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.
