PAD — Page A Day

365 daily context pages a year.

A daily generated page that fuses personal usage data, project context, industry news, AI updates, and world context into one structured digest. Builds a yearly journal as a side effect.

  • 5 context streams aggregated
  • Same shape every day
  • 365 pages a year, evergreen
Why

Context decays fast. PAD freezes one structured snapshot per day — personal, project, industry, AI, world — so a year later you can still reconstruct the room you were standing in.

How
  • Aggregate 5 streams via NotebookLM + RSS + Claude Code usage
  • Render to the same fixed shape every day
  • Persist to disk + Mongo for retrieval

FAQ
What happens if one of the five streams isn't available that day?
PAD degrades gracefully — the render proceeds with whichever streams returned and notes the gap inline. Yesterday's slot backfills the missing block so the daily shape stays intact.
How long does a full PAD run take end to end?
Under 3 minutes from cron-fire to persisted page on a typical day. Heavier industry days (paper drops, model releases) can push to 5 minutes; the bottleneck is research, not render.
Can I retrieve and search past PADs?
Every page is upserted to MongoDB AIDB.DAILY keyed by date, plus a full-text Markdown copy on disk. Both are queryable, and the year-end build merges them into a single yearly journal.
In production
  • 365 daily PADs / year

    One structured page every day — five context streams aggregated into a fixed daily shape.

  • Year-end journal

    365 PADs compile into a yearly journal — frozen daily context becomes a personal + business record.

  • <3 min render

    Cron-fire to persisted page in under three minutes on a typical day; ~5 min on heavy industry days.
