Got ekatva.one live with a MapLibre map. First heartbeat.
Added the emotion input field — the "how are you feeling?" textbox that is the core interaction of Ekatva. Styled in Julius Sans One, all-caps, weight 300, sitting at the bottom center of the map.
Overhauled the type system. The inspiration came from the lettering carved into the Art Institute of Chicago building facade — the "INSTITVTE" engraving (classical V in place of U), Trajan-derived, wide proportions, subtle serifs. That became the reference point for the entire interface.
Three fonts, one system: Cinzel for the wordmark — closest free match to the stone lettering on the entryway. Julius Sans One as the UI default — same Roman inscription DNA, lighter, no serifs. Tiro Devanagari for the Sanskrit (एकत्व) — the only one in the set with proper Devanagari glyph support; Latin fonts simply don't cover the script.
Also started a Claude project to maintain context across Ekatva sessions. First commit pushed to the playground repo. Tomorrow: city autocomplete via GeoNames, and the post-submission map animation — zoom to user's city, pulsate, slow pull back to world view.
