A lot has been completed this week. The trip templates are now live and almost ready to be used fully in all contexts. Before I can complete the process of using the templates, I needed to improve the create order process. That is completed and it's much more powerful than it was.

Writing this on Friday the 13th, but no bad luck here hopefully! No big updates this week, but the trip templates are almos complete and will be released next week. This is a big feature that will make it easier to create trips and orders in Itsy.

This week and next week I am focusing on trip templates. The templates will be a big new feature in Itsy and will make it easier for users to create trips based on a template and create orders directly from the template as well.

Some weeks are not full of new features or big deployments, but rather a week of cleanup, optimization, and bug fixes. This week was one of those weeks. I have been working in simplifying the code and structure if Itsy these last few weeks, and this week was no exception.

Planning is so important. That is why I spent the week planning stuff. No big deployments, just planning. The future is exciting and there are some very interesting things coming up in the near future.

This week, I focused on enhancing the public booking process by implementing the booking conditions and settings I developed last week, improving the final payment step, and updating the layout to include new features like displaying the workspace currency. Additionally, I addressed some bug fixes and am pleased with the progress made.

Faced with a seemingly unfixable bug when a client needed to change their payment provider, I spent a frustrating day debugging before finally uncovering an obscure setting, leaving me torn between the satisfaction of resolving the issue and the disappointment over how long it took.

The olympics are here, and I have spent a lot of time watching these fantastic athletes compete. It's always so inspiring to see people at the top of their game, and the olympics are the best place to see that.
