What this is. A running record of what we are building and learning, updated every week. It is meant to be skimmable: every entry follows the same template, so you always know where to look for what shipped, what we learned, and what is next.

How to read an entry

Every weekly entry has the same five sections:
1

Summary

Two or three sentences. If you read nothing else, read this.
2

What we shipped

Concrete progress this week, tied to a build milestone where possible.
3

What we learned

Findings from interviews, experiments, or the work itself. Often the most useful part for a shipyard reader.
4

Blockers & open questions

What is slowing us down or still undecided. We keep this honest.
5

Next week

What we are focused on next.

Entries

Week of June 2, 2026

The most recent update.
Adding a new week: copy the most recent entry file, rename it (for example week-of-jun-09.mdx), update the five sections, and add it to the top of the 2026 group in docs.json. Keep newest first.

Research log vs. blog

This log is the specifics of our work, week by week. Our blog is for longer narrative articles and argument (like the founding essay). When in doubt: progress updates go here; essays and opinion go on the blog.
