Day 9/42 — History Beats Guesswork

Oz Omegna
August 26, 2025

TL;DR: We shipped History View. Your searches, saved offers, and comparisons now live in one place—so you can pick up right where you left off. Under the hood: new Web components with cloned styles, Remote Config on Settings, cleaner product data pushed to S3, deployment notifications, and a rolling QA charter. Translation: faster iteration, clearer decisions, higher trust.

Why this matters

Home energy decisions are high-stakes and messy. People juggle screenshots, half-finished quotes, and browser tabs. History View removes the chaos. It remembers your journey—so you don’t. When you return, everything is exactly where you left it.

What shipped today

  • History View (consumer portal): the running memory of your searches, saves, and comparisons—reopen any quote in a click.
  • Web Editor upgrades: new sections + cloned site styles now being integrated across components (rapid co-branding for partners).
  • Remote Config (Settings): adjust behaviour safely without redeploys.
  • Data hygiene: CEC product fixes; datasheets pushed to  prod for consistency.
  • Operational readiness: deployment notify channel; Rolling QA Charter and DORA proxies—so we measure what matters.

How it feels (for real users)

  • Less hunting, more deciding. You’ll see what changed since last time—prices, incentives, bundle details—without re-researching.
  • Momentum by default. One tap to reopen a saved quote; no account creation tax.
  • Trust through context. You’ll understand why an option looks good (or not), not just see a price.

For partners and retailers

  • Cleaner pipelines. History reduces the back-and-forth (“Which version did you mean?”).
  • Faster theming. Puck’s components + cloned styles mean co-branded portals in days, not months.
  • Safer iteration. Remote Config lets us flip behaviour flags without redeploy drama.

What’s next (10–12/42)

  • Saved Plans & Solar variants wireframes → into build.
  • End-to-end polish on the consumer journey (address → eligibility → personalise → save → compare → handoff).
  • Demo + release notes for partners.

Our north star

Clarity wins. We’re building the fastest way to check eligibility, personalise with best-practice calculations, save a quote without creating an account, and compare transparently—without cold calls or forum scavenger hunts.
