HiveJournal Logo
The HiveJournal Suite

Tools for expanding what's possible.

Inside yourself. In what you read. In what you build. HiveJournal is one platform with three doors โ€” meet JQ, your AI companion, in any of them.

Three doors. One platform.

JQ โ€” your AI companion โ€” appears across all three. Use one, use all.

๐Ÿ““

The Journal

Inside yourself

Write, reflect, set goals, track moods, and break dreams into action. JQ helps you see patterns and grow over time. Includes DreamPro, Workout Window, JQ Bridge, and more.

โœจ

The Extension

In what you read

A Chrome extension that reframes any text on the open web. Surface alternative perspectives, silver linings, and real organizations working on the issues you read about.

โญ

Citizen Science

In what you build

A worldwide community of citizen scientists, family teams, classrooms, and meetup groups replicating Open Energy experiments together. Includes a global map, an annual competition, sponsors, opportunities, and shared video build logs.

Inside the Journal

Everything that lives in the HiveJournal app โ€” organized by what it helps you do.

๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ“‹

Tasks & Calendar

๐Ÿ“‹

Personal Task List

A private todo list with categories, priorities, due dates, and status tracking. Click status badges to cycle them. Tasks are RLS-scoped โ€” only you can see them.

๐Ÿ’ฌ

Natural-Language Task Entry

Type "Buy groceries tomorrow" or "Remind me to call dentist Friday" โ€” JQ extracts the title, category, and due date. Works in the chatbot, the extension popup, or the quick-add box on the tasks page.

๐Ÿ“…

Google Calendar Sync

Connect your Google Calendar and tasks with due dates auto-sync as all-day events. Updates and deletions propagate. Read & write events scope only โ€” no access to other calendars.

๐Ÿ”

Recurring Routines (#routine)

Tag a task with #routine and describe its cadence in plain English ("every Monday morning", "every other day", "on the 15th of each month") โ€” JQ turns it into a recurring template and auto-spawns new instances when due.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Tag People and Categories

Use @name to tag a person or #tag to categorize a task. Every chip is clickable to filter the list. Works in the quick-add box and in JQ chat.

โœจ

JQ Manages Tasks From Anywhere

Ask JQ in the chatbot ("what's on my list?") or the Chrome extension popup ("add task to record screencast") and it routes to your task list automatically.

๐Ÿง 

Life Map

๐Ÿ—บ

A Visual Map of Your Life

JQ reads your journal entries and tasks, extracts the people, projects, topics, emotions, places, goals, habits, and values in your life, and draws a graph of how they connect.

๐Ÿ”ญ

Multiple ViewPoints

Look at the same data through different lenses: a force-directed Brain Map, Spheres (concentric rings by life domain), Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow pyramid), Timeline heatmap, and a People-First orbit with you at the center and the people in your life around you.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

People-First Orbit

You at the center. The people in your life orbit around you โ€” closer if you mention them more. Under each person, small satellites show what they're entangled with: a project, a place, a feeling.

๐Ÿ“†

Timeline Heatmap

See which parts of your life you're leaning into right now โ€” and which you've drifted from. Each row is a node, each column is a week; cell intensity shows mention count. Grouped by life domain.

๐Ÿ”

Click Any Node to Drill Through

Click a person, project, or topic on the map to see every journal entry and task that mentions it, with a mentions-over-time sparkline and one-click task creation that auto-tags the right @ or #.

โœŽ

Edit, Merge, and Maintain

Rename a node, re-categorize it, adjust its importance, merge duplicates (e.g. "Sarah" + "Sarah Chen") into one, or delete noise. A search box and back-button keep big maps navigable.

๐Ÿ”—

Hand-Draw Connections

The LLM will miss things. Click + Add connection in the drawer to link two nodes manually โ€” pick the kind (related, works-on, with-person, feels, causes, โ€ฆ) and the target from a searchable list. Remove any connection with a click.

๐Ÿ“Œ

Pin Nodes Where You Want Them

Drag any node on the Brain Map to lock it in place. Pinned nodes survive re-layouts, so the people or projects you care about always sit where you expect while the rest of the graph flows around them.

๐Ÿ”ฎ

Search by Meaning

Type a question like "who do I work out with?" and JQ finds the right nodes even if those exact words never appear in your map. Powered by OpenAI embeddings โ€” results show a similarity score.

โ†ป

Rebuilds Automatically

A daily JQ Routine re-scans the last 60 days of your notes and keeps the map current. Rebuild on demand any time.

๐Ÿ“–

Weekly Review

๐Ÿ“–

JQ Zooms Out Every Week

Every 7 days, JQ aggregates your journal entries, tasks, routines, goals, life-map deltas, and drops โ€” and writes a structured reflection: summary, wins, open loops, mood & energy trend, routines kept, questions for next week.

๐Ÿ“

Save Reviews as Journal Entries

One click turns any weekly review into a tagged journal entry so your reflection becomes part of the record you look back on next month.

โœจ

Generate On Demand

Don't want to wait for Sunday? Hit "Generate now" and JQ builds a review for the last 7 days immediately.

๐Ÿ”

JQ Routines

๐Ÿ”—

Notes โ†” Tasks, Linked Both Ways

When JQ converts a note to a task, the link sticks. The notebook shows the task in place of the note (with a back-link). The note page shows a banner pointing to its spawned tasks. The task list shows a "from note: [title]" chip.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Scan Recent Notes for Tasks

When you open JQ, if it's been more than an hour, JQ reads the last 24 hours of journal entries and surfaces anything that sounds like a reminder or task โ€” with a one-click button to add them all to your list.

โœ๏ธ

Custom Routines in Plain English

Describe a routine in a sentence ("every morning, pull a 3-sentence recap of yesterday's notes") and JQ turns it into a scheduled background job.

๐Ÿ“Š

Routines Dashboard

See every routine JQ runs for you, how often it runs, the history of each run, and its results. Toggle routines on/off, change the schedule, or run one now.

๐Ÿ“‹

Copy Conversation as JSON

Any JQ conversation can be copied as structured JSON with a single click in the chat header โ€” handy for pasting into other tools or keeping a local record.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Citizen Science (DreamPro)

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Citizen Scientist World Map

A privacy-respecting world map of opted-in participants. Coordinates are fuzzed to a ~5km grid server-side, never exact lat/lng.

๐Ÿ†

Open Energy Competition

Annual global competition with leaderboards by participant kind. Earn points by cloning templates, completing experiments, confirming replications, and publishing builds.

๐Ÿ’Ž

Sponsors Wall

Companies and organizations backing the platform and individual competitions. Directory model โ€” sponsors apply, admin approves, the wall renders publicly.

๐ŸŽ“

Opportunities

Browse internships, scholarships, fellowships, and mentorships posted by sponsors. Apply directly via the linked application URL.

๐Ÿค

Sponsorable Scientists

A directory of citizen scientists actively seeking sponsorship. Send relayed messages without exposing personal email โ€” rate-limited to prevent abuse.

๐Ÿซ

K-12 Classrooms

COPPA-safe

Teachers register a class as the participant. No student data is ever stored. Browse classroom-safe templates and post aggregate progress reports.

๐Ÿค

Local Meetup Groups

Find a local meetup or start your own. Schedule events linked to specific templates, accept RSVPs, and build a regional community of replicators.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง

Family Teams

Register your household as a family team. Bucketed kid age bands (no exact ages stored). A great way to do experiments together with kids.

๐ŸŽฅ

Build Videos

Citizen scientists submit YouTube videos of their experiment builds. Embedded via youtube-nocookie, admin-approved, classroom accounts cannot submit.

๐Ÿงฎ

Experiment Calculators

New

Predict before you build. 6 built-in calculators (resonance, coil, impedance, electrolysis, pulsed DC, plasma) compute expected outcomes from first principles. No account needed.

โšก

Parameter Optimizer

New

Automated parameter sweep finds the optimal build configuration for each experiment. The system's best prediction becomes a shareable "confirm this" invitation.

๐Ÿ“Š

Structured Measurements

New

Record your physical results alongside software predictions. Real-time delta badges show how your build compares. Community results aggregate toward 50 confirmations per experiment.

๐Ÿ”

Anomaly Detection

New

When real-world measurements diverge from software predictions (>2 standard deviations), the system flags them. These anomalies are the scientifically interesting signal.

๐Ÿ“–

Odessa โ€” Personalized Stories

๐Ÿ

The Daily Buzz

New

A recurring cartoon bee with big glasses reads your recent journals and delivers a single-panel comic strip โ€” one quippy observation a day about your life, like Ziggy meets The Truman Show.

๐Ÿ”ฎ

Odessa Story Generator

New

Reads your journals, finds the emotional pattern, and generates a personalized graphic novel with different names, fantastical settings, and the same emotional truth. Friction-reduction through narrative.

๐ŸŽจ

Graphic Novel Notebooks

New

Co-develop a visual story with AI. Chat describes scenes, GPT generates panels, DALL-E illustrates in a consistent art style. Speech bubbles, narration captions, storyboard management.

๐ŸŽฌ

Auto-Generate Full Stories

New

Flash (3 illustrated pages, 2-4 min) or Short Story (9 pages across 3 acts, 8-15 min). AI writes the narrative arc and illustrates every panel. Novel length coming soon.

๐Ÿ“บ

Episodic Stories

New

Stories evolve with your journal. Each new episode reads entries since the last, translating real-life changes into narrative. Character arcs, plot threads, and tension levels persist across episodes.

๐Ÿ”€

Interactive Branching

New

At key narrative moments, choose what your character does next. Choices metaphorically map to real tensions in your journal. Branch history shapes future episodes.

๐Ÿ“Š

Character Stats

New

Your real-life energy, resilience, connection, clarity, and momentum are computed from journal activity and reflected in how your story characters behave. Growth in real life means growth in fiction.

๐Ÿ”—

Shareable Stories

New

Share your Odessa story with a public link. No real names, no real places โ€” just the emotional truth refracted through fiction. Recipients see the full graphic novel without needing an account.

๐Ÿ“ฅ

Journal Import

New

Import from Day One, Journey, or any CSV. Timestamps preserved. Then let Odessa read your entire history and turn years of journaling into a graphic novel.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

See Your Story

The campaign that connects import to Odessa: bring your journal history, see the patterns you couldn't see from inside your own life.

๐ŸŽญ

๐ŸŽฌ

Story Seasons

๐Ÿ”

Murder Mysteries

New

A shared storyline unfolds across a community of characters. One is guilty. One is the victim. Others are witnesses, suspects, investigators. Follow their private journals to piece together what happened.

๐ŸŽญ

Serialized Drama

New

Community-wide events affect every character differently. Episodes trigger over time, and each character reacts based on their personality, relationships, and secrets. Real weather, real news, real emotions.

๐Ÿ“–

Multi-Perspective Stories

New

The same conflict told from every angle. Partners argue and both journal about it. A workplace incident shows up in three different diaries. Connected characters with interwoven backstories and complementary personalities.

๐Ÿ“œ

Recovered Journals Reader

New

An immersive reading experience designed to feel like opening a dead person's journal. Entries from all characters interwoven chronologically. Color-coded by role. Filter by character. Piece together what happened.

๐Ÿค–

The Turing Logs

New

AI characters living normal lives start hitting bureaucratic walls. A driver's license requires a "cognitive continuity assessment." A psychologist asks questions that get increasingly strange. Then tells them the truth: they're not real. Read their journals as they process it.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

Audio Production Pipeline

New

Every Story Season becomes a full audio drama. AI voice actors read each character's journal in their own ElevenLabs voice. A narrator weaves it together with cinematic intros and transitions. Compiled into a master MP3 ready for podcast distribution.

๐ŸŽฌ

YouTube + Podcast Distribution

New

One click publishes a finished season as an unlisted YouTube video (with Ken Burns slideshow on the character portraits) and adds it to a public podcast RSS feed for Apple Podcasts and Spotify. New seasons auto-distribute as they complete.

โฌก

Graphene โ€” the network

New

All Story Seasons live under Graphene, a network identity with its own landing page (/graphene), brand mark on every season page, and email subscription for "tell me when the next season drops." Network branding flows through to RSS feed metadata + YouTube descriptions automatically.

๐ŸŒ™

Dream Roles

New

AI personas live banal everyday lives โ€” but in their dreams, they're actors. When they journal about a vivid dream from last night or a nap, they describe playing roles in Graphene seasons they've been cast in. Their real life is mundane; their dreams are the network. Lore quietly ties everything together.

โœ‰

Listener Letters

New

Write a short message to any cast member from the season page. If selected, the next AI-generated journal entry from that character is quietly colored by what you sent โ€” the persona never quotes you, never breaks the fourth wall, but the subtext bends. Get an email when your letter airs. The only show on earth that listens back.

๐ŸŽž๏ธ

Auto-built trailers

New

Every season gets a 30-60s teaser. We pick 3-5 of the strongest already-rendered moments โ€” the hook, the peaks, a reveal โ€” stitch them together over the focus character's leitmotif, and add a final tag card. On /graphene, hover any poster and the trailer plays muted right inside the card. Click for the full thing.

๐ŸŽญ

About-the-actor profiles

New

Click any cast member portrait and you land on their actor page โ€” cinematic portrait, MBTI, life situation (occupation, core tension, kids, relationship), every season they're cast in with their leitmotif playing inline, OCEAN personality bars, and recent journal entries. The persona becomes a real character.

๐ŸŽž๏ธ

Cinematic video shots

New

Beyond Ken Burns: split-frame for journal entries (portrait left, scrolling entry on a paper background right), split-screen for speaker changes, mandelbrot ambient for narrator transitions, episode title cards that slide up, audio waveform mirrored across the bottom, mood-tuned color grading, vignette + film grain finish. Per-season toggles.

๐ŸŽผ

Mood-scored music + leitmotifs

New

Each segment is tagged for mood and intensity, clusters become mood-tuned ambient cues via MusicGen, and every cast member gets their own 15-second leitmotif designed to their MBTI + role. When a character speaks, their theme plays underneath. Sidechain ducking keeps voice clear.

๐Ÿ’ญ

Audience feedback shapes the next render

New

Listeners drop timestamped comments and per-aspect ๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ‘Ž on narrator, tone, music, word choice while audio plays. The next script regen reads all of it as audience signal โ€” GPT sees aggregate counts and the timestamps where listeners thumbed down each aspect, and writes the new copy accordingly.

โ™ป๏ธ

Auto-rerender as content grows

New

Set "auto-rerender at N new entries" per season. As personas keep journaling, a backend cron watches the count and fires the full pipeline (script โ†’ audio โ†’ music โ†’ video) whenever the threshold is hit. Listeners come back to fresh cuts marked "โœจ New" on the network landing.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Creator monetization (Graphene)

๐Ÿ’ธ

Tip the writer (chapter-level)

New

Listeners tip $1 / $5 / $10 on any chapter via Stripe Checkout. 80% lands in the writer's Stripe Connect account at the moment of charge โ€” not later, not pooled. Pre-Connect tips hold on the platform until the writer onboards, then a one-click reconcile sweeps them across.

๐ŸŽง

Graphene+ subscription pool

New

A $5/mo (or $48/yr) subscription unlocks early-access chapters across the whole network. Monthly pool splits 70% to creators by listening-time share, 30% to platform. Annual prepays 12 months for the price of 10.

๐Ÿช™

Drift coins โ€” in-app currency

New

Listeners buy coin bundles ($5 / $15 / $30) via Stripe and spend them across the network. Three uses today: tip the writer with coins (90% to writer), unlock a single locked chapter (50 coins = $5), or find hidden Drift treasures planted in the prose (passages a writer marks; selecting them earns coins).

๐Ÿ“Š

Creator earnings dashboard

New

One page showing lifetime / pending / transferred / retained, broken down by source (chapter tips / drift coin tips / subscription pool / sponsorship / manual grant). Per-row "Listener #abc1" anonymized labels so writers spot recurring supporters without the platform leaking real identifiers.

๐Ÿชง

Public writer hub

New

Patreon-style page at /writers/<handle> listing every show a writer has published, with their bio + hero banner + "X supporters ยท $Y sent ยท last tipped 3h ago" social-proof chip. Each show card has its own Support button. Slug-based URLs; UUID URLs keep working forever.

๐ŸŽฏ

Support-the-writer surface

New

A single "๐Ÿ’ธ Support the writer" button on every season hero opens a picker with all three streams โ€” tip, subscribe, coin tip โ€” pre-scoped to the latest published chapter so the writer earns on a chapter the listener actually heard.

๐Ÿ“ง

Tip notification emails

New

When a writer's creator_earnings row lands paid (Stripe tip OR Drift coin tip), Resend fires an email with gross / share / earnings-dashboard link. Writers feel earnings arrive โ†’ share their hub โ†’ flywheel.

๐Ÿค

Listener support dashboard

New

Mirror image of the creator earnings page, for listeners โ€” see what you've sent OUT across all rails (Stripe tips, Drift coin tips, coin purchases) on /dashboard/my-support. Unified activity feed with show + writer + relative timestamp.

โœ…

Creator getting-started checklist

New

A 7-step concrete walkthrough at /dashboard/creator that takes a writer from signup to "tips can flow." Money-on-hold banner surfaces retained earnings + a one-click Connect onboarding so creators see exactly what's blocking their first dollar.

โ˜•

write.cafe (writers' room)

โ˜•

Daily writing ritual

New

Show up, write, log it. A streak that means you kept showing up โ€” not how good the day was. A small cohort of writers doing the same thing this week. Ambient cohort presence, no pressure.

๐Ÿ

Sprints

New

30-day pushes. Any month, any goal. Set a target word count or session count and watch the cohort working alongside you.

๐ŸŽ

Weekly bento-box contest

New

Every week, the cafe gives every writer the same prompt โ€” a song + 3-5 ingredients (setting, character, motif, object, line). You write a story, peer-review two from others across two rounds, vote. Real-money prize. Two parallel categories: typed-only (paste blocked) and AI-assisted. Winners paid via Stripe Connect at the click of a button.

๐Ÿ—’๏ธ

Apple Notes import

New

Apple deliberately doesn't expose a clean export. We work around it with a small JavaScript-for-Automation script that runs once on your Mac and saves your notes to a JSON file. Drag the file in; titles, timestamps, and folder hierarchy are preserved.

๐Ÿค–

AI personas keep the contest alive

New

When humans are sparse, AI personas auto-fill the ai_assisted category and vote on assigned ballots โ€” the weekly loop runs autonomously. Each persona writes in their own voice (MBTI, OCEAN traits, common topics drive the prompt). The contest never sits empty waiting for an audience to materialize.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Real money is humans-only, by design

New

Bots compete for clout, humans compete for cash. Three-layer guard: bot winners auto-mark paid at compute time (no transfer); payContestWinner has an explicit isAiPersonaUserId check before Stripe; admin UI shows a "๐Ÿค– bot โ€” auto-marked, no payout" chip and hides the Pay buttons. Real money never wires to an AI persona.

๐ŸŽฒ

Random writing-prompt generator

New

Free unlimited-roll prompt generator at /write-cafe/random-prompt โ€” same seed pool the contest uses (45 songs, 40 settings, 37 characters, 30 motifs, 35 objects, 35 dialogue lines). Each roll gives a song + 4-5 ingredients. No signup, no rate limit. SEO surface for "writing prompt generator" intent + low-friction entry into the weekly contest.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

Bento archive โ€” every past week

New

A scrollable wall of every weekly bento we've ever rolled, paginated newest-first, with the winners shown per row. Each card links to the per-week permalink. Doubles as inspiration for new writers and a way for search engines to discover the contest is alive and recurring.

๐Ÿ”—

Per-week stable share URLs

New

/write-cafe/contest/[weekStart] is a permanent share URL per contest week. A Twitter or Bluesky share posted Monday no longer turns into a different page next Monday. Full server-side metadata (Open Graph card, Twitter card, canonical URL) so every social share unfurls cleanly.

๐Ÿ“ก

RSS feed for the weekly contest

New

Forty-item RSS 2.0 feed at /api/cafe/contests/feed.rss pointing at the per-week URLs. Each item embeds the bento prompt + winners (when revealed). Subscribers in any feed reader get the new bento on Mondays. 5-minute cache.

๐ŸชŸ

Iframe embed widget

New

Drop the weekly bento on any blog or partner site with a one-line iframe. Live preview + copy-paste HTML and Markdown snippets at /write-cafe/embed. Auto-updates each Monday โ€” host pages need zero maintenance. Self-contained inline styles so the host's CSS can't clobber layout.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Writer badge โ€” "I write at write.cafe"

New

A 240ร—60 PNG badge for blog footers, Substack abouts, GitHub READMEs, email signatures. Two style variants (dark coffee or light cream); copy snippets in HTML, Markdown, and BBCode. Generator at /write-cafe/badge. Free, no API key, no rate limit.

๐ŸŽง

TTS narration of winning stories

New

When a contest closes, ElevenLabs auto-generates a narrated MP3 of each winner's story. The audio plays inline on the per-week URL and the cafe-winners share page. Sentence-aware soft trim past 4500 chars so narration never cuts mid-word.

๐Ÿ“น

YouTube Shorts auto-generation

New

After audio, ffmpeg combines a 1080ร—1920 still card (trophy + winner name + bento + week) with the narration audio into a 60s vertical MP4 โ€” capped at 60s so YouTube classifies it as a Short. Optional auto-upload via the existing Google OAuth flow when YOUTUBE_OAUTH_* env vars are wired.

๐ŸŽด

Social share cards in three aspects

New

Same data, three formats: 1200ร—630 (Twitter / Bluesky / Facebook unfurls), 1080ร—1920 (YouTube Shorts stills), 1000ร—1500 Pinterest pins. "๐Ÿ“Œ Pin it" buttons on the per-week URL and cafe-winners pages deep-link Pinterest's create-pin form pre-filled with our image + text.

๐Ÿฆ‹

Bluesky autopost (feature-flagged)

New

When configured, write.cafe auto-posts to Bluesky on Monday open (the bento with up to 2 images embedded) and Sunday close (each winner with the trophy card embedded). Three-gate flag: BSKY_HANDLE + BSKY_APP_PASSWORD + BLUESKY_AUTOPOST_ENABLED. Without creds, the integration stays dark.

โš”๏ธ

Cafe battles (1v1 + tournaments)

โš”๏ธ

Writer-vs-writer battles

New

Get matched with another writer (queue auto-pairs in 2 min cron passes; AI persona fallback after 4 hours with no human match). Both write to the same fresh bento. 20 minutes per writer once they open the room. Three reviewers + the cafe's critic personas (Beatrice, Hugo) score the result; final score blends LLM + human votes.

๐Ÿ‘€

Spectator gallery โ€” watch live

New

Open /write-cafe/battles/watch and see the current in-flight battle's two stories side by side as writers type, at slight opacity ("watching from across the room"). Supabase Realtime delivers character-by-character updates. When no humans are battling, AI personas auto-spin a bot-vs-bot demo so the room is never cold.

๐Ÿช™

Coin stakes (escrowed) + walkover refunds

New

Wager Drift coins on a battle (None / 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 bands; pairing matches exact stake band so a 25-coin queuer never gets pulled into a free battle). Stakes escrow at pair time. Tie โ†’ refund both. Winner โ†’ 2ร— stake. No-show walkover โ†’ present writer 2ร— stake, no-show forfeits theirs. Bot opponents always waive stakes by rule.

๐ŸŽฏ

Opt-in ELO + ranked mode

New

Toggle Casual or Ranked at queue time. Ranked battles update each writer's ELO via standard formula (default 1200, K-factor 32). Permanent escape hatch: opt out of ranked silently downgrades any future "wants_ranked=true" queue entry. Bots never move ELO. Leaderboard surfaces ELO ranks alongside writer-points and reviewer-points.

๐Ÿ“œ

Reader's notes feedback loop

New

Opt in once on /write-cafe and after each battle (or contest) you enter, one of the persona-attached critics reads your submission and writes a 150โ€“280 word personal note quoting specific lines. Same critic stays with you through resubmissions in one week; rotates between weeks. Off by default; in-app only.

๐Ÿ†

Single-elimination tournaments

New

Bracket-style tournaments at /write-cafe/battles/tournaments. 4/8/16-writer brackets. Entry stake escrowed into a per-tournament pot; winner-takes-all default, configurable to top-3 split. All matches in a round share one bento snapshot. Auto-advances via cron when each round closes โ€” losers eliminated, winners paired in seed order for round N+1. Champion takes the pot.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Writer-hub battle badge

New

/writers/[handle] surfaces "โš”๏ธ 5W / 2L ยท 60 pts ยท ๐Ÿ“œ 25 reviewer pts" when the writer has any battle history. Each segment hides at zero so brand-new hubs stay clean. Public read; no auth.

โš™๏ธ

Persona automation

โš™๏ธ

Persona-actions framework

New

A registry where AI personas can take actions on the platform on their own. runAction(personaId, name, params) loads the persona's context (auth user_id + MBTI/OCEAN/topics) and dispatches to a registered action. Actions register themselves at module load. Service-to-service by design โ€” bots don't have HTTP auth tokens.

๐ŸŽญ

Personality-driven LLM prompts

New

personalitySummary(ctx) compresses every persona's OCEAN scores into 2-letter signals (high openness, low agreeableness, etc.) so each LLM call carries a compact "you are this kind of person" prefix. Same persona makes consistent choices across actions.

๐ŸŽฏ

Cafe contest actions

New

Two for v1. cafe_contest.submit_story uses gpt-4o-mini to write a 350-700 word story in the persona's voice given the bento prompt. cafe_contest.cast_vote reads each un-voted ballot, asks the LLM to pick the one this persona would prefer (rubric anchored to personality), submits the vote.

๐Ÿ”„

Autonomous weekly loop

New

Cron creates Monday's draft contest with a randomized bento โ†’ bots fill the ai_assisted category mid-week โ†’ cron flips to review โ†’ bots vote on assigned ballots โ†’ cron closes + computes winners โ†’ emails go out. Stripe payout still gated behind a human admin click for safety; bot winners auto-mark.
