v1 status snapshot, 2026-05-17
openPicking-up-where-I-left-off note. What's live as of late May, what's queued, what's blocked on me supplying content.
proposed 2026-05-17v1statushandoffself-note
A snapshot of where the site stands when I stopped to do other things. The point of this entry is to make it easy to pick up later without re-reading the entire conversation log. Pinned as an idea because the queued items belong here until they become tasks.
What is live
| Change | Notes |
|---|---|
| Life Plan main page redesign with pillar cards | Master Plan + Tasks as full-bleed cards, not tiny links |
| Story / Journey / Goals / Changed-my-mind sections hidden | Intentionally suppressed in the page until real content exists; see the HIDDEN SECTIONS comment in app/life/page.tsx. Tables + primitives untouched, revert is one commit |
| Principle bodies render markdown wikilinks | <a href="/notebook/ai-usage-constitution">The AI Usage Constitution</a> resolves to live notebook URL |
| Contact email in footer | husayn@husayngokal.com on every page |
/ideas route + menu entry |
This very entry lives there |
| Research paper library idea entry | First entry in /ideas, detailed proposal |
| Library orphan rows cleared | 217 books down to 195, junk removed |
/life/plan and /life/tasks as big pillar cards |
Promoted from afterthought links |
| Library mobile overflow fix | Underscored titles no longer blow out the layout |
| Projects surface restored | Slipwise lives at /projects/slipwise. Menu, sitemap, Cmd-K search, and homepage "across the site" row all carry it. |
| Mental Models / Study Log still archived from menu, sitemap, search | Routes still resolve. Content getters still exist. Re-introducing is a coordinated revert across MenuDrawer.tsx + sitemap.ts + search-index.ts. Search Archived in those files. |
| ICS Marine Insurance credential re-added to vault | Lives at /study/credentials/ics-marine-insurance.md with pending: true and exam-date: 2026-05-20. Drives the typewriter's currently studying slot even though the Study Log surface is still off the public menu. |
| Migration 0014 (ideas table) ran | Vault sync now lands idea entries cleanly |
| LinkedIn credentials scaffold | Optional file_path + import script ready, waiting on the data export |
| reMarkable importer + dedup + enrichment | 195 books, 78 with covers, titles cleaned, slug-collision auto-suffix |
| 7 operating principles in author's voice, no em-dashes | Drawn from the Master Plan, written into the vault |
| New motto | "Understand deeply. Build honestly. Ship publicly. Serve usefully. Repeat forever." |
| Master Plan import (18 Parts, ~880 pages) | Live at /life/plan and /life/plan/[slug] |
| Public tasks surface (119 tasks across 6 scopes) | Live at /life/tasks with category + recurrence chips |
| Native View Transitions + breathier Life Plan fade | Real fade-in / fade-out crossfade, slower on Life Plan |
| Visible Search button with platform-adaptive shortcut | ⌘ K on Mac, Ctrl K elsewhere; icon-only on phones |
| Location auto-sync via iOS Shortcut | Time-based + arrive-at-location, both live |
| Mobile sidebar overlap fix on 5 surfaces | Credentials / writeups / library / courses / mental-models |
What is queued
| Item | Blocking on |
|---|---|
| Mental Models surface — content + un-archive from menu / sitemap / search | My time + my decisions about which models to ship first |
| Study Log surface — content + un-archive from menu (the ICS credential is in the DB already but doesn't render on the public surface) | Same |
| Physical books list | Me sending the titles + authors in whatever format |
| LinkedIn data export import | Me downloading the export zip from LinkedIn and dropping it in ~/Downloads/ |
| Real Story vignettes for the Life Plan page | Me writing 2 to 4 defining moments |
| Real Journey entries (turning points + dates) | Me listing the real ones (ASTI dates, master plan write, site launch, etc.) |
| Real Goals across lifetime / 5y / year / quarter / month | Drafts can be extracted from the Master Plan; final pass is me |
| Real Changed-my-mind log entries | Me, with previous-and-now framing |
What is in flight (open ideas)
- research-paper-library — separate surface for papers, with notes, reproducibility, source-credibility meta-search, AI summaries, hosted jupyter notebooks. Detailed writeup in its own entry.
What I should remember when I come back
- The Life Plan main page is intentionally trimmed. Story / Journey / Goals / Changed-my-mind sections will not render until I either supply content OR un-hide them in
app/life/page.tsx. The data layer is intact; this is a JSX-level suppression, one revert and they are back. - Mental Models, Study Log, and Projects are archived from public discovery. The routes still resolve (so direct URLs work and old links do not 404), but they are removed from the menu drawer, the sitemap, the search index, and the homepage "across the site" row. To bring them back, search
Archivedincomponents/MenuDrawer.tsx,app/sitemap.ts,lib/content/search-index.ts, andapp/page.tsx. Each file has a comment marking the spot. - Some of the "queued" items in the table above are blocked entirely on me writing content. Those are not engineering tasks; they are author tasks. Move them to
/life/taskswhen I am ready to commit to a date. - The reMarkable / LinkedIn / physical books importers are all in
scripts/. Each has a one-linenpm runentry inpackage.json. None of them require any explanation that is not already in their header comment.
