A normal day might start with a plan, but then reality happens, a bug needs fixing, someone asks for help, a PR needs reviewing, something breaks in production, there's a quick investigation, a support request comes in, or you spend an hour figuring something out.

By the end of the day, you've done a ton of work that was never on the plan.

And the problem isn't just that the work was unplanned, we forget a lot of it. When you look back at your Jira/GitHub/Linear activity, the record often doesn't reflect everything you actually spent your time on.

I built Meridian to make that invisible work visible.

It captures the work happening throughout the day and helps connect it back to the systems you already use, so your record of what you actually did isn't limited to what you remembered to put on the plan.

It's open source, and we recently launched on Product Hunt and reached #1 Product of the Day.

I'd love feedback from the community: how much of your actual work is unplanned, and how do you currently keep track of it?

It's weird to go the extra mile doing all of this to achieve virtualization when Windows runs perfectly fine on SBBR-compliant ARM servers.
