Man, this week is happening too fast.

Well, I spend some time trying to figure out how to handle mapping from Substack. It turns out that my previous approach was a bit goofy, as for Twitter I ended up introducing an intermediate layer that matches neither my, nor Tiwtter's data structure. I could have a data layer that matches each API, but the level of nesting in Twitter's data is something I do not want to deal with at all, so direct translation into my structure it is, and the same will apply to Substack. This means I've been slowly refactoring the import code, and I will be doing so for a while yet.

How have you been doing @Southkraut?

Been putting in extra work at work, which completely ate up my free time during the week days, and on the weekend I social calls. No progress this time.
