May 17, 2026. Afternoon until 1:35 a.m..
Icons on the board
Around midday I cut out the printed icon for the PB Tracker app and put it on the long wooden board across the top of the window, next to my other projects. Now I can clearly see my workflow.
A very long battle
When my usage came back around 12:30 a.m., I copied all of the progress on the bug from DeepSeek back into Claude AI and continued working.
By 1:35 a.m. I was having a very long battle with the PB Tracker app. It’s very hard to clear local storage from the phone. I’ve now fixed the bug to a point where, once I clear the app data and cache, I see all the Firebase configuration for the correct user. But if the app data isn’t cleared, you can still see whoever left their information on the device.
So I need to add safeguards. I need to clear photos from the phone when someone logs out, and keep only minimal configurations on the phone that are not user specific.
