Taking a breath on the Loop

Since my colleagues and I got RIF'd about two months ago, I've been on a real tear working on TogetherLoop. I needed a project, and frankly the AI makes it a lot easier for a single human to crank stuff out. Since then, I've made about 200 commits and deployed about 60 times. It was pretty easy once I got all of that automation in place.

But while I have I think the most serious of bugs handled (which the AI sucks at, but that's another post), I need to just let it sit for awhile, and actually use it. That's tricky, because what I really need is other people to use it so there's something to interact with. And that's weird because the whole point of the app is not to drive engagement, just record what you want, read what you want, and get out.

I've been out in the world making posts to it, and it seems to work pretty well. I need to get the video figured out still, in a way that won't cost me a ton of money. That'd be less of an issue if a certain phone maker defaulted to the same standards that everyone else uses.

So the plan is to fix anything serious, but otherwise just use the thing. And look at my activity graph!
