I am never going to open a journal app and write "today this happened." I know this about myself with absolute certainty. Every journaling app I have tried — Day One, Notion, Apple Journal, plain text files — assumes the user will voluntarily sit down and compose an entry. That assumption is the entire reason they fail for me. pwyslais starts from the opposite premise: I will not write unless something asks me to. ...
islet has one user. pwyslais has one user. llywio has one user. ira has one user. I am that user. This is not a limitation — it is the design constraint that makes everything else possible. The advantage When you build for one person, every decision collapses into a question you can answer immediately: does this work for me? Not “does this work for most users” or “will this confuse new signups” or “should we A/B test this.” Does it work for me, right now, on my hardware, with my constraints. ...
I raced 195 times in January. Then islet happened. February dropped to 23 races. March, so far, 16. My iRating has cratered. My incident count is embarrassing.

Average finish: P18. Average incidents per race in March: 6.7. That P46 was a 13th Week Track Day in a Mercedes-AMG GT4 at VIR where I completed precisely zero competitive laps. The P2 at Okayama? Probably the only clean race in the batch. ...
