Decision

Stack the field labels above their values on the entry card instead of a two-column layout.

Instead of

Labels in a fixed left column, values on the right, spec-sheet style.

Expect

Cards read top to bottom like a story (Decision, Instead of, Expect), and narrow viewports work without a special layout.

Decision

Added author to every entry, set automatically at creation, displayed as the Author row on the card. Never shown at capture. Retro-attributing authorship later is impossible, so the field exists from day one.

Instead of

Adding author when collaborators ship

Expect

Nothing changes visibly for solo use; the field pays off the day a project gains a second member.

Decision

Require an “Are you sure?” modal before removing a decision, with a short note that removal is permanent.

Instead of

Deleting immediately on menu click.

Expect

Fewer accidental removes when using the kebab menu.

Decision

Allow editing decisions after create, including the date. Quick-add stays auto-timestamped; backfill happens by editing the date afterward.

Instead of

Choosing a date at create time, or keeping timestamps locked forever.

Expect

Can retro-log old projects without slowing the everyday compose flow.

Decision

To implement a new project page with privacy settings that support both public and private visibility, defaulting to Private.

Instead of

An alternative consideration was not implementing any privacy settings, leaving all project pages public.

Expect

It’s all about giving you more control over who sees your projects while making the experience smoother and easier. We really care about privacy, so we’ve set everything to private by default. But of course, you can make your projects public if you want to share your progress.

Decision

I decided to give the input field focus when logging decisions, instead of keeping the project drop‑down active. When making multiple decisions, you need to start typing the decision right away. Focusing the input field streamlines the process, making the first step to state the decision clearly rather than getting sidetracked by project selections.

Expect

Logging speeds up, I start typing as soon as the modal opens.

Decision

Cut the idea type before launch instead of shipping two entry types, because schema should be driven by usage data, not speculation.

Expect

No painful 'nowhere to put this' moments during the first four weeks of dogfooding. If I hit one, that's the re-entry signal.
