need more than a tip. Linked from the FAQ and the main navigation.
Eve's spoken voice was defaulting to a robotic male voice on some browsers. It now actively looks for a calmer voice on your device instead of just taking whatever the browser hands it by default.
Eve used to sit behind a private passphrase while this was still being tested. That's gone now — the whole point is "open the page and talk," so it shouldn't have a lock on the door. A daily message limit per device does the job of keeping things sustainable instead.
Eve moved off a raw Vercel address and onto its own domain, with a proper landing page in front of it, email forwarding set up, and a Facebook page and Buy Me a Coffee page to go with it.
The first working version: talk by voice or text, no account needed, calm and low-key by design. Built from scratch as a small, free companion for the in-between moments.
