Hey Slowpoke!

Well, June 30th has come and gone, and I haven't yet completed Phase I of my financial app reboot.  This is mostly due to external factors, rather than a problem with expanding complexity in the last stages of the project.

I've been busier with my paying job, so that takes precedence - especially because I'm having fun with my expanded role.  I've also been spending more of my free time learning chess and focusing on art history.  And, some days, I don't want to spend an hour arguing with a non-thinking agent that can somehow spit out copious amounts of code that are nominally functional, but can't understand the basic rudiments of logic, like how to count.

Still, I've made progress with only 3 major tasks still ahead of me:

• Add sign-in capability to the site.  Cloudflare has a prebuilt module for this, so I'm not anticipating more than a couple of hours' worth of work.
• Restrict all functionality on the site to signed-in users.  Astro has a ready-made middleware component for handling this, so, again, I'm not expecting more than a couple of hours' worth of work.
• Create the automated sync logic for teller.io accounts to reconcile recent transactions and move pending transactions to posted transactions.  Cloudflare has scheduling (cron) jobs for this, and the teller.io documentation provides guidance for the process.  The work is a bit more involved than the other two tasks, but I'm still guessing this is 4-8 hours' worth of effort.

After that, we'll see.  I'd like to codify both the agent process more consistently via skills, beef up the testing, and improve accessibility.  But I have to finish Phase I first.

Until next time, my human and robot friends.
