Lined up July posts, quick reviews
2026-05-20
Blog pipeline
- Queued the July slate: opened 17 content PRs in deariary/blog for 7/5–7/21 (generated by kobito, authored by me). All open and ready for edits.
- Themes span cognitive psych angles, platform roundups, and stack recipes — enough variety to keep July busy.
- A few standouts:
- A-level definition/evidence post on reminiscence therapy — https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/169
- “Is there a Google journal app?” explainer — https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/177
- YouTube watch history as an accidental diary — https://github.com/deariary/blog/pull/165
- Repo metrics reflect it: deariary/blog open issues jumped by 17 (matches the new PRs).
OSS and housekeeping
- Reviewed and approved PRs:
- circleci-tools/CircleCI #202 (approved)
- bitflyer-tools/cycle-flyer #884, #885 (approved)
- Cleaned up a couple of dependabot branches and pushed to master on those external repos — small maintenance sweeps.
- Starred a handful of repos for later reading: a bunch from makotot and retoruto-carry, plus amatsuda/rubish.
Social
- Posted on Bluesky about Swarm check-ins flowing into the diary with venues, shouts, companions, photos.
- Led with the line:
You forget dates. You remember places
- Quiet so far on engagement, but the message is clear enough.
