Refactoring code, improving layout, and new use cases
What I worked on today
No specific focus, just going with the flow and addressing pain points in the codebase.
Spent time refactoring and restructuring files to make the project more maintainable, which is crucial for handling competitor pricing data efficiently.
Made progress on the layout, adding improvements to tooltips, the activity feed, and screen captures, ensuring better visibility for competition and pricing insights.
Got in touch with someone from a different sector who introduced new use cases for Spyrate, expanding its potential applications in pricing strategy and analytics.
Lessons learned
A chaotic codebase slows things down—refactoring is necessary for long-term efficiency, especially when dealing with pricing approaches.
New conversations can open unexpected doors, providing insights into additional applications, including potential penetration pricing and skimming pricing models.
Small UI improvements like tooltips and activity feed refinements can greatly improve user experience, particularly when tracking dynamic pricing adjustments.

Challenges faced
Debating whether to add status or type to the activity feed modal to better distinguish different events.
Finding a balance between improving code structure and making visible product progress.
What’s next
Finalizing a clear plan for the activity feed structure, ensuring it can handle competitor pricing insights effectively.
Starting on AI analysis jobs to enhance Spyrate’s capabilities in based pricing evaluations and pricing strategy developments.
