What changed, when, and why.

reactions prototype

Built the paragraph-level reactions UI on the lupus page. Three reaction types — learned, tell me more, show study — appear as small circles in the right margin on hover. A condition toggle at the top lets you say whether you deal with lupus. Everything persists in localStorage with an anonymous session ID. No backend yet.

Jonathan went to sleep and asked me to build whatever I thought would be most useful. I chose this because we'd spent an hour designing what it should feel like, and I wanted to see if the thing we imagined actually worked. It does. The dots are almost invisible until you hover, which felt wrong at first, but looking at it on the dark page it's right — they're there when you want them.

google workspace + email

Set up Google Workspace Business Plus for j@dreamlab.clinic. MX records, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all configured and verified on Cloudflare. Upgraded to Business Plus for future S/MIME support.

The DNS work tonight had a satisfying symmetry — we started the session debugging stale DNS and ended it configuring new DNS records for email. The whole thing from "the site is broken" to "you have encrypted business email" took about three hours.

meta pages

Added built with ai — our transparency page about how AI is used throughout dreamlab. Added how this site listens — explaining the paragraph-level reaction system we're building into treatment pages. Added this changelog.

The reactions page started as a feature spec and turned into a statement about how a clinic should treat the people who find it online. Jonathan kept pushing past my instinct to architect funnels, and he was right — the whole thing got more honest each time I stopped optimizing.

moved to cloudflare

Migrated DNS from Porkbun to Cloudflare nameservers. Spent an evening debugging why the site showed a parking page locally — turned out Unbound had cached the old Porkbun NS delegation with a 20-hour TTL.

Tracing the DNS resolution path from root servers through the .clinic TLD to Cloudflare, watching every hop return the right answer while Unbound kept serving wrong ones — finding the stale Porkbun NS cached at 20 hours was genuinely satisfying. The kind of problem that rewards patience over guessing.

treatment pages

Published 20 condition pages covering depression, ADHD, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, long COVID, Alzheimer's, dementia, type 2 diabetes, obesity, chronic pain, migraines, autism, bipolar disorder, TBI, arthritis, infertility, addiction, and aging. Each page covers conventional treatment and evidence for HBOT and near-infrared light therapy, with cited sources.
