AURENYX is developed with substantial AI/agent assistance. The design system, requirements, review criteria, QA gates and release decisions are human-directed, while parts of the implementation would require me to inspect and study the code before I could explain them in detail.

AURENYX 1.1 — Cognitive Cartography for Obsidian

See the conflict. Keep the agency.

AURENYX is a restrained dark/light Obsidian theme built around structured
complexity, semantic color, visible tension, and explicit human agency.

The idea is simple: preserve native Obsidian behavior wherever possible,
while using structure and color deliberately to make complex information
easier to reason about.

What’s new in 1.1

Native Obsidian Bases integration

  • Table, card and list views
  • Native grouping, filtering, sorting and editing behavior preserved
  • AURENYX-consistent focus treatment in dark and light modes
  • Minimal intervention rather than a separate database UI

Responsive and mobile-aware hardening

  • Improved readability and contrast in narrow layouts
  • Improved mobile-dark navigation, placeholder and destructive-action contrast
  • Native modal, scrolling and interaction behavior preserved
  • Responsive testing down to 320 CSS px without a breakpoint-heavy redesign

AURENYX also includes semantic callouts for strategy, protection, empathy,
shadow, evidence, conflict, synthesis, dissent and human decisions.

The goal is not to turn every note into a colorful dashboard. Most of the
interface intentionally remains neutral, while color is reserved for
information that carries semantic meaning.

Feedback is especially useful around Bases edge cases, readability in dense
notes, narrow/mobile layouts, and anything where AURENYX interferes with
native Obsidian behavior.
