GLOSSARY
[WIP] Glance
A shared space to keep up to date with everything using agents & codex
I built Glance with Codex and Sites to bring my calendar, inbox, AI headlines, open PRs, spending and parcels into one place. Each section gives me a short summary, with more detail and links to the original sources when I need them.
Simplifying the interface
The early version had draggable, resizable white containers. I stripped those back to stacked paragraphs, using serif headings and spacing to give the page structure. Detail popovers kept the overview short without losing the context behind each update.
Bringing it into chat
I added a read-only plugin connection so I could ask about the same briefing from ChatGPT. It reads saved updates rather than fetching every source again, so each section carries its own checked time and context.
Iterating through use
Most of the design work has been small changes against a working version: adjusting type, removing controls and checking how it feels on my phone. Mobile navigation and differences between the hosted site and app sidebar are still being worked through.
