History

Source-backed history from the creator’s own pages and posts: when each work was announced, published or updated. Collection additions are kept separate, because they record our curation, not the creator’s release date.

Announced is the date of the creator’s own post about a work. Published and updated come from the creator’s own page. Each entry links its source.

No source-dated history yet.

We list a date only when the creator’s own page or post gives one.
