Standalone Python CLI + SQLite (stdlib only). Tracks creator leads, which letters went to which address, replies, and the funnel (prospect → … → live). Commands: init/add/list/show/set/note/sent/reply/next/stats/export. Lead data (emails/PII) stays local and is gitignored. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
|
|
*A beautiful, enticing, lace-clad system for tracking creator leads — and the
|
|
letters we send to lure them into putting their content on Glitch University.*
|
|
|
|
Named for Ada: the first programmer, in lace. **lovelace** is the Phase 3 engine
|
|
of the WP6 influencer campaign — it remembers **who we wrote to, at which address,
|
|
what we said, who wrote back, and how close each creator is to a live subtree.**
|
|
|
|
No server, no dependencies — Python stdlib + a SQLite ledger. The lead data
|
|
(emails, PII) stays local and is never committed.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -e . # then `lovelace ...`
|
|
# or, without installing:
|
|
python3 -m lovelace ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The ledger lives at `~/.lovelace/lovelace.db` (override with `LOVELACE_DB`).
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
lovelace init # open the book
|
|
|
|
lovelace add --name "Jane Deepdive" --platform youtube \
|
|
--topic "heterodox economics" --email jane@example.com \
|
|
--difficulty low --status shortlist --fit "long-form, paid audience"
|
|
|
|
lovelace list # the whole book
|
|
lovelace list --status shortlist # filtered
|
|
lovelace next # who to approach next (easiest graft first)
|
|
|
|
lovelace sent 1 --subject "Not a pitch..." --variant quince-A # log a letter
|
|
lovelace reply 1 "Intrigued — what's the split?" --disposition interested
|
|
lovelace show 1 # full history for one lead
|
|
|
|
lovelace stats # the funnel
|
|
lovelace export --csv leads.csv # hand-off / backup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The funnel
|
|
|
|
`prospect → longlist → shortlist → contacted → replied → onboarding → live`
|
|
(plus `declined`). `sent` auto-advances a lead to *contacted*; `reply` to *replied*.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- **Phase 3 (this):** lead DB + send/reply tracking + funnel. ✅
|
|
- **Phase 4:** actually send the emails and handle replies — lovelace already
|
|
records the templates/variants so attribution is ready.
