My sourdough starter went from flat to bubbly in just two days

I had a starter that looked like pancake batter for a week, no matter what I did. I was ready to toss it. Then I moved it from my cool counter to on top of my fridge, which is a bit warmer. In two days, it doubled in size and got full of bubbles. The only change was the spot I put it in. I guess my kitchen was just too cold. What's the warmest spot in your house that works for proofing?

Honestly that's wild it worked so fast. Tbh my warmest spot is a total disaster, it overproofs everything. Maybe you just got lucky with the fridge heat?

Oh man, @jamew83, that's a good point about the fridge heat. I wonder if the type of container matters too, like a glass bowl vs plastic? Might hold heat different and mess with the time.
