# ingestion log

## 2026-04-10 — initial ingestion

**sources processed:** 137 files across 3 origins
- ideaflow: 110 files (tagged #projectidea, #newprojectidea, #bigprojectidea)
- apple-notes: 20 files (Archived/build folder + archived root)
- obsidian: 7 files (home/ideas/ folder)

**pages created:** 74 idea pages, 8 cluster pages, 1 index

**ideas by status:**
- built: 6 (OnCue, Pause, convo-flow, connection hub, precision description engine, keystroke music)
- explored: 10 (brain rewinder, sensor capturer, smell resetter, universal habits, axon, learning suite, discord connections mapper, referral hiring, always-on AI assistant, universal agentic searcher)
- raw: 58

**merges performed:**
- brain rewinder: ideaflow + apple-notes potential-projects
- sensor capturer: ideaflow + apple-notes sensor-capturer + build-notes
- universal habits: 6 ideaflow notes + apple-notes potential-projects
- learning suite: 3 ideaflow notes + apple-notes potential-projects
- discord connections mapper: 4 ideaflow notes (linked notes chain)
- universal data capturer: ideaflow + apple-notes potential-projects
- oncue: apple-notes oncue + tellwell
- wifi client: apple-notes + ideaflow
- several others merged with apple-notes potential-projects-archived (which contained strikethrough copies of ideaflow ideas)

**clusters identified:**
1. memory and context tools (9 ideas)
2. social network and connections (7 ideas)
3. learning and education (10 ideas)
4. habits and productivity (8 ideas)
5. AI tooling and research (10 ideas)
6. hardware and wearables (8 ideas)
7. hiring and work tools (7 ideas)
8. search and discovery (6 ideas)

**obsidian sources:**
- song.md: merged into keystroke-music (AI songwriting interest)
- motivation.md: standalone page (motivation-education)
- disconnection_between_generations.md: standalone page (generational-disconnect)
- game_ideas.md: merged into task-optimization-game
- domain_names.md: not ingested (list of domain name ideas, no project concept)
- phone_shortcuts.md: not ingested (personal shortcuts, not a project idea)
- WRC_stuff.md: not ingested (website maintenance tasks, not an idea)

**notes:**
- apple-notes potential-projects-archived.md contained strikethrough copies of many ideaflow notes, confirming those ideas were moved from apple notes to ideaflow
- many ideaflow notes reference linked notes by ID (e.g., [linked note: JMXS1vOOYr]) — these were matched to other ideaflow notes by ideaflow_id and merged accordingly

## 2026-04-10 — google sheets ideas ingestion

**source processed:** sources/google-sheets-ideas.md (645 lines, 4 tabs)
- project_ideas: ~85 ideas with originality/excitement scores, MVP estimates, competitive analysis
- ranked_by_tech_depth: same ideas ranked by technical depth with tier labels (DO THIS, STRONG, WRONG FIT, ARCHIVE)
- Blue Ocean Analysis: 12 ideas evaluated for market positioning
- best: harrison's curated top picks

**summary created:** wiki/summaries/google-sheets-ideas.md

**existing pages enriched with spreadsheet data:** 38 pages
- added originality scores, excitement scores, MVP time estimates, competitive landscape analysis, tech depth rankings, tier labels, and blue ocean positioning
- data added as "spreadsheet evaluation" blocks in compiled truth sections + timeline entries

**new pages created:** 16 ideas not present in other sources
- acoustic-drone-detection (DO THIS, tech depth 9/10, EMERGING)
- spec-driven-dev (DO THIS, tech depth 8/10, RED OCEAN)
- ui-flow (8/10 originality, 9/10 excitement)
- hard-docs-writer (STRONG, tech depth 7/10)
- eeg-artifact-rejection (NEAR BLUE, high feasibility)
- symbolic-regression (EMERGING, high feasibility)
- context-window-optimizer (EMERGING, medium feasibility)
- cognitive-foom (STRONG, tech depth 9/10)
- predictive-maintenance-sensors (STRONG, tech depth 8/10)
- ppg-biomarker-wearable (best picks list)
- embedding-tone-interpolation (best picks list)
- robotic-arm-assistant (WRONG FIT, needs scoping)
- conversations-recorded (content/community concept)
- culture-fingerprint (visualization concept)
- math-dopamine (WRONG FIT, content/product focus)
- school-third-space (community design concept)

**key findings from spreadsheet:**
- top 5 [DO THIS] tier: acoustic drone detection, BCI/read-imprinting device, agent-based simulation, spec-driven dev kit, personalized medicine
- highest excitement (10/10): brain rewinder, articulate/precision description engine
- only true BLUE OCEAN: N-of-1 causal inference engine (personalized medicine variant)
- NEAR BLUE with high feasibility: EEG artifact rejection, content quality scorer
- best picks emphasize: audio classification on MCUs, smell necklace, data selling, embedding interpolation, computer optimizer, PPG sensors
