Publishing
- Shipped two posts:
- your mood journal, without the mood button (targeting “mood app journal”)
- The developer diary stack: GitHub, Slack, Todoist, Toggl (targeting “developer journal”)
- Spun up 14 automated draft PRs with kobito to load the pipeline. Buckets:
- Stacks/recipes: gamer, indie hacker, remote worker, work diary, weekend diary.
- Integration/how-to: Discord chat export (Discord is live), Todoist completed tasks (Todoist is live), Plex via Trakt scrobble (Trakt is live; no native Plex), reading log via webhook, WhatsApp chat diary via Twilio/WhatsApp Business.
- SEO pieces: Daygram vs deariary, Grid Diary vs deariary, Best free journal apps in 2026, Best iPad journal app.
- Framing notes baked into the briefs to avoid overpromising:
Frame as a webhook recipe, not a native … / Do not imply a native Plex integration.
- The blog backlog ballooned (open issues +13) — plenty to edit and publish.
Distribution
- Posted on Bluesky about brain dumps vs diaries. The core line:
A brain dump empties your head. A diary fills your record.
- Light engagement (1 like), but it says what I wanted to say and points to the blog.
Notes
- Followed 9 more accounts on GitHub. Otherwise metrics were steady.
