SanitySoftware

uses

I wanted to move clairevo.com off WordPress and make it easy for both me and my agents to write here. We had already built the new notebook in Next.js. I had Codex connect it to Sanity, import eight journal entries and twelve workflows, and deploy it to Vercel.

uses

Codex handled the extraction and layout, then emailed both PDFs to my Kindle after I confirmed the destination. It turned the materials I already had into a reference pack suited to the device I wanted to use.

CodexSoftware OpenAI

Codex set up the fields, branches, and message variables in the browser. The goal is for someone to get a lead they can act on without first having to dig through the CRM.

The Divoom MiniToo is a little pixel display that can sit on my desk, so I asked Codex to give my agents a way to send updates to it.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
