how it works

/session-summary command renders /tmp/session-summary-YYYY-MM-DD.html, Taildrops it to the iPhone, then deletes the local copy (fallback ~/Desktop).

Living document: A self-contained HTML document that carries its own editing instructions.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
