Highlights & Key Activities

• Health & Recovery

  • 4/30 – 5/5: Stomach issues (likely norovirus); vomiting on 4/30, weak appetite, very light eating, slow recovery.
  • 5/5 (Tuesday night): Able to eat more substantial meals.
  • 5/6 (Wednesday afternoon): Fully back to normal energy and appetite; resumed work in the afternoon.

• Continuum Development

  • Identity & Artifact Work
    • 5/6 onward: Worked on importing and listing PGP and Bitcoin identities.
    • Built a full ZIP-packaged output for all attestations using “Sign Existing Artifact” workflow (Bitcoin + PGP).
    • Added support for Nostr signing and proof attestations (separate from standard event signing).
    • 5/8: Added SSH identities and “Verify Signed Artifact Bundle” functionality.
  • UI Improvements
    • Cleaned up identity and artifact workflow interfaces for clarity and consistency.
    • Improved workflow visibility for signing, verification, and multi-identity management.

• Calls & Collaboration

  • 5/8 (Friday morning, 9–11 AM): Very productive Zoom call with Andrew Lunde; discussed identity flows, artifact verification, and overall Continuum development priorities.

• Ideas & Security

  • Continued discussions on workspace encryption at rest.
  • Considered secure storage for SaaS credentials while respecting signing identities.

Notes & Reflections

• After recovery, work focused on solidifying the artifact signing, verification, and proof attestation ecosystem.
• Multi-identity support (Bitcoin, PGP, SSH, Nostr proofs) is now robust and packaged for easy export.
• UI polish ensures workflows are clear, reducing friction for signing, verification, and proof workflows.
• Collaboration with another developer provided clarity and actionable next steps.

Next Steps

• Finalize workspace encryption / vault concept.
• Continue refining verification tools (verify_event and verify_bundle) for browser-based use.
• Plan for Lightning/sats integration and multi-identity publishing flows.
• Maintain steady health while progressing on security and UI polish.
