Too many projects, too many ideas, too few hours — one learning a day anyway

Dev diary — 2026-08-17

I’d said it twice: the posts are too big and nobody will read them — and the corpus backed me up. So The Cloudy Brain got a spine: word caps that fail the build instead of shrugging. The rules moved out of chat and into the repo, because three separate rots had reached the live site while the standard lived only in a conversation. cityheatmap took the first hit — a 661-word dossier cut to 190 — and the site link I’d claimed rendered was being silently stripped by the schema. It never worked. The projects schema now has a real site field.

The other big push was the club app, and it produced no code at all on purpose. A day of design instead: thirteen domains, eighty requirements, three hundred-odd testable acceptance criteria, plus the decision that everything a person creates is one posting type so the editor follows the declaration. The stated reason is the trip app, which fit one trip and then grew by budding.

Elsewhere: the Maracaibo dashboard gauges wind up to their readings again — my suspected culprit was innocent — plus small passes on Foreman, which now keeps a sleeping Mac from orphaning its runs, Havnetryk, Maracaibo, event-agenda and a busy day in the ideas repo.

Tonight the site enforces its own brevity, and the club app has a specification a stranger could build from.
