Updates
The good that's been added here — the latest improvements first. For everyone who comes back.
last updated:
-
For everyone who keeps this place as an app on their home screen: there's now a small back arrow in the top left. The browser doesn't need it — it has its own back button; the app was missing one.
-
The greeting on the home page — "It's all right" — now breathes quietly: as your cursor comes closer, it widens by a hair, like an in-breath, and grows still again as you move away. Just a small sign of life.
-
There are more voices waiting in "Words" now: eight new quotes have arrived — from Václav Havel and Rabindranath Tagore to Etty Hillesum, Pema Chödrön and Leonard Cohen. Words that have looked at the hard things and carry, even so.
-
On the home page, beneath the greeting, there's now a quiet line about what this place means — and what it doesn't: "Not to forget the world. But to be able to meet it again." Because "It's all right" is not a looking-away, but a foothold from which you can look.
-
"Pass it on", on the "Give" page, has grown quieter: you now wish someone well in your own words — and what you pass on stays with you as a soft, fading trace you can re-read or let go of anytime. If you like, you can send your wish on with a tap; the site itself sends nothing.
-
Three more languages have arrived: Chinese, Hindi and Urdu. The site now speaks fourteen languages — and with Urdu, for the first time, one that's written right to left.
-
In the language menu, hovering over a language now shows its name in your own — for the curious, who'd like to know what hides behind an unfamiliar script.
-
it's all right can now be installed like an app on your phone — and is there for you offline, too. Once you've opened your language, its places stay reachable without a connection: Breathe, Anchor, Listen, Words and Give, wherever you go.
-
At the foot of "Words" you can now add a word of your own — a line that carries you. It stays with you until you send it to us; what fits quietly joins the collection, beside the other voices. With your name or without, that's yours to choose.
-
A new, quiet page "In good company": for anyone whose head likes to see sources — seven very different voices, from attachment research to Camus, meeting at a single point: that firm ground opens the eyes rather than closing them. Tucked away at the foot of "Why this carries"; if you don't need it, you miss nothing.
-
it's all right now has its own, fitting home: its-all-right.org — a neutral, non-commercial address that suits a quiet place like this. The old .de address gently redirects there.
-
A new overview map (the little constellation, top right): from anywhere you can now see all the places at a glance — and find your way back. On phones, as a calm, tappable list.
-
New page "Why this carries": the thinking behind the places — not a lecture, but an invitation to tend the good in your own life.
-
Portuguese was added — in both forms: European (Portugal) and Brazilian Portuguese. The site now speaks eleven languages.
-
Marshallese as the ninth language — deliberately also a small, climate-threatened language. A careful first translation (with a clear note and a request for help).
-
Ukrainian was added — and checked by a native speaker. The iconic "Все буде добре" carries the site.
-
The site now speaks more languages: Spanish, French, Polish, Italian and Japanese.
-
its-all-right is here — five quiet places: Breathe, Anchor, Listen, Words and Give.
