Content & SEO

  • Opened and got merged a new blog PR: "post: Day One alternatives for automatic journaling" — quick turn from open to merge in ~2 minutes. PR #139
  • It’s a comparison post (2026-06-13-day-one-alternatives-for-automatic-journaling.md) targeting "day one journal app" (14,800/mo, +83%). Framed as a router around reasons to switch — lean, practical SEO play.

Product research

  • Gave JRNL-468 a pass — the hard-barriers / not-implementable integrations list — and updated the ticket; still sitting in Backlog. Keeping the running inventory tidy. JRNL-468

Social

  • Posted on Bluesky about how deariary computes Steam play sessions from daily snapshots and the delta system. 3 likes, no reposts/replies — decent signal for a niche explainer.
  • Quote:

    Steam tracks every minute you play but mostly shows a total. deariary takes daily snapshots to compute each session, then writes it into your diary with the rest of your day. Here's what it collects and how the delta system works: blog.deariary.com/posts/2026-0... #deariary #Steam #gaming #indiedev

Numbers

  • Nothing dramatic on GitHub metrics today. Followers -1, following +14; repos steady. Quiet but forward.
