-        <p>I'm working on <strong><a href="https://noto.fedl.site" target="_blank" style="color:var(--accent);">Noto</a></strong> — a note-taking app with AI built in. Cross-platform (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux), built with Flutter, powered by Cortex AI.</p>
+        <p>My main project right now is <strong><a href="https://vanilla.milesallen.site/" target="_blank" style="color:var(--accent);">Vanilla</a></strong> — a clean, minimal web experiment built with pure vanilla JS. No frameworks, no libraries, no cruft. Just the raw web, done right.</p>
-        <p>The AI isn't a gimmick — it's actually useful. Summarize a page of notes in one tap. Transcribe voice memos automatically. Quiz yourself on what you wrote. Chat with your notes like they're a second brain. Cloud (OpenAI) or local (Ollama), your choice. No subscription nonsense.</p>
+        <p>It's still unreleased but active — I keep adding features and polishing it. The whole point is proving you don't need a framework to make something that feels good.</p>
 
         <h2>Building Gelectron</h2>
         <p>My side project is <strong><a href="https://gelectron.milesallen.site/" target="_blank" style="color:var(--accent);">Gelectron</a></strong> — a drop-in replacement for Electron that uses native web views (WKWebView / WebView2 / WebKitGTK) instead of bundling Chromium. No 150MB+ binaries. No 300MB of RAM just to show a window. Just your app, running on the OS-native renderer.</p>

         <h2>Maintaining the FEDL</h2>
         <p>The <strong><a href="https://fedl.site" target="_blank" style="color:var(--accent);">Geometry Dash demon list</a></strong> is still going strong. Nearly 4,000 verified runs, 340+ ranked levels, and a community that keeps me busy. I'm working on better moderation tools and a cleaner submission pipeline.</p>
 
+        <h2>Back Burner</h2>
+        <p><strong><a href="https://noto.fedl.site" target="_blank" style="color:var(--accent);">Noto</a></strong> — the AI note-taking app — is on the back burner for now. It still exists and still works, but Vanilla has my attention. It'll come back around when the time is right.</p>

         <h2>This Site</h2>
         <p>I've been putting a lot of time into milesallen.site — the portfolio you're on right now. I keep adding features, fixing things, and rewriting parts of it. It's my digital home and I want it to be good.</p>
