Linear pages live, essays stacked

Linear pages and planning
- Shipped the Linear integration landing page on the marketing site — copy across 42 locales and finally out of “coming soon” (PR #199). Closed out JRNL-784 alongside it.
- Added the Developer Diary use-case page with the full integration story arc (GitHub, Linear, Toggl, Slack, GCal) and a sample day narrative (PR #201).
- Nudged the post-MVP integrations priority list (JRNL-467) — keeping that score-based backlog fresh.
Blog and content
- Wrote and published a changelog covering the Linear integration and the two new use-case pages ([blog]). Also tightened a footgun: changed the blog’s default
pubTimeto 15:00 UTC to match the deploy cron so posts don’t miss the day cutoff. - Stacked essays:
- Automatic memory as a category manifesto — naming the space.
- An evidence piece on “you watched 100 movies” and how we actually remember them.
- A pillar “automatic journal manifesto,” seven theses-style (PR #128). Big tent for the concept.
Maintenance
- Reviewed and approved two PRs in github-weekly-reporter and cleaned up a stale dependabot branch. Light repo gardening, nothing fancy.
Comms
- Posted two Bluesky notes: one announcing the Linear integration + new use-cases, another on turning Google Calendar into a journal flow. Kept it straightforward with links.
- Liked a post that nails the thesis:
the 6-on / 6-off arc is painfully familiar... the 'open, think, write' ceremony feels heavy on a tired wednesday. the tools that survive are the ones that shrink the ritual, not the ones that add streaks and badges.
