Share Brain: offers to share what a session made
When an agent writes a finished report, chart or page and never shares it, Share Brain offers to publish it in one click, and can measure how far readers scroll.
Sometimes an agent writes a good report, chart or page to your computer and never turns it into a share, so it just sits in a folder. Share Brain notices. When a turn ends cleanly and left a finished page nobody published, a small card appears in the session: "This turn made a page you could share", with the title, the kind of file, its size and the look it will get.
Share Brain is in Preview: it is still in development and off until you turn it on.
Publish an offer#
Publish makes it a share exactly as it is and shows the link with Copy and Revoke (Revoke asks first).
Not now skips it, and Preview opens the file so you can look before you decide.
Under ⋯ you find Never for this kind (you can undo it right on the card) and Why am I seeing this?, which explains in plain words which file it was and why it was offered.
The card never takes over your typing, makes no sound and pops nothing up. At most three offers appear after a turn, and an offer you leave alone expires after a week.
What it offers, and what it never does#
It offers web pages, Kit descriptions, drawings (SVG), longer Markdown reports and PDFs, and only from the folders a session is allowed to share from. It never offers your project's code or the files of an app you are building, and a turn that ended in an error or that you stopped never makes an offer.
If a file looks like it contains a password or an API key, the card says so with only a few characters showing, and Publish asks you to confirm before anything goes on the web.
It learns from your answers, on this computer only: say Not now three times in a row to one kind of file and it stops offering that kind for two weeks. It decides with simple rules, no AI is asked, it costs nothing, and what it learned never leaves your computer.
Change what it does#
In Shares, open the settings gear and find Share Brain. There you can turn offers off, also send each offer to your Inbox, choose for each kind of file whether it is offered, never offered or published automatically (Auto), read what it has learned in plain sentences, and reset all of it (with an Undo). This group is on the desktop app only.
Publish automatically (Auto)#
Only you can turn Auto on, from your settings or from the one suggestion card on the desktop app; an agent or a paired phone cannot. When you have published nearly every page of a kind, one card asks "Publish them automatically?" with Turn on and No thanks. No thanks keeps asking you first, and Share Brain never suggests it again for that kind.
A daily limit. It publishes at most 10 pages a day by itself (you can choose from 1 to 50), counted from midnight. Past the limit, the card is a normal offer with the line "Daily auto-publish limit reached".
Never a file with a key, never a PDF. A file that looks like it holds a password or an API key is offered to you instead, with the warning. The check reads the file's own text, so it cannot see inside a PDF or another file the page pulls in. That is why Auto cannot be chosen for PDFs.
Taking pages down turns it off. If you take down two automatically published pages of one kind within 14 days, that kind goes back to asking you first, and Share Brain tells you why.
The off switch wins. Turning Share Brain off stops automatic publishing at once, even in the middle of a turn.
On your phone. The suggestion card's buttons are on the desktop app; on your phone it waits until you open the session on your computer.
See where readers stop#
With Share Brain on, a share's Analytics card (select it in Shares) has a Where readers stop block: a bar with ten steps, one for each tenth of the page, showing how many readers got at least that far, and a sentence such as "8 of 10 readers reached the halfway point".
It is off for each share until you turn on Measure how far readers scroll in that share's Analytics card. To start every new share with it on, use Measure how far readers scroll on new shares in the Share Brain settings group. Nothing shows until at least 5 readers are counted ("Not enough readers yet").
What it measures. For each counted view, at most one number: the deepest tenth of the page the reader reached (0 to 10), added to eleven totals kept for that share. The single reading is not stored, and nothing about the reader (no address, browser, country or time) goes with it. It says "About" when a figure was rounded.
Readers who ask not to be tracked are skipped. Nothing is sent when the reader's browser has Global Privacy Control on or Do Not Track set, or when the page is shorter than one and a half screens, and nothing uses cookies.
Sent when the reader leaves. The reading goes out once, when the reader closes the page or switches away, so a tab left open and never revisited may not be counted.
Totals change slowly on purpose. The numbers Yardmaster receives change at most once a day and only after at least 5 more readings, so you can never match one person's reading to a view. The running totals stay in the cloud database and are never sent to anyone's app. Someone who runs that database could still look at them.
Turning it off stops new readings and keeps what was counted until you take the share down; you can always turn it off, even after turning Share Brain off. The switch is on the desktop app only. An agent can change it only with your own Yardmaster key, never a session's.
Not on series. Pages inside a series are not measured yet.
