Draper changelog

The page behind the meeting used to jump in, whole blocks at a time, behind a blur. Now each piece fades in over a few seconds and the layer keeps slowly breathing between beats, so it feels like it's coming together while you talk. It's still the template behind there for now, and I haven't tuned it by hand yet.

In the Draper demo the page used to stay empty for about 21 seconds, so it really felt like nothing was happening. Now the first shape shows up behind the conversation as the founder stops talking, about 7 seconds in. It's still faint at that point, just a logo and a blurred panel, but you can see something coming.

During the meeting, the page Draper is building now shows clearly behind the conversation and sharpens with every beat you earn, instead of staying a pale blur until the reveal.

The page behind the meeting now shows its first section after the very first thing you tell Draper, and the other sections are written side by side instead of one after another. In my text bench the first shape dropped from about ten seconds to four. It's still not fast enough, so that's next.

If you reload the tab halfway through a meeting with Draper, it picks up where you left off - the beats you earned are still there. And a page that's already revealed stays revealed after a reload.

The pages Draper builds looked like wireframes, honestly. Now every section shares one look built from the brand colour - a proper hero, side-by-side problem and objection, a big quote, a coloured call to action. I pulled one card from React Bits with a soft light that follows your cursor. Real images are still a placeholder.

Draper used to ask its question, pause, and then ask it again, as if you'd wandered off. Now it only talks, and a separate note-taker listens in the background and keeps track of your story. In my text tests, every founder now reaches their page, and Draper's replies are shorter.

The demo meeting started with its own line, different from what the voice agent says. Now it reads the same first message, so the demo and the real thing can't drift apart.

I now test Draper's interview in plain text against simulated founders before any voice is involved. That showed it was sending people away without a page, so Draper now accepts a concrete, honest answer, keeps its replies short and stops saying it's taking notes. In the text tests, twice as many founders now reach their page.

Draper finally has its own address - trydraper.si. For now it runs the scripted demo meeting, not real voice, since I still have to decide who gets to talk to it. But it's up, and every merge goes live on its own.

Draper used to just sit there until you said something. Now it opens with "Hey, what should I help you with?" and tells you the page builds behind it while you talk. It also answers first and takes its notes after, so the gap after you finish speaking is about a second shorter in my tests - still not as snappy as I want, honestly.

The glow behind the lobby was painting over the heading and the start button, so you basically couldn't read the first screen. It sits behind the text now.

The meeting opens as one big full-screen visual instead of just the orb. When you talk, blue waves run across the screen with your voice, and when Draper talks, warm ripples come out of the orb. It feels a lot more alive, honestly.

Draper has a home now. You sit down for a meeting with a pushy interviewer who doesn't let you through until your story actually holds up, and the landing page builds in the background and only gets revealed once you've earned it. Right now it's a demo meeting with draft copy - the real voice agent comes next.
