First generation website. Same sorter.

This is the old Sort Moments website look. Not the old app. The sorter still does the same useful thing: point it at photos, group faces locally, get ordinary folders back. The page got replaced because the page was trying too hard.

What it was

The first site explained the idea: choose a folder, group matching faces, rename the people, keep normal folders. That part still works.

The problem was the outfit. Too much glow. Too many sections acting important. A homepage with the confidence of a launch deck and the restraint of a RGB keyboard.

Why the look was retired

The app did not need a funeral. The website needed a shower.

The new version is quieter: obsidian palette, clearer privacy, real counts, fewer boxes pretending to be strategy. Same product promise. Less homepage theatre.

What stayed the same

Local by default. No signup wall. No cloud middleman. Windows and macOS downloads still point to GitHub Releases. CLI stays available. Python API stays locked until the package is real.

Same Sort Moments. Better clothes. The old clothes are below, preserved for accountability and mild embarrassment.

What it looked like

the old outfit. not evil. just a first draft with a domain name.
