Silent mode for some weeks and plenty of refactoring for the tracking plan generator. Major change, swapped Supabase for Convex and Sonnet 3.7 for 4.0. It generated this for a Miro use case:

Puh - the new Propagandhi album is going deep... Really good, but completely different from what I thought it would be.

Good day - part 2. First successful deployment of the home-built course platform. Some more tests, and we can move the people from Circle to it.

Good day - I generated the first test tracking plan via the app. My usual test case: Miro. 30s, 6 entities, 38 events (maybe a bit too many), 45 properties. Quality - quite close to my manual designs. Next step - make the table look nicer.

I guess my version of midlife crisis is thinking about buying band shirts again - I know a mild version. Talking to Johan van de Werken (not if you are on BS) does not help.

Ok, I am pushing it now - create tracking plans with multiple models, synthetize and do cherry picking to get your perfect tracking plan. But beware, I will show warnings when create more than 20 events. This is an opinionated software.

It looks so innocent in that stage - I could keep it for simplicity like this - but there is this urge for individual UI that cannot be controlled.

I really enjoyed Juliana's latest post about unit economics - julianajackson.substack.com/p/unit-econo...
Why Unit Economics Outlast Growth Metrics
When capital is cheap, any chart can look heroic. When markets tighten, only businesses with positive unit economics breathe easy.

Something I always wanted to have in a tracking plan tool: auto-population of descriptions and examples.
Now I added it to the HipsterDataPlan. My current optimization metric is time to the v1 version of a tracking plan. This saves me 30-60m easily.

Ok, a year ago, I would have said a definite no to building a tracking plan/setup tool. But things have changed. I now have a way to generate really high-quality tracking plans with GenAI, so now I'll build the frontend for it. I'll keep you posted.

One thing that I can't get out of my head. What if most digital products are compromises made too early? You rush to product market fit, but is your product that good to make a difference in the long term? Did you start to bake in features you are not passionate about because they seem reasonable?

Ok. Should I try mechanical ergo keyboards? I spent some time in the rabbit hole yesterday. And I am tempted. But I am also impatient. So I need to prepare myself for the journey.

So my first virtual marketing team session is over with everyone developing a 6,12,30 weeks strategy for their area and let the virtual CMO review it. The good part for me was that it forced me to think a lot about positioning and audiences.

Do you record videos to explain dashboards? Lately I started to do this more consistently, to have a 3m explainer video describing the purpose of the dashboard and what each chart is showing.
