What I actually did today

• Refactored button components to use central barrel exports — moved all button-related components to a more organized structure with centralized imports, verified that all buttons still work correctly after the refactor. This improves code maintainability and makes it easier to import button components throughout the project without hunting through multiple directories.
• Updated testing approach based on modern best practices — learned that Jest snapshot tests generate "useless noise" and are no longer considered best practice. Shifted to using Storybook for visual testing and unit tests for logic/behavior instead. Updated agents.md with new testing guidelines to prevent the team from writing brittle snapshot tests going forward.
• Adopted CN utility for class name composition — replaced template literal class concatenation with the CN utility throughout button components. This provides better handling of conditional classes, automatic Tailwind conflict resolution, and cleaner code without nested template literals. Added this as a coding preference rule.
• Extracted hard-coded colors to Tailwind config — moved inline color values to proper Tailwind theme tokens, simplified nested conditionals in component styling, and fixed type assertions in icon cloning logic. This makes the design system more consistent and easier to maintain.
• Set up Docker container development environment — configured devcontainer with Docker volumes for better I/O performance, created a new volume specifically for the web app, and successfully got the container running. This provides a consistent development environment and eliminates "works on my machine" issues.
• Merged multiple PRs — merged button refactor PR, merged PR with new unit tests (removed many useless snapshot tests), worked on finishing the recording/bubble PR. Spent significant time addressing code review feedback and resolving merge conflicts.
• Fixed coding preferences command parsing issues — updated the "update coding preferences" command to avoid parsing errors that were disrupting the development workflow.
• Updated Opus model configuration — noted changes where OPUS-specific caps were removed and overall usage limits were increased, with Sonnet now having its own separate limit.
• Coordinated Chrome extension and web app integration strategy — participated in multiple engineering syncs discussing how to centralize summary generation in the web app. The Chrome extension will be simplified to just record meetings and pass meeting IDs to the web app, which will handle transcript fetching and summary generation. This architectural simplification aims to reduce code duplication and increase development velocity.
• Worked on template selector UI for web app — implemented template selector functionality with different UI states, made padding and radius adjustments per design feedback, and added support for custom templates. This will help users generate text more efficiently with pre-defined templates.
• Implemented URL parameter feature for extension-to-web-app flow — set up the meeting page to accept meeting IDs as URL parameters, allowing the Chrome extension to redirect users directly to the relevant meeting page with editable summaries. This reduces the number of clicks needed to access editing functionality.
• Refactored sidebar component (3,000+ lines) — broke down a massive sidebar file into more manageable pieces to improve code maintainability and reduce cognitive load when working with that code.
• Improved memory loading performance by 40x — worked with Claude on a PR that dramatically improves memory list loading performance through optimization. Need to test this with a large dataset (100,000 memories) to verify it works at scale.
• Set up shared NPM package for coding standards — started creating an NPM package (or sub-git) to distribute cursor rules, ESLint configs, and shared scripts across the web app and Chrome extension repositories. This will make it easier to maintain consistent coding standards across the team.
• Participated in Gemini 3.0 migration planning — team prioritized rolling out the Gemini 3 preview build as the highest priority, with extensive testing planned on a dedicated staging branch and new GCP server setup with CI/CD.
• Discussed new homepage and onboarding flows — worked on planning the new unified homepage for Chrome extension, Android, and iOS, including file upload and YouTube link ingestion capabilities. Data ingestion endpoint is being built first to properly associate uploads with user IDs.
• Fixed recording issues and added safeguards — addressed bugs with the recording bubble functionality, added better error handling and safeguards to prevent crashes when recordings fail.
• Implemented PostHog for analytics — set up PostHog integration on the web app, which was surprisingly easy (took about 30 seconds with their AI-assisted setup). This will replace some of the functionality we were using Firebase Remote Config and Amplitude for.
• Tested Opus 4.5 extensively — spent significant time testing the new Opus 4.5 model for various coding tasks, found it performs exceptionally well for UI generation and complex refactoring work. The model is more token-efficient than previous Claude models.
