Captain's log-
Finalizing billing updates and progressing on monitor details
What I worked on today
- Finished several billing-related tasks, including Stripe integration and refining the block page.
- Made substantial progress on the monitor detail view and its subcomponents.
- Worked on the monitor activity feed and started designing the monitor activity detail section.
- Still unsure about the final approach for monitor activity detail, with several ideas but no clear decision yet.
Lessons learned
- Finalizing billing logic is always satisfying, but it takes time to ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Breaking down the monitor detail view into subcomponents makes it easier to iterate and improve.
- Proud of maintaining daily logging, even knowing that people aren’t reading it—it helps track progress and stay accountable.
- Struggling with feature uncertainty is frustrating, but it’s part of the design process.
- Need to improve consistency in social media posting to maintain engagement.
Challenges faced
- Uncertainty about the monitor activity detail design.
- Frustration over not posting enough on social media.
- Had some issues with Alpine.js, but they are fixed now after troubleshooting and refining the implementation.
What’s next
- Continue working on the monitor activity detail section and finalize its design.
- Plan and execute more social media updates to maintain visibility.
- Review the monitoring workflow to ensure all features align smoothly.
