Operator inbox features
- Auto-refresh every 60s (meta-refresh)
- 5 summary cells: intent count, feedback count, Stripe webhooks, fulfillments, last-7-days bar chart
- Timeline of latest 300 events with: relative time, kind pill (color-coded by tier/sentiment), slug link, detail (email/note/sentiment/usefulness), copy-email button, "mint+email" hint button
- Auto-filters test entries (visual gray-out)
- Status tracking via localStorage in
/admin/captures/ (separate page) - that data persists across refreshes - Repair queue summary in header
- Studio numbers in header (product count, cost, tick number)
Daily digest features
When this fires at 7am, Wes's morning starts with:
- TL;DR with 6 numbers (intents, feedback, fulfillments, Stripe events, fresh products, completeness)
- Per-intent listing (timestamp, slug, tier, email, note)
- Per-product intent counts (top 10)
- Feedback listings with sentiment/usefulness/excerpts
- Fresh-products list (last 24h)
- Studio numbers (product count, cost, tick)
- Action items section (calls out unanswered intents + negative feedback)
Both markdown (sharable) and HTML versions emit. The HTML page has a nav bar linking to inbox/captures/digest/repair/home.
Categories cluster pages
- 18 categories live: sales-motion, finance, legal, healthcare, agency, hospitality, trades, hr-recruiting, ecommerce, education, field-service, customer-success, devops-saas, developer-tools, content, real-estate, general-saas, nonprofit, compliance
- Each has a blurb describing the buyer profile + a count + a top-Adoptability call-out
- Per-category page renders all products in that category as cards, sorted by Adoptability descending
- SEO-friendly canonical URLs and meta descriptions
- Index page ranks categories by product count
Shareable shortlist (compare page)
- New "Share shortlist" button next to "Clear shortlist"
- Click → copies
https://wishdeal.com/factory/compare/?slugs=a,b,c (with current shortlist) - When loaded with
?slugs=..., page reads URL param + merges into localStorage - Lets a buyer email "here are 5 I'm considering" to a colleague who can open the link and see the same comparison
What's now better for buyers
- Wes opens one URL (
/factory/admin/inbox/) and sees every ops event - no more digging through JSONLs. - Daily digest at 7am lands in the same admin tree; Wes can save it to email + paste to Slack.
- Buyers can navigate by category, not just search/filter - lower-friction discovery for buyers who know "I want a sales-motion idea."
- Shortlists are shareable - low-effort viral mechanic. Buyer A sends URL to buyer B; B opens with shortlist pre-filled.
- The whole admin surface (inbox + captures + repair-queue + daily-digest) is unified under
/factory/admin/* - cleaner mental model for Wes.
What still needs work
- Stripe wiring - infrastructure 100% ready; needs Wes's API keys.
- Email-send integration - SendGrid or Postmark.
- Hero polish next batch - top 11-20 in progress; top 21-30 next iter.
- Vanilla product mop-up - 11 still wear studio defaults (their templates don't have
</head> for our injection; need a different injection point). - Per-product reading time + word count would be a nice catalog enhancement.
Next 5 recommended autonomous tasks
- Stripe wiring when Wes provides keys.
- Continue hero polish on next 10 (
hero-polish-cli.py 30). - Vanilla mop-up with a different injection strategy (just replace the existing brand-related CSS vars in-place rather than appending).
- Sub-page generator - 106 products lack pricing sub-pages, similar gap in case-studies. Same template-from-existing-data pattern.
- First-real-traffic audit - once Wes shares the catalog URL with anyone, intent captures will spike. Make sure the operator inbox handles 100+ events well.
