Today

  1. Weekly review (15 minutes): answer the three questions per product at the end of this doc → every key result. The answers go under ## Review here, and each chosen change is filed with an owner and a review date.
  2. Read one followed-show summary in Show Notes 1.4.0 on your phone (SN-57) → S1 (strangers who read a summary of a show they follow). The event that counts S1 has not fired once since 1.4.0 went live. This is probably because nobody has read a summary on that build, but nothing proves the event works. It must work before 1.5.0 opens the S1 window.

Pet Med Reminder has no task. Its cycle work is 1.12.0, which is in the review queue. The outreach and the ad test wait for 1.12.0 to go live, by an earlier decision. Paroletta has no task. Its first-guess fix is live on web and iOS, and the new arrivals show it: no first-visit how-to screen has fired since the fix.

Since yesterday

  • Pet Med Reminder 1.11.0 was withdrawn from review. Its Care Item Editor had no time picker, so no dose time could be set. 1.12.0 replaced it and is in review. 1.12.0 makes the round of doses the unit: one notification and one tap per round, a catch-up screen, and reminders that do not stop after 48 hours. It also carries the editor fix, so P3’s graded population starts with 1.12.0.
  • Two custom App Store product pages for Pet Med Reminder are in review with 1.12.0, for a message test after launch.
  • Show Notes 1.5.0 was submitted Sept 27. It carries the first win before sign-in, the caught-up screen and the new store page.
  • The Paroletta first-guess fix is reaching players: since the release, no web or iOS arrival was shown the how-to screen on first visit.
