Year of the ZABAL Day 182
Day 1 of the second half of the year of the zabal
ZM.
day one of building on ZABAL Gamez.
started a new repo this morning and had it live by tonight. the ZABAL Newsletter Builder. it turns our wins into a daily post in our own voice, three at a time.
the idea is simple. we ship so much that never gets said out loud. this tool does the boring parts so the saying-it-out-loud actually happens. a pipeline of what to write next. a composer that grades every draft against our voice. Farcaster and X versions in one click. and it reads the whole series back to print or export.
built in the open, one improvement at a time. thirteen passes today, each one shipped live before the next. that is the whole point of ZABAL Gamez. small moves, out loud, every day.
what a submission looks like, day one was thirteen of them:
a page that grades your writing voice
a Cmd+K jump-anywhere palette
Farcaster and X versions of any post
a print-and-export view of the whole series
cloud sync, a ship streak, editable issues
none of those took all day. each one was one small, shippable move. that is the bar. a fix, a button, a line of copy, a test, a cleaner README. open a pull request. that is a submission.
pick any project in the lab and add one thing. zlank, wwbase, channelz, zpoidh, ZAOscout, this one. all here: github.com/bettercallzaal
