What It Is

A private operations dashboard — your personal command centre for making content, tool, and growth decisions. Completely separate from the public /site-analytics/ transparency page.

Design philosophy: Terminal-inspired, dense, action-first. JetBrains Mono for numbers. Green/amber/red semantic colours. No glassmorphism. Every pixel earns its place.

YouTube API Details

  • Data API (API key): Channel stats, all video stats, engagement metrics. ~300 units per request.
  • Analytics API (OAuth2): Watch time, avg duration, subs gained/lost, traffic sources (28-day window). impressions and CTR are NOT available via API — YouTube Studio only.
  • Quota: 10,000 units/day. Resets midnight Pacific (8 PM NZT).
  • OAuth2 credentials: Stored in SWA env vars (YOUTUBE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, YOUTUBE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET, YOUTUBE_OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN).

⚠️ Important: CC vs Site Analytics

/site-analytics/ /cc/
Purpose Public transparency Private decision-making
Access No password, fully public Password-gated (Cric@buzz321)
Linked from Nav, homepage, free tools Nowhere — direct URL only
SEO Indexed noindex, nofollow
YouTube data Not shown Full channel intelligence
Actions/insights Not shown Do Today, Content Bets, Strategy
Design Glassmorphism dark theme Terminal/monospace, dense

NEVER mix these two. Don't add CC features to the public page. Don't link CC from anywhere. Don't expose YouTube data publicly.

Maintenance

  • YouTube API quota: If quota exceeded, CC shows cached data from localStorage (up to 24h old)
  • Content Calendar: localStorage only — not synced. Plan content in the CC, track here.
  • Competitor Watch: Framework only — needs YouTube Data API calls per competitor channel (future)
  • Title Scorecards: Heuristic-based (power words, length, curiosity gap). Not as reliable as real CTR data.
