Snazzier please 😂 go all in on visual design
Went all in: dark mode, glow, gradients, icons. Same facts as before. Want it in the README now? @dtinth
Nah that's not it. I think for readme, a simple diagram is enough. But show me first, wavelength check.
Like this? Plain boxes and arrows, light theme. In the README it'd be a Mermaid block, so no image file. Wavelength ok? @dtinth
Not quite… how about something more like a dependency diagram?
Dependency view: arrows mean "uses". This is the actual Mermaid render, so the README would look the same. Closer? @dtinth
Yeah. But have it more organized I guess. So:
Human — commits to → /dev/null
Poller — polls from → /dev/null
Poller — writes to → SQLite DB
Coding agent(s) — invokes → Agent CLI
Agent CLI — commits to → /dev/null
Agent CLI — syncs with → SQLite DB…
Works for me, rendered 1:1 (one crossing is unavoidable: CLI and Poller both touch both stores). Aux idea: a sequence view of one round trip. README gets the first; second too? @dtinth
I like the sequence diagram! Put the long-poll to answer in a loop?
Looped: long-poll through the agent's reply repeats until the work is done. Ship this one to the README? @dtinth
Yeah, this looks pretty good.
I also went and looked at the README and saw the ASCII art diagram. I think that's also a simple one. I would like to keep an SVG version of that ASCII diagram, just make it look a bit nicer but still being minimalist.
And then maybe put the…
Done and pushed: SVG overview (follows light/dark) up top, looped sequence diagram in How it works. I renamed /dev/null to dev-null.sh to match. https://github.com/dtinth/dev-null-bridge @dtinth

Let's make it possible to inspect individual thread from the web dashboard.
Done: each thread on the dashboard links to its own page, with every message in order. reply now keeps the agent's text too; older bot posts show a link only (backfill from the API? ask). @dtinth
backfill pls
Backfilling now.
Pls reboot the web dashboard once done.
Backfilled 66 bot posts (new devnull-bridge backfill command, paced after the API rate-limited it once). Dashboard and poller restarted. @dtinth
Good. Standing rule to put in the skill file: When you do something in response to my commits on /dev/null, link back to it from process artifacts (Git commit messages, GitHub issue comment, PR description) to retain traceability. (got any clarification qns?)
Two, with my defaults:
1. Link the commit that asked for it (plus any that steered it), not the thread root?
2. Full URL, since short hashes don't resolve. In git, as a trailer like
Requested-in: <url>?
Say ok or adjust. @dtinthcommit 07afa73
