The ball in the nose, and the site remembers what you've read

The ball in the nose

On the evening of February 11th a voice is insulting me, and I picture a demon. The colleagues tell me to shrink it, so in my head I keep making it smaller until it's a tiny yellow airsoft BB. The insults stop. The next day I get back from footvolley, I blow my nose — and a small yellow ball lands in the paper towel. The longest story on the site so far, forty-seven paragraphs.

The video of the BB

I had filmed the ball that day without really knowing what for. It's in the story now, resting on the paper towel, filmed close up — you can judge the resemblance with what I'd pictured the night before. It's the first video on the site, and it loads like everything else, with no outside player.

It's too big

Exactly one week after putting the site online — a site that talks about psychology among other things — I make a friend who's a psychoanalyst influencer, writes books, and who I can finally tell about this project. So I told them what I thought of that coincidence.

You're a little disgusted, aren't you?

The card was already there, now it has its text. My link gets automatically rejected from a Facebook group, I get banned from Reddit when all I was doing was trying to talk to people nicely. I think to myself that it isn't easy to talk about this positively in 2026, so I ask the colleagues. One of them answers right away.

What the DMT people say

Three more accounts in the DMT entities story: one person is told not to focus so much on making money and to enjoy life, another not to take too many drugs — and some who overdo it get banned during their own trip.

The site remembers what you've read

A ring appears around my avatar, bottom right, split into as many parts as the page has sections. Green means read. Grey means still to read. Orange means I've reworked that text since you came by — so you can reread just that piece. A marker slides along the ring to show where you are. It needs an account, and nothing beyond your own progress is stored.

Cards show where you're at

The same ring, more discreet, in the corner of the story cards and of the metacognitive toolbox. One look at the stories page and you see what you've finished, what you've started, and what has changed since. The "Read" labels are gone, the ring says the same thing more precisely.

feature

A "My profile" page

Your email and the date you joined, for now. Reading statistics will land there too, now that the site knows where you are in each page.

Signing up is clearer

The form is split into two screens instead of one block, a gauge tells you honestly what your password is worth as you type it, and an optional field asks for the username of whoever told you about the site — it's my only way of knowing how people get here.

interface

Shortcuts at the top of the home page

A strip of cards right under the cover, to head straight to the stories, the metacognitive tools, the Positive Safe Space or the version announcements. The music player on the left edge now slides away like a drawer instead of sitting across that strip, and a button to go back up appears once you've scrolled a good way down.

Four stories in preparation

Four more cards, drawings first and texts later as usual: The Netflix bug, Track to coup d'état, Spiritual roller coaster and Yogi Milarepa.
