  • Your own data sent to a stream, or posts written by hand in a post list, drawn in every shape and language your channels publish in.

Variants​

A variant is this template drawn another way, and it comes in versions: immutable builds, the newest first. A channel follows the newest version of its variant, unless it is pinned to one.
