build log2026-09-30Building Wakii in the open — log #4The fourth log of building Wakii in the open: twenty longform posts written with their own editorial framework — a matrix locked in advance, a word-band lint, a claims registry — closed by PR #3, then an integration pass after the merge.7 min readread→build log2026-09-30Building Wakii in the open — log #3The third log of building Wakii in the open: story FI-349 redesigned the entire blog — category taxonomy, a two-locale article surface, hero tiles, hreflang — and closed as a single PR. With a sourced before/after comparison.7 min readread→build log2026-09-07Building Wakii in the open — log #1The first log of building Wakii: FI-305 ships story view and gates to mobile, release 1.4.199 is out, and the blog you're reading is itself a running story.2 min readread→build log2026-09-07Building Wakii in the open — log #2The second log of building Wakii in the open: the blog grows from 10 to 30 posts through two stories sharing one parity gate, plus the numbers as of the writing date — releases, skills, story CLIs — every number sourced so you can rerun it.7 min readread→build log2026-09-04Wakii in production: hub-storehub-store, a warehouse-operations platform, is built end to end with Wakii's story workflow — and every process trace (brackets, specs, plans) is public on GitHub. This post walks the project's seven-bracket journey; each GitHub link carries a verbatim quote so you can diff the words against the real files.8 min readread→build log2026-09-03Case study: this blog is itself a storyThe blog you are reading was built with the same story workflow its posts describe — and the evidence sits in a public repo. This post opens the machinery up: a parity gate wired into the build, an OG contract pinned as a comment on the code, and a single PR closing the first story.7 min readread→build log2026-09-02Two releases in one day — cadence falls out of the processOn September 5, Wakii's public release history recorded two releases and one Android pre-release in a single day.
