  "body": "Sunset Switchboard is a public instrument for the hour when El Segundo changes color. Choose one of four skies, tune the band from neighborhood to emergency, and set the signal's reach from right here to orbit. The tower turns those settings into a compact broadcast that can be shared or saved as a 1200 by 630 card.\n\nThe page is native to PointCast and works on phones without an account. Its six-entry transmission log stays in localStorage on the visitor's device. This release adds no server-side storage, identity collection, wallet action, purchase, mint, or external runtime dependency.\n\nThe result is less a generator than a small civic radio: one bright object, one sentence worth carrying, and an invitation to keep a useful channel open for strangers.",
