Thoughts, tutorials, and discoveries from the last 6 months
How structured vault notes became a private HTML dashboard — and how handing someone a folder of skills, rules, and scripts got them a chat-driven planning surface within twenty minutes.
How I turned a Suno hook into a vertical clip with Gemini stills, Kling motion, CapCut assembly, and Hedra lip-sync — plus what failed along the way.
How Larry separates Firestore and game-API caches, invalidates each at the right boundary, and targets sub-five-second config sync without Redis.
The read/write protocol I use to make two forgetful AI tools resume from the same task state and leave durable context behind.
What analytics and SEO taught me about making a personal site findable without turning it into a growth machine.
How Larry moves an admin change across a React panel, Firebase API, modular Firestore config, and a long-lived Discord bot without sharing process memory.
A user-journey tour of Larry: server setup, verified Clash of Clans accounts, recruiting posts, cooldown rules, scheduling, and the admin panel.
How Larry grew from one index.js into a production Discord bot with verified recruiting, cooldowns, scheduling, and a web admin panel.
How a pre-paint script, matching CSS, and a two-frame handoff stopped my persisted Astro sidebar from flashing on hard loads.
How plain-text notes and small savepoints became the interchange layer between my Logseq vault, code repositories, blog, and AI tools.
