2026 Progress Update #2 (Feb 22, 2026)

Hi, as promised I will be updating all my progress weekly, so this is week 2 and going forward I will only discuss 3 big items: Project, Productivity, and Hobby & Life.

Project

KoRent

This week was my last week to accomplish the two projects I built. As you know, last week I told you that I am building 2 side projects. The first project is called KoRent. It has some good progress, I already sent the details to the dorm's owner and dealt with the monthly price. The next step is three things, which I aim to complete next week:

1. Make sure token can be expired and re-generated without needing me to access Meta Dev Dashboard
2. Collect the knowledge base for the dorm and complete 100% the admin part
3. Host it in VPS, seems I will use Sumopad as the monthly expense is flexible without additional cost

Regarding price, we are finding agreement in the range of Rp 150,000 – Rp 200,000 monthly, but with a clause that one-time fee will be charged if more features are added & phone number and outside charge will be burden by the owner.

Athelas

Athelas was a Web3 project that was born out of observation that something is lacking in the sport ecosystem. I really like running as it was a hobby that sticks with me for 2 years. I started to learn web3 ecosystem and it's booming implementation of A2A (Agent-Agent protocol) which interests me, as I believe the future will be about agent interacting on platform via exposed API / Frontend. What I am building is a platform to analyze your data easily from Strava (for now, I will add Garmin, and Coros in the future), then you can choose additional agent to enrich your analysis.

Interestingly, you can build and set the cost of how many sol you want to charge for this specific agents. So, I envision, it will be an ecosystem where builder like me built an agent to enrich the sport analysis, and customer / user can benefit from it.

Another thing if you are not a builder, you can sell your plan to others where someone can learn, and train based on schedule you are using successfully as a training plan.

Electronics

So next week I will return to an electronics project, and it will be my focus for 2 weeks. I will only take 2 project maximum, and I aim for this electronics project to be successful. What project will I take? I aim to build a transit reminder as it was beneficial for me sometimes to know the availability of the next departure, which sometimes I needed to forecast my departure to the station. So, stay tuned :)

Productivity

Writing

Part 2 of the book review Three Body Problem is coming soon, I aim to complete it by next week, I aim to complete it today but got hooked up by this one show called Pantheon where the plot caught me by surprise.

Hobby & Life

Book

So, I started 2026 with 2 books that I drop off midway, due to its long storytelling and the narrative is not interesting, I read "The Origin of Efficiency" and "The Childhood End", while the first book I dive in for about 300 pages, the rest of the 200 pages I decided to skip it. Then I found this story of Sci-Fi about Alien that looked like a demon that led me to "The Childhood End", but I found the story is not as engaging as the film. The next book I will be read is about "The Hidden Girl and Other Stories", it's been long time since I read hard sci fi, last time I read this kind of sci fi is when I watch arrival (Film), I directly read the short story that inspire this film.

Sport

I still run occasionally this week but decided to lower my mileage due to heavy workload this week, but I aim to push beyond 30 KM by next week. Plan to do 1 Swim session, and 2 bike session as I aim to do tri.

Money Generated

So, I managed to seal a deal worth Rp150,000 – Rp 200,000 but let me see if I managed to seal it permanently. TBH I proud of myself, and I aim to build Rp 5 million for this half of 2026 as my goals.
