AveryWebsite (also known after its URL name, avery.is-a.dev) is AveryEclipse’s personal website. It officially launched on 23 July 2024 as a complete rewrite unifying LynxWebsite and the Lynxmic Blog under a single codebase using fully plain HTML+CSS, coinciding with the Clyron-Lynxmic online identity split in the same day.

History

Version 1.x

For the first month, the website had a generic rudimentary design using the first Clyron branding’s color pallete (then known under the temporary name of “Sunn”/”Sunnville”) (v1.0).
Plans were for the website layout to eventually evolve into a Win2K-style design, which were essentially completed by late August 2024. This version of the website, then known as ClyronWebsite, is retroactively referred to as v1.1, which primarily served as a landing page with links to socials and projects with a blog in the website as well. It has been tested to work on ancient browsers as old as Internet Explorer 6.

Further updates were planned to improve the overall design, but they never happened and instead only small changes have been done updating the list of projects and socials as needed.

Version 2.x

This section is a stub and will be finished in Release Candidate 2.

In October 2024, plans were planted over for a complete rewrite of AveryWebsite (then known as ClyronWebsite), switching from Jekyll to Astro. The website layout was originally planned to remain as-is but it was decided later on that the website receives a complete redesign using Tailwind CSS.

The development of v2.0 took more than 3 months, mainly due to Avery’s lack of motivation and interest. An initial public beta released on 11 January 2025 with frequent rolling updates as the rewrite progressed.

v2.0 was finally finished almost a month later, on 9 February 2025, when it replaced v1.1. The final v2 release was v2.5.2 from 8 July 2025.

Version 3.x

Plans for a ClyronWebsite v3.0 trace back to May 2025, as AveryEclipse had been considering major changes that mandated a major version number bump, such as dropping Tailwind CSS and as a result regaining full control over the CSS, in order to build a Retro Frontend, mainly inspired from KitSixtyFour’s HoriWebsite.
Like with the HoriWebsite retro frontend, Avery wanted to build one using Microsoft FrontPage 2003, but plans later shifted to just building it on top of the existing Astro ClyronWebsite, to keep maintenence burden low.

Much of v3.0’s development happened in July 2025, immediately after v2.5.2’s release. The website has undergone a new major visual overhaul, nicely incorporating the design of the then-fairly-new KayAurora branding.

v3.0 was finished and released on 18 July 2025, with the website now known as KayWebsite. The Retro Frontend came later on 24 July 2025 with v3.1, extensively and thoroughly tested for compatibility with ancient browsers. v3.2, released 11 August 2025, primarily focused on fixes and refinements.

v3.3 from 14 September 2025 introduced a new color scheme to go with the then-new visual branding of KayAurora along with a bunch of fixes and improvements. The final v3 release is v3.3.1 from 7 October 2025 as AveryWebsite switched to a new version numbering scheme starting with the next version.

Version 25.x

AveryWebsite officially switched from the semantic versioning system (SemVer) to a date versioning system in a year-month-revision format (vYY.MM.R) on 30 October 2025, beginning with the release of v25.10 (originally planned to be released as v3.4). Additionally, the version would be automatically determined through CI/CD on GitHub every time AveryWebsite is built in production. The changelog page was also deprecated entirely in favor of the AveryWebsite version history KuroWiki article.

Later versions (v25.11, v25.11.1, v25.11.2, v25.12, v25.12.1 and v25.12.2) have all mostly focused on smaller changes, bug fixes and improvements. The final release was v25.12.2 from 28 December 2025.

Version 26.x

Per the year-month-revision versioning format introduced with v25.10, the major version number was bumped from v25 to v26 with the first AveryWebsite version release of 2026; v26.1 from 15 January.

v26.1 brought significant fixes and changes to the website that can be seen both in the modern and retro frontends, while v26.2 and v26.2.1 were smaller versions mainly updating information, fixing bugs from v26.1 and other small quality-of-life improvements.

The website has seen further major changes with v26.3, released 22 March 2026, coinciding with the KayAurora-AveryEclipse rebrand. At this point the website became to be called under its current name AveryWebsite rather than KayWebsite. This version was followed by a minor-ish v26.4 release on 9 April 2026, which has replaced FontAwesome with the astro-icon package, and then hours later by the much smaller v26.4.1.

v26.5, released 14 May 2026, further expanded on the rollout of astro-icon icons by replacing Unicode emojis in page and section headings, and marked the website’s transition from Astro v5 to v6. v26.5.1, released 26 May 2026, fixed a major bug with displaying blog post tags on mobile.

The website has been largely overhauled again with the release of v26.6 on 29 June 2026, which involved many structural changes, tech debt cleanups, and a fresh design. v26.6.1 immediatelly followed as a hotfix update fixing issues discovered with the v26.6 retro frontend.
