Gen-1 Origin

Why we did this

The page histories began at our first design mock-ups, but the product really began earlier, as a quick prototype Devin built in June, with almost no pictures left.

What happened

Fifteen page histories now open with that prototype: six screenshots recovered from old code history, and fifteen new ones from rebuilding it and feeding it replayed activity.

  2. 2

    Rebuilt from its old code and fed replayed activity, the prototype shows every screen full instead of empty.

Also in this cycle
  • Nine of the prototype's fifteen screens had no surviving picture until now. New in this cycle
  • The prototype is labelled as an origin, not a cycle, and each picture keeps the date of the state it shows. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c97-D1 Do both: import the six recovered screenshots now, and rebuild the prototype populated as its own thread. — Mark Parson

So now

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c97-D2 Rebuild from the June 30 pull request commit that matches the recovered screenshots. — Mark Parson

c97-D3 Fill it with replayed events first, with real runs only as a fallback. — Mark Parson

So now

Rebuilt from its old code and fed replayed activity, the prototype shows every screen full instead of empty.

Built the prototype the histories now start from

His single-file dashboard from June was the product's first form; this cycle recovered its screenshots and rebuilt his code to photograph every screen.

Asked for the prototype in the record

"I'd love to have the initial prototype that Devin vibe coded added to some of these." He chose to do both: import the recovered screenshots and rebuild it populated.
