Tuesday started with a heavy lift in the adorna-ecommerce repo, and honestly, it was the only thing that mattered today. I spent the morning getting the visual assets into the codebase properly. That meant setting up Git LFS for the product images and screenshots. It was a bit of a chore pushing over 224 image files through the pipeline, but seeing the gallery actually populate with Gina’s work and the product shots makes the friction worth it. I also took the time to add the initial project structure, which was a massive commit of over 27,104 lines. That gave the whole site its skeleton, from the Docker configuration to the master plan documents.
With the skeleton in place, I shifted focus to the admin side of things. Security is not optional, so I added password protection to the admin panel. It was a quick addition to the AdminPage component, but it closes a critical gap. I also slipped in a simple admin link in the footer so the team can find the login page without digging through the DOM. To keep the chaos at bay for future me, I wrote up a CLAUDE.md file with project documentation. It lays out the context and rules so I don’t have to reconstruct the mental model every time I come back to this repo.
While Adorna was getting its body, I spent the afternoon tightening up the data infrastructure across the other three projects. It’s the same pattern every week: get the social profiles into the Data Intel catalogue. I updated lavora-lead-gen, magic-unicorn-outreach, and multistate-retirement-leads to send their social profile data to the Data Intel catalogue. It’s boring, repetitive work, but it keeps the enrichment pipelines fed. In multistate-retirement-leads, I also updated the CLI enrichment script to send social profiles to the Data Intel catalogue. These are the quiet maintenance tasks that keep the business running, even if they don’t make for exciting reading.
With the skeleton in place, I shifted focus to the admin side of things.
I wrapped up the day with 8 commits across 4 repos. The big win is clearly Adorna. It went from a concept to a functional site with images, docs, and a secured admin area. The rest was just plumbing, making sure the data moves correctly from the lead gen tools into the Data Intel catalogue. It was a solid day of building and fixing. The site looks good, the data flows, and I didn’t have to debug any dependency hell. That is a win.
