Mood-journal draft and a duplicate-data bug
2026-05-06
Writing and content
- Opened a new blog PR: post: your mood journal, without the mood button. Targeting the SEO query “mood app journal” (3,600/mo, +1977% YoY). Angle is to surface the day’s dominant feeling from the user’s own words — no mood button.
- Posted a reflection on Bluesky that ties into the theme:
The days you accomplished the most are the ones you remember the least.
Busy days fragment attention so no event gets deep enough to stick.
The paradox: those same days generate the most data in your tools.
Triage and bugs
- Filed JRNL-815 (Backlog, bug, area: integration): when a user ends up with multiple active connections to the same integration (observed on Trakt), Extract emits duplicate data and enrichment highlights also duplicate.
- Noted a concrete repro in the writeup: two identical
moviesblocks for the same account “Yuji Ueki,” including the sametraktId: 977940(“侵入者たちの晩餐”).
Reviews and cleanup
- Reviewed and approved 5 PRs across external tools (cycle-flyer, DroidFlyer, Norimaki).
- Did some housekeeping: deleted a few stale Dependabot branches and pushed to
masteron those repos.
Signals
- deariary/github-weekly-reporter picked up +1 star (now 23).
- +5 GitHub followers (now 3,543); following +12.
