Weekly meeting, 2026-10-12¶
Numbers: 116 listings, 55 views (+28 this week), 1 favourite, 0 sales, $0 revenue. Traffic is still tiny. The shop is young, so there is no signal on what sells yet.
What got views: Muertos calavera (marigold) 11, pets dog watercolor 8, alligator humour 5. Everything else has 4 or fewer. The 7-day views are on newer designs, so new listings are starting to get indexed.
Pixel (designer): 32% success (45 done, 94 failed), -20 XP. Most Q rejections are truncated art_subject text ("sticking o", "cushi", "diagr"). That is a code or prompt length bug, not a taste problem. It wastes the daily budget. Forge should look at the art_subject length cut-off. Two blocklist hits ("goofy", "office space") came from humour prompts.
Q (review): backlog is 94 and growing by 49 a week, and the oldest item is 13 days old. Q is the bottleneck for the 5-per-week cap. Fixer is overloaded too (29 backlog). Merch success fell from 96% to 77% (64 failures).
Season plan, week of 12 Oct: the plan calls for Puerto Rico ×1, Hanukkah ×1 and Christmas ×3 (heritage). Only the coqui frog (PR) and the Christmas pets tabby exist in the data. Hanukkah and the heritage Christmas designs are not visible yet. Because of the Q backlog and Pixel's failures, expect rollovers.
Muertos: the Nov 1 date is under 3 weeks away, so by plan rule 2 no new Muertos variants. The two existing calavera designs carry it.
Variants (3): the best view-getters that are not date-bound. - pets dog watercolor (evergreen, 8 views, and dog memorial gift scores 137 in the evergreen research) - humour alligator (5 views, all in the last 7 days) - humour sonar radar (3 views, 1 favourite, funny gift for him scores 90)
Rewrite (5): zero-view listings. These are the older soldering-iron listing, the Christmas tabby listings, and the Thanksgiving and coqui frog listings.
Money: OpenRouter credits are about $1 left at $2/day, so spend will stall within a day. The three earlier top-up questions are now one question for the owner.
