Postal Portal
A shipping product on two stacks
Jul 2025 · 2 repos · two stacks · restyles into 2026
spec-first PRD, then tech spec, then tasks. The transactional flow's commit log counts up from task 1.2 to 9.3.
A postal shipping product built across two weeks of July 2025, spec-first on both halves. The marketing site went on Adobe Edge Delivery Services as 17+ reusable authoring blocks. The transactional flow, quote through pickup through confirmation, went on Next.js: 89 commits in a six-day sprint, each one numbered against the task list it was working through.
The git history under-counts this one. The marketing repo's whole build week landed as a single commit touching 2,700+ lines, the PRD and tech spec its README points to never got committed, and the page content lives in da.live rather than git. Small restyles kept trailing in afterward; the last one landed in May 2026, ten months after the sprint.
One spec method, two stacks. Drawn for this page from the two repos' commit history.

The marketing site on EDS and da.live: hero, cards, stats, and forms as reusable authoring blocks. The specs that drove it stayed local; the build week landed as one big commit.
