Two urgent items today — the billing-migration PR is blocking staging, and ENG-218 has been escalated twice.

  • Review acme/web#412 — billing migration
    GitHub blocking the staging deploy.
  • ENG-218 — onboarding skips empty workspaces
    Linear flagged by support twice this week.
  • Review acme/api#127 — cache invalidation
    GitHub small diff; reviewed v1 last week.

When the tab opens

Yesterday’s line is still here.

Chrome doesn’t open on a search bar. It opens on what you said the hour was for. Keep it, or clear it and write the next one.

Before you pick a repo

Two things. Already ranked.

The billing PR is blocking staging. ENG-218 has been escalated twice. You didn’t open GitHub to find that out.

The front page is already here.

The post you’d have argued in, without opening a tab you’d forget to close. Points, comments, still on the board.

butter is a side-project. I built it because every new-tab extension I tried was either an ad farm or a kitchen sink. Every Pro subscriber buys another evening on butter.

v1.5.5 — Today, Transit, a calmer first run. Full log.

It’s already there when Chrome opens.

Pro is $5/mo when you’re ready — pricing.
