Two years ago today the first commit went into Ooloi. Taking Stock at Two Years is the anniversary reckoning: an inventory of what has actually been built in that time. The list is somewhat surprising.

That post is really all you need to read, but if you want the details: All the World's a Database and Getting There cover the custom Open/Save picker that asks the backend what exists and never sees a path — the same contract for local and remote storage. Underneath it: a full piece file menu (New, Open, Save, Save As, Close) with typed, translated failure messages and deterministic close-on-last-release (ADR-0051); dirty-state tracking with a live title decorator (ADR-0052); and the Musicians and Layouts panels themselves, with drag-and-drop, doublings, and multi-selection. ADR-0053 gathers the window's design — previously scattered across fourteen ADRs — into the fifty-fourth architectural decision record.

Two shorter posts frame the period: Updated Road Map on why the last groundwork is worth doing once and properly, and Time and Motion Studies on narrowly scoped tickets that widen into general solutions because correct foundations make the general case cheap.
