The Year the Runway Became the Product

A visual draft of the indie-hacker / digital-nomad experiment: where the money went, where the work happened, and which codebases absorbed the attention.

Timeline Phases

Each block is a narrative phase. Width is approximate calendar duration; amount is categorized spend booked inside the phase.

Route Notes

The map uses approximate coordinates and excludes online/admin spend, unknown P2P, and exact transit paths. Location totals come from the categorized ledger.

Runway Burn

Monthly spend against the reconstructed accounted-for runway. The remaining line is illustrative, not a literal month-end cash balance.

Story Signal

This panel is meant to surface the story beats quickly: high-burn travel months, high-code months, and the moment work shifted back toward paid/client-style projects.

Month by Month

Scroll sideways. Each card combines location, spend mix, cumulative burn, commits, top repositories, and timeline events.

Three Ways to Read the Year

These are the hooks the article can pull from the same evidence.

Code Focus

Monthly commit counts and dominant repos show attention more clearly than memory does.

Big-Ticket Receipts

The biggest line items are not the whole story, but they make the story concrete.

Venmo, ATM/cash, and low-confidence merchants are intentionally visible in the source CSV for later review instead of silently over-classified.
