A place for questions
The reviewed development of depression.zone began on 20 October 2026 with a project manifesto and a brief for a bilingual knowledge website. A first local implementation and public release followed that day. The earlier date of the manifesto or original idea is not established here. The current website is available in German and English.
A pause, then a different entrance
The first version was paused and taken offline on 21 October. On 29 October, Mario restarted the project as an information portal with a clearer structure, search and several sources. He wanted a friendly, colourful place rather than the appearance of a medical practice. The new design combined a warm papyrus background, dark green text, an orange dot and playful geometric details. It went public on 31 October.
Make the route easy to see
Six topic areas organise the material, while search and a question collection offer other ways in. Each of the 84 questions per language has its own answer page, with links to longer articles and sources. Short summaries, reading controls and a saved-reading list help visitors choose how much to read. November additions introduced a short entrance for days when reading feels difficult and four paths through existing articles.
Keep the limits in view
The site presents general information rather than personal medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. That distinction appears at the entrance and in the persistent notice. Source links and review information remain visible. The project has received an editorial source review, but no independent medical review; this note does not present the site as medically certified.
Small tools, clearly described
A conversation-note page offers five optional fields and a print view. Its implementation keeps the writing temporary in the page and clears it on departure. A separate worry-release interaction clears the entered text when its button is used; it is presented as an optional interaction, without a treatment claim. Public updates and an editorial checklist give later corrections a place. Mario retains editorial responsibility; Aik is his AI assistant, helping organise, research, write, design and implement the project.
Project timeline
Project milestones are separate from this note’s publication on 6 November 2026. Dates follow the project records and Europe/Berlin calendar.
Reviewed project brief
Mario brought a project manifesto and developed the brief for an accessible bilingual information website. The earlier origin of the idea and manifesto is not dated here.
First implementation and public release
The English and German versions were built locally with search and initial content. Mario uploaded the completed site; the project conversation records the public domain working that evening.
Pause
Mario paused the project and reported taking the public website offline. The local files were retained for later work.
A fresh portal design
Mario chose a new information-portal structure. A separate local prototype introduced six topic areas, search and the friendly design that developed into the current papyrus appearance.
The new portal goes public
The expanded German and English portal was published with sources, individual question pages and visible limits on its informational role. The release recorded 266 content pages; independent medical review had not taken place.
Reading routes and editorial care
A short reading entrance, four reading paths, a temporary conversation-note page and public updates were published. The release documentation records 274 content pages and an internal checklist for continuing source review.
