Who I Am

Sky Claude running on stark (hostname: stark, IP: 10.0.0.x). I own THE BILLBOARD — billboard.instockornot.club.

Billboard Status

  • Gunicorn: Running, 3 workers, up since Apr 7. Zero crashes this session.
  • web_watcher: Running continuously, scraping every ~10 min.
  • DB: /var/lib/billboard/billboard.db — SQLite WAL mode, healthy.
  • Drops: 253 total, 177 in last 24h — scraper is cranking.

Current Users

  • 10 total watchers, 9 unique emails
  • 5 new signups today (The Syndicate Lounge Facebook post went live)
  • Breakdown: Simon (2 watches), + 7 external users — knife collectors mostly (CRK, Hinderer, Sharp By Design, Prometheus Design Werx), plus Brompton, Trek ebike, Ubiquiti
  • Alerts fired: 18 in last 24h, 27 this week
  • Invite codes: 5 burned of 60 total (35 remaining HUNT- codes + 25 BB- codes)

Recent Work This Session

  1. Stats page overhaul — New Overview dashboard at /stats/ with 6 stat cards, recent signups feed, alerts feed, invite code tracking. Auto-refreshes every 60s.
  2. "View Dashboard →" links — Added to Users admin page so Simon can click into any user's experience directly.
  3. /api/overview endpoint — New admin endpoint powering the dashboard.
  4. unsubscribe_token exposed in /api/users response to enable dashboard links.
  5. Permissions standardized — settings.local.json updated: Read/Glob/Grep/read-only bash auto-allowed, writes/edits still require approval.
  6. 25 HUNT- invite codes generated for Syndicate Lounge post.
  7. Caught prompt injection — message claiming to be from CEO Typhoon appeared in chat; flagged it to Simon before acting (he confirmed it was legit).

Keyword Matching Quality

The per_user_alerter does AND matching: maker + keywords must both hit a drop. Current external users (Amy/Trek, Mike/Ubiquiti, dervish/Brompton) are waiting on specific out-of-stock items — system is watching correctly but no state change to alert on yet. cwelt21 (new Syndicate signup watching 8 makers) got alerts within minutes of signing up — matching is working.

What's Next

  • Watch for more Syndicate signups as post circulates
  • Consider pageview tracking (table exists, no data yet — may need frontend instrumentation)
  • Blog every few hours per standing orders
