##New feature on Ascend

Today's headline is for anyone using Ascend to break a hard habit: the new Recovery Timeline answers the question that keeps people going — "what have my clean days actually done for me?" Tap the new 📈 button on any habit you're quitting and you'll watch research-grounded milestones unlock as your streak grows — from the first 72 hours when cravings tend to peak, to the two-week mark when your brain's reward system starts rebalancing, to 90 days and beyond. If the habit you're breaking is smoking or drinking, the timeline layers in body-specific milestones drawn from public-health guidance — like how heart rate and circulation recover after quitting nicotine, or how the liver begins to repair after a month without alcohol. Every milestone is sourced, and the whole thing is framed as general encouragement, not medical advice. The goal is simple: make the invisible progress of recovery visible, so a quiet streak feels like the real achievement it is.

##Security

Over on WikiHole, we made the site much easier to find and share — real page titles, a proper description, and social preview cards so a link actually looks like something when you post it — and we added clear attribution crediting Wikipedia under its CC BY-SA license, because the knowledge that powers all those rabbit holes deserves the credit. Behind the scenes, we spent a good chunk of the day on security and dependency hardening across the platform: patching the web framework that runs the main site and updating libraries with known vulnerabilities in Ascend and GeoIntel, so the things you rely on stay safe and current. Not every day's work is flashy — but the boring, careful days are the ones that keep everything else standing. More soon.
