Work log: Textorium — March 13, 2026

What shipped today

No code shipped today. This was a context-recovery session — /start ran to assess the board after yesterday’s big push (5 issues, 5 PRs). The codebase is stable, the marketing site is production-ready, and the issue queue is nearly empty.

The session confirmed that #13 (dynamic email signature with latest blog post) is the sole remaining v1.5 issue. It was previously blocked on the blog section existing, which shipped on March 12. It’s now labeled needs-clarification — the requirements reference polymathic-h GH-2 and need to be resolved before implementation can begin.

Completed

(None — context recovery only)

Release progress

v1.5: 17 closed / 1 open. #13 is the last item.

Carry-over

  • #13 — Dynamic email signature with latest blog post. needs-clarification. Requirements live partially in polymathic-h GH-2. Needs triage before prep.

Risks

  • None. Board is stable, no active development in flight.

Flags and watch-outs

  • Parse warning tooltip (shipped yesterday as #45) uses .help() — no iPadOS equivalent. Future consideration, not urgent.
  • Dark mode is prefers-color-scheme auto-only. No manual toggle. Intentional.
  • The marketing site hasn’t had a visual QA pass in production yet — dark mode, 404, SEO tags, and blog section all shipped yesterday without a browser check.

Next session

  1. Triage #13 — read polymathic-h GH-2 for requirements, clarify scope, then /issue prep 13 and /issue exec 13.
  2. Once #13 ships, /milestone close v1.5.
  3. Visual QA of textorium.app in production — check dark mode, 404 page, OG tags, blog section, keyboard focus styles.
  4. Run /scout to fill the backlog — the board will be empty after v1.5 closes.

Why customer tools are organized wrong

This article reveals a fundamental flaw in how customer support tools are designed—organizing by interaction type instead of by customer—and explains why this fragmentation wastes time and obscures the full picture you need to help users effectively.

Infrastructure shapes thought

The tools you build determine what kinds of thinking become possible. On infrastructure, friction, and building deliberately for thought rather than just throughput.

Server-side dashboard architecture: Why moving data fetching off the browser changes everything

How choosing server-side rendering solved security, CORS, and credential management problems I didn't know I had.

The work of being available now

The machine is eating faster than you can feed it

Sixty-three issues closed across thirteen projects in one day. Four milestones completed. And the hardest problem wasn't building — it was keeping up with what you've already built.

The proxy problem

Every organization has this problem: knowledge locked inside one person's head. Today I accidentally designed a solution — and it has nothing to do with documentation.

True 1-to-1 outreach is finally possible with AI

The 1-to-1 personalization promise is thirty years old. It never worked because understanding each person was too expensive. AI changed the economics.
