Pulse Refinement

Why we did this

Pulses were flat white lines that blinked on and off, with no sense of which way the traffic went.

What happened

Each pulse is now a bright head with a fading tail, travelling from sender to destination. The destination flashes when it lands, and pulses stay attached when dots move.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

We decided

qflow-c6-D1 Drop the textured ribbon trail, which failed to render, and draw the trail as line segments that brighten toward the head. — Mark Parson

So now
