Fold

Tally got a full visual overhaul early in the month, new fonts, a parchment palette, a desktop layout that finally uses the viewport, then kept iterating: an iOS redesign, cross-platform message read-state sync, an internationalization pass with a real translation pipeline, shipping as v3.4.0 then v3.4.1. Fuse shipped Google Calendar integration. Grapher, a Desmos-style calculator with no external dependencies, landed from scratch.

Brief, the legal case tool, was the anchor of the month. It went from a web layout experiment to a native Swift app in a week, then to a full redesign (v6, then v6.2.0), a third case activated, and CASE-0002 completed end to end. Charters shipped its own liquid glass redesign and went live on iOS the same week. Two new apps, Echo (on-device Whisper transcription) and Beep (a native transit companion), shipped from scratch on a single Saturday.

Mid-month brought the biggest structural move: school, cadence, epiphany, and bcgd all folded into one apps monorepo, and the journal moved off GitHub Pages onto Vercel. A shared CFA-inspired design system (cream, red, yellow, charcoal) rolled out across every web app in the same stretch. Epiphany had its own sprint on top of that: migrated off a retired stock data endpoint onto a stable API, added a Gotham-style map pass, cached news, twelve FRED economic series, live flight tracking via OpenSky, and Buy/Hold/Sell calls on stock detail pages. Life, the therapy document, got another editing and parity pass across web and iOS. Echo and Tally both reached their App Store submission lines by the end of the month.

Started sorting out school plans — landed on UVIC for computer science (originally looked at Capilano for paralegal studies, but CS is the path). Pre-calc test prep stayed the recurring background task all month, alongside the usual gym routine.
