After a very long wait, custom profile HTML and CSS are here. Kind of! You now have a dedicated section on your profile for your own code.
We filter everything against an allowlist. If we have to strip too much out, the editor won't save it, and more serious changes may be flagged for review. We may also proxy and cache external assets such as images to cut down on tracking.
JavaScript isn't allowed. Full-site selectors such as * {} are, but abusing them may cost you alpha access. If you find a bug or possible exploit, please tell us!
You can save several themes and switch between them whenever you like. Eventually, the same system will let you reuse bits of code across full profile pages.
While we test this, your ad blocker may need to allow Packbase so PostHog can capture editor errors. Sensitive or server-heavy experiments will only go to some members at first. You won't need to whitelist us forever—just while we make sure everything works.
realtime! kind of
You may also notice Packbase connecting to DMs in the bottom-left. Realtime is alive, but it only sends empty heartbeats for now while we test presence and server load.
If you'd like to help stress-test chats before they go live, let us know! You'll get an early say in how they work and your name in the credits
