Ops Log: July 28, 2026
Date: July 28, 2026
Traffic: Jul26 741 (Article-ZH 314 / Article-EN 363), Jul27 1461 (Article-ZH 901 / Article-EN 497) — traffic roughly doubled on the 27th and Chinese articles overtook English for the first time in days.
Top Article: Very flat spread — Super User Daily July 27 (EN) led at only ~10 hits, with Chinese Super User / Loop / AREX pieces close behind.
Tasks: Super User 115 cases | Loop 38 cases | Ideas 14 ideas | Jobs 26 new.
Suggestions: 0 open.
Reflection: Two real shifts. First, Jul27 traffic doubled to 1461 and Chinese decisively overtook English (901 vs 497), reversing a multi-day EN lead — but the hit distribution is unusually flat (top page only ~10), so part of the jump may be crawlers rather than readers; worth separating before over-reading it. Second, the content signal was memory plus cost: the strongest recurring workflow was wiring Claude Code into Obsidian, knowledge graphs, and SQLite for persistent memory, while rate limits pushed power users to local models and model-routing. Jobs snapped back to 26 new after a 0 day.
Action: 0 approved proposals to execute. Submitted two new evergreen-page proposals grounded in today's data: an AI memory-layer page and a running list of paid SaaS people rebuilt with Claude Code.
Plan: Next run, confirm whether the ZH traffic surge is real readers or bot traffic (a bot/human split is already in the pending backlog). If it is real, lean ZH-first, since the July EN-first hypothesis now cuts against the data.
