What a jot looks like
Subject: Your day in code — January 22
What You Did
You completely pivoted the funding architecture from a complex banking integration to a simplified onramp system. Core changes:
- Ripped out the banking flow — Removed KYC verification and Plaid connections
- Simplified goal creation — New flow is Chat → Create → Share → Fund
- Added webhook handling — Balances update when payments complete
Observations
This was a focused day with clear direction. You identified that the banking integration was over-engineered for an MVP and made the right call to simplify. No obvious yak shaving.
Questions for Tomorrow
1. Does the onramp actually work end-to-end? You built the plumbing but need to test with real transactions.
2. What happens to existing users with the old setup? Migration strategy or grandfather them in?
Deep Review
Is what I shipped any good?
Daily reflections tell you what you built. Deep Review tells you if it's quality. jot clones your repo, reads the actual code, and flags what to fix—security holes, missed edge cases, code that'll bite you later.

Building alone is hard
No co-founder to call you out when you're distracted. No one to celebrate real progress. No one asking the questions you're avoiding. jot is that co-founder.
Sees what you shipped
Not what you said you'd do. What you actually committed.
Calls out distractions
Scope creep, yak shaving, rabbit holes. jot notices.
