current status: the return of fable resulted in more time spent in claude than i would like to admit. mixed results:
- shipped a 'mystery shopper' tool that gives a scorecard for the ai and human experience on (local) busines websites.
- replaced my $20/ per month superwhisper transcription tool with a free version i built myself
- shipped v1 brochure sites for uplift digital & new normal health, as well as this page :)
- upgraded my partner's backend (not like THAT): his massage business went from 5 scatterd tools to a single supabase with proper auth — one CRM, one login with five years of client history
- messed up my circadian rhythm. watching england play football until 2am certainly hasn't helped
i did manage to balance out all the code with many hours in garden, mostly pulling up meters of winding weed roots, perhaps with the naive hope that i've eradicated the problem (watch this space).
meanwhile in my NTP study we're currently learning about cardio-metabolic health. i have never heard so much about the biochemistry of lipids before. it's quite overwhelming and the first time in a while where my brain learning capacity has been genuinely stretched!
