The logbook

Shipped, dated, signed

A watch keeps a log. This one records what changed on Sentryfolio and when, in plain terms. Newest first; entries are added as work ships, not on a schedule.

One site, one skin

The new front page's design now dresses every page: the same serif and mono, the same scarce gold, the same nav and footer from the story to the small print. Nothing was reworded; everything was re-tailored.

The front page, rebuilt to the drawing

The homepage was remade from a full design study: serif and mono type, an instrument roster you can play, questions plainly answered, and a signed note from the operator. The rules underneath did not move an inch: real screenshots, no third-party code, no advice, nothing tracking you.

The front page, rehung

An outside design review was weighed against the house rules; what survived it shipped. The real terminal now stands beside the headline, the news wire keeps to its own page, the longer passages were trimmed, and Invite joined the menu. The privacy page now answers two blunt questions: who runs this, and what would happen if it ever stopped. Links in this logbook also gained their underlines.

The hunt, shown working

Discovery had done its overnight work in silence since the beginning; the homepage now says so, and the demo's Discovery page shows the hunt's findings against ten fictional candidates, gates, yields and dividend years in the open.

Play with the demo

The terminal opened a public window: demo.sentryfolio.com is the real system watching a fictional portfolio, read-only, no sign-up. Look anywhere; nothing can be changed, and nothing in it is anybody's actual money.

Private by design, on one page

The privacy story was scattered across three pages; now one page tells it whole. Written the day the site also began counting its visitors in aggregate from its own server log, and says so plainly.

Every table travels

Any table in the terminal now downloads as a CSV or Excel file: exactly the rows you filtered and sorted, or the full list. Holdings, income, signals, discoveries, realized outcomes.

The price-integrity hold

When a day's close lands implausibly far from a holding's own recorded history, the watch now suspends that holding's signals and asks its owner to look, rather than reporting a fall that may not be real. Data can lie; the watch now says so instead of repeating it.

Sturdier journal checks

A journal draft that fails the editorial rules is now rewritten and rechecked before the morning gives up on it. The rules did not move; the drafting got more patient.

Watch lines

Mark a price level on any chart, with a note to yourself. The morning report says when a daily close crosses it, once, then stays quiet until the level genuinely re-arms.

Compare, without a verdict

Two companies side by side: quality, valuation, growth, income. Figures only. Which is the better investment stays your question.

Portfolio shape

The Allocation page now shows sector mix, geography and concentration, measured from what you hold. Descriptive only; it will not tell you what a portfolio ought to look like.

Totals in your currency

The Overview can show the whole book in pounds, dollars, euros and more, clearly marked as approximate. The exact per-currency figures stay native and untouched: conversion is a glance, never the ledger.

Five brokers

Interactive Brokers and Revolut statements now import, joining Charles Stanley, Trading 212 and IG. The first arrived with a tester's files and was reading them within the week.

The journal's first entry

Notes from the watch began: a short entry most mornings, drawn from the day's reporting, sourced and checked. This site, the guide and the news wire opened the same week.
