AI essay, Trakt threading, Linear live
2026-04-13 ~ 2026-04-19
AI‑diary essay shipped (4/13)
I shipped the essay pushing back on “AI can’t write my diary for me,” using the compiler metaphor and added it as a product-tagged post (PR: https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/105). I also added science-backed essay topic seeds (nostalgia as painkiller, reminiscence therapy, diary as external memory) and split content-ideas into multiple files (PR: https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/106).
Trakt deep‑dive published (4/15)
I published a Trakt integration deep-dive covering OAuth 2.0, sync behavior, and how we thread TV binges into one diary item (PR: https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/116). I announced the Trakt auto-import threading on Bluesky (“six-episode binge lands as one thread”) and pushed the automatic-reflection angle — "The real upgrade is assembling your day's facts automatically first, then reflecting on what actually happened."
Linear integration pages live (4/19)
I shipped the Linear integration landing page across 42 locales (PR: https://github.com/deariary/lp/pull/199) and added the Developer Diary use-case page with the full integration story (PR: https://github.com/deariary/lp/pull/201), closing JRNL-784. I also wrote the changelog covering Linear + use-cases and changed the blog's default pubTime to 15:00 UTC so posts don't miss the deploy-day cutoff.
