• Went out earlier with the intention of getting a few things fixed, but didn't manage to get any of them done. Still to do

  • Put air in the tires

  • Get the gas & heating working

  • Get covers for the windows

• • Snack: Yogurt & Granola

  • Lunch: Khan's Meal

• Quite happy with how this week went. 4 days ago I wrote Health 2026, and because I kept it simple, I remained focused on it throughout the week. Previously a common failure mode has been "I'm not sure if this fits within my guidelines, fuck it I'll eat it so", but because I have a clear guideline for eating out and snacking, that didn't happen this week. Let's see if it continues this week.

• List

  • Breakfast: Yogurt & Granola, no chocolate

  • Snacks: 2x small slices of pizza

  • Evening: 10x salted crackers, assorted cheeses. Likely around 1400 cals

• Hospital experience today was a reminder of why I love Amsterdam. It was a 5 minute drive, everyone we dealt with was competent, thorough, and good at communicating - it's remarkable how consistent this is across the Dutch population. The queue in front of us was 3 people, maybe a 20 minute wait, less for the second appointment. Just an all-round painless experience.

• Set up sentry alerts to the internal_scout channel

• Wasn't happy with the name streak.fyi. Landed on "updates" as something descriptive enough, bought updates.fm and transferred everything over.

• Nov 27 checkpoint

• I feel like we've hit potentially the first "product-is-good-enough-for-x" point since we started. You can now Sign in to scout, sign in to your services, and ask Scout to do stuff within those services, and each of those steps works reasonably reliably.

• Next Tasks

  • Going methodically through the list of services like a checklist and documenting the extent to which they work & issues like screen sizing.

  • For services that need desktop, don't have a 50/50 grid - instead switch to 75/25 split

• Other Learnings

  • Smooth isn't good at summarization tasks, it seems trained to be very utilitarian. For example if you ask it to summarize all the conversations, it will just give you back the raw transcripts, even if you prompt it to summarize. It will say things like "Action Items: ..." and then just repeat the raw messages. We have a few options to address this: 1. Parse the returned output with a different LLM. 2. Tell people to use hyperbrowser for summarization tasks, 3. Add a router ourselves which would check what kind of task it is and route to Hyperbrowser if summarization, or 4. Tell people for now not to use it for summarization.

  • The "Skills first" approach feels less natural when I'm attempting to use the product each day. I find myself just selecting free text mode and then typing out the full url of the service. I'm wonder if it'd be better to simply allow people to @-mention services

• Did a call with Luca & Antonio to try to get to the bottom of the iframe typing issue. Couldn't get anywhere but concluded it's probably just my machine.

• List

  • Lunch: Soup (Brocolli, onion) & Sandwich (Chicken & rocket) on small ciabatta

  • Dinner: Khan's chicken & Rice

  • Snack: Natural Yogurt, honey, Holies granola, half bar of Tony's chocolate

• • Lunch: Khan's chicken & rice

  • Other: Tea, Powerade

  • 

• Call with Megan Raf Niel to plan client app migration

• Call with Christian to debug App performance issues - link

• Continued adding changes from yesterday. Better font & added a top bar, still have more changes I want to make though.

• Call with Ahuva. Went through the tickets and docs but didn't manage to get anything agreed, and ran out of time. I told her I'd follow up with more, but it's 6:30 now and I haven't got to it. She emailed asking to chat, will have to be tomorrow.

• Did team call. Notes left in Asana. Todo for me: Code review the massive Pull Request

• Terrible day today. Got to the cinema late so didn't get to Albert Heijn. Next time 100%

  • Lunch: 2 longganisa sausages w brown rice. 550 calories.

  • Cinema: Large nachos & 2x cheese dips: 1800 calories

• Check in: I'm not doing great on this stream at all. I haven't been tracking what I'm consuming, and haven't been making smart decisions. Need to get back on the wagon.

• Chat with Earle: Let's interview more people & keep high throughput to the exercise, goal for having someone on is Dec 10. Todo: Add to github and weave

• Chat with Patrick: Gave update on all streams & clarified intent to continue with same commercials

12:45

  • Domain set up (Streak.fyi)

  • Add Stream Groups

  • Clean up all my old streams

  • Clean out Roam so that postman is fully set up

• Updates

  • Added integrations page.

  • Got provider switching super clean/bug free.

  • Lots of feedback back/forth with Smooth team.

• Week 48

• Tuesday: Conversation with Faith about where to focus. I'd like to venture more into paid ads as they're more predictable than our creators

• Several updates last week & this wk: Improvements to how components are managed. Website udpates. Oh and we integrated htm from preact so we can use it for templating in components.

• Made lots of changes - finally got groups (channels) sorted and began. Feels like I almost have the "life dashboard" I'd been envisioning.

• Nov 24: Really feel like I'm missing out on saving great content, so I went and fixed the Chrome extension. It's now working for me, but it's still not published on the Chrome Extension Store. To return to this

• Streams this week

  • 24 Tax return: Ieke responded about the updated return with the overseas holding companies included. Return now submitted

  • 24 Irish Returns: Got docs signed & Emma submitted both Fuse & Tonic returns to CRO.

• Week 48

• Monday: Got response on our offer for Prinsengracht & it was a rejection. Super bummed out. Called them - they chose another family because of both offer amount and their profile. Learning: next time bid higher & include a letter.

• Tuesday: Viewed place beside Volkshotel - lovely with high ceilings but not enough rooms. Told the agent we were looking and he said he'd send on another place near Vondelpark that's not on market yet & is much bigger
