The Log
Short entries, long articles, all in one timeline. Red bars are failures that taught me something. Green bars are breakthroughs. Articles go deeper.
Bought the domain. Connected Cloudflare. Deployed from GitHub. Auto-deploy on push to main. The whole thing took one Claude Code session. First green bar for the site itself.
Ran 50 users through Draft’s onboarding flow. 12% made it to their first generated message. The mic permission prompt kills momentum — 38% drop off right there. Need to rethink the flow: show value before asking for permissions.
Zero paid conversions in the first week at $9/month. Free tier (local transcription + Familiar Voices) is too good — nobody hits the paywall. The AI summaries aren’t compelling enough to upgrade for. Need to find a sharper wedge for paid.
After 200+ accepted drafts from 10 beta users, Draft’s style matching hit 94% — measured by edit distance between generated and accepted text. The RLHF loop is working. Users are editing less over time, which means the learning flywheel is real.
GUIs were always a compromise. Now that AI agents are real, the command line is back — not because developers are nostalgic, but because it's the only interface that actually works for AI.
