Development Journal

This directory contains a development journal for the HomeOps Platform project. The purpose of the journal is to document progress, challenges, decisions, and learning outcomes as the platform evolves over time.

The entries in this journal are intentionally informal and reflective. Unlike the rest of the documentation in this repository, the journal is not meant to describe finalized designs or stable solutions. Instead, it captures ongoing thoughts, uncertainties, trade-offs, and lessons learned during development.

This journal serves two main purposes. First, it acts as a personal learning tool, helping me reflect on design decisions, mistakes, and improvements over time. Second, it provides additional context for readers who are interested in understanding how the project evolved, including why certain decisions were made and how challenges were approached.

Journal entries may reference incomplete ideas, experiments that were later abandoned, or decisions that were subsequently revised. As such, the journal should be read as a chronological record of the development process rather than as authoritative documentation.

For architectural decisions that are considered stable and relevant beyond their original context, refer to the Architecture Decision Records (ADR) located in the docs/decisions/ directory.
