Real Doors, Your Own Modules, and Signing In Without a Password

Three new things to try: a door that actually looks like a door and doesn't need a wall built around it, a way to write and host your own module right from the site with nowhere else to put it, and a second way to sign in that needs no password at all.

A door that actually looks like a door

Doors used to only exist as part of a wall — a dashed line cut into it, standing in for an opening. It worked, but it never really read as a door. There's a real symbol for one now: a quarter-circle swing arc sweeping out from the hinge, the same convention an actual floor plan uses.

And a door no longer needs a wall to live in. It's its own element now — pick its hinge point, which way it swings, and how wide it opens, and drop it anywhere:

  • element door { shape: "doorSwing" position: [2, 0] rotation: 90 width: 0.9 swing: "right" }

The version built into a wall (compose: "wallWithDoor") still works exactly as before and now draws the same real arc — this is a second, simpler way to place one on its own, not a replacement.

Write and host your own module, right here

A module is how Planagonia gets taught anything new — a shape, an interaction, a whole new way of reading a plan. Writing one has always been possible; hosting it anywhere reachable from a URL was the part you had to solve yourself.

Now you don't. Sign in, open Your modules, and paste your JavaScript into a small editor right there — you get back a stable URL you can declare in any plan with module "your-url-here", the exact same way every other module already loads. No separate hosting, no account anywhere else.

A second way to sign in, no password needed

Signing in has always meant typing a password. There's now a second option, sitting right next to it: Sign in via email. Click it, enter your email, and a link arrives that signs you straight in — nothing to type, nothing to remember, nothing to lose.

The password option isn't going anywhere — for a tool you come back to in the same sitting, a saved password is still the faster path, and your browser can now offer to remember it again. This is simply a second door into the same place, for whenever you'd rather not use the first one.

Want to try any of this? Open the app, or sign in over at your account — everything above is already live, no update needed on your end.

A drawing detail, a building block for anyone extending the app, and a smaller everyday friction removed — three different kinds of progress, all shipped together.
