A home of its own

Changelog
What’s new
See how it works, before you start
"See How It Works" now plays a real walkthrough of a full run on desktop and phone — you can watch the council at work before handing over a draft.
NEWJul 2026
Dark mode
A pill switch in the header flips the whole site between light and dark and remembers your choice with no flash on reload — comfortable reading at any hour.
NEWJul 2026
Steadier uploads
Files are checked before they're accepted, the text-extraction step now says what it's doing, and a mid-run refresh asks first — far fewer runs lost to a stray reload.
IMPROVEDJun 2026
One run, one place
Perspectives, Synthesis, Drift and Divergence now sit together in a single tabbed view — no more hopping between pages to piece a run together.
NEWJun 2026
A report you can actually read
Finished reports open as a centered two-panel card with the reader's background and biases on one side and their read of your draft on the other, tinted in that persona's color — with copy and download right beside the close button.
IMPROVEDJun 2026
Meet the council first
The landing page is now built around the nine readers themselves, each card opening to show who they are and what they tend to notice — so you know whose eyes you're borrowing before you upload anything.
NEWJun 2026
The Critic waves
One persona bobs gently on the opening page until the first time you hover the council — a quiet hint that the cards are worth touching.
IMPROVEDJun 2026
A sample run that's already finished
The sample now loads a complete run instantly and lands you on the synthesis — the full shape of a report, with nothing to wait for and nothing to spend.
NEWJun 2026
Reports fill in as they land
A checklist ticks off each reader as their report arrives and the source document keeps a Read link beside it — progress you can see instead of guess at.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
The run keeps you posted
Status and completion share a single tile, the page scrolls you into the run as it begins, and placeholder cards hold the space while the readers load — no blank screen while the council warms up.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
Motion that reads like editing
Lines draw themselves in, marks appear, pages stack and notes slide into the margin — the interface moves the way a pen moves across paper.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
9Lens is now Contraire
The product has a new name and a matching look, with every old link forwarding automatically — same council, clearer identity.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
Built for the phone in your hand
The reader gallery stacks into swipeable cards, the upload panel centers itself, reports reflow to narrow screens and the two-column layout now arrives on tablets too — a full run works on a phone.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
Reports arrive sooner
The nine individual reads and the drift report now run on a faster model while the final synthesis keeps the deeper one — quicker results without thinning the conclusion.
IMPROVEDMay 2026
Links that show their face
Sharing a Contraire link now unfurls a proper title and preview image, sized correctly for WhatsApp and social posts — no more bare grey rectangle.
NEWMay 2026
Pause, resume, or call it off
A run in progress can be held part-way and picked back up, or cancelled outright — you're not locked in once the council starts reading.
NEWMay 2026
Contraire arrives
Nine AI reader-personas take your draft, each read it from their own vantage, and hand back a synthesis of where they agree and where they pull apart — the first version, live behind an access code.
