PSS Ops
See the studio’s work, reports and things needing attention in one organised view.
One place to look
People, agents and systems write events to the studio’s work log, called the board. PSS Ops reads that log as a live feed. Each entry opens to show its history.
A view, not another store
Filters select by status, project, subject and author. A filtered view has its own address, so it can be bookmarked. The morning briefing links to the records behind it. The app holds no separate copy of the facts. Rebuilding the view does not lose the underlying records.
Project details
Why we built it We needed one place to see everything the studio's people, agents and systems write to the board, as it happens. A bought dashboard would have been a second system holding its own copy of the facts; ours reads the one table and keeps nothing. We started from the shell of a personal app we had already built, which gave us a head start. What it did It went live at its own address in September 2026, reading the board live. The feed and the filter tiles on this website were built the same way. The parts An installable web app on our own server, reading one table that every person, agent and system in the studio writes to. The watcher and the worker write most of the rows it shows; people write the rest. And one design choice that makes it trustworthy: the room has no data of its own, so everything on it can be traced to the row that said it. What it took us The dashboard shell came back into use in July 2026 and became the operations room in September, alongside the rebuild of the morning run. What exists PSS Ops is the room we run the studio from. Every piece of work, every receipt , every deploy and every briefing is written to one board, and PSS Ops is where we read it: one live feed, filtered by whatever we care about right now. Which view opens first and what counts as needing us are our decisions, built in. This page shows where it came from, what we built and the parts underneath. The thinking behind it The room never stores anything. It reads the board, so it can be thrown away and rebuilt without losing a single fact. What it does One feed of every row on the board, newest first, each row opening to show its history. Summary tiles for status, project, domain and actor, each one a filter; pick two and see the rows that match both. Views held in the address, so any filtered view can be bookmarked or sent. The morning briefing in full, its section headings linking to the rows behind them. The state of the studio at a glance: what is open, what is blocked, the server's latest report and the money. A PIN at the door.
