What happened today
Today’s little gem comes once again from Louis.
Last night I spent hours trying to debug the new layout of my personal site. This morning, ten minutes before taking the kids to school, I installed Antigravity, Google’s new IDE with Gemini 3 baked in, on his advice.
I explained my issue.
It wasn’t a “small” bug: a layout working perfectly in dev but breaking in production, a perfectly hidden issue in some obscure rendering logic.
And then, using the same account I used yesterday — where several models failed in a row — Gemini found the root cause in three minutes.
Today was clearly about discovering Antigravity and Gemini 3. Thank you Louis. ❤️
Challenges & surprises
This morning’s daily standup was short: we were coming out of a long meeting yesterday.
Just enough time to collectively celebrate: Antigravity is fire.
… Until this afternoon when I had to rollback to Windsurf because of quota limitations. Too few tokens to really work inside Antigravity. The future isn’t fully free yet.
Technical point: implementing Supabase auth
Between discussions, I made solid progress on the app’s authentication.
My first time doing this, and honestly, between Supabase’s clarity and Speckit’s fluidity, it’s a pleasure.
In half a day:
- database initialised
- auth (almost) set up
- a few things left to wire
Our job really has changed.
Moving from “hand-writing TypeScript types” to “thinking architecture, experience, coherence” is a luxury. It lets us focus on the meaningful parts.
Human moment
Coordination meeting with Margot and Nour.
Julie presented her first mockups: a huge relief for everyone to finally have visuals to look at.
Nour raised a key point: once we ingest a large volume of content, filters will become essential to make search usable. Out of scope for the POC, but critical for the MVP. This keeps our trajectory straight: a product usable in production by March.
Margot highlighted something important: historically at Réfugiés.info, small-step iteration has been hard for us.
She’s happy to see that we’ve managed to break the project down into simple, understandable, trackable milestones.
It feels good.
See you tomorrow.
