After changing day job and some delays I was able to work on my app again and the new onboarding experience is starting to take shape.

App is starting to get to the advertising stage!! Stay tuned!

For me they have to feel like action points for my users.

If they don't look interactive then I would have to adjust them.

They should also be fairly seamless with the rest of the content. They need to look like they belong with the other elements but still respect the above point

Good luck!!

I had a designer friend look at my app and do a first round of suggestions. After implementing most of them Therefore is starting to look like a high class product!

Top tip best design outcomes keep the conversation to the core usage patterns and let the design come from that.

Big news! A couple of days ago I published my app and sent it out to the first group of testers!

It's ugly and probably broken but it's out there, now I have the hard part left!!!

The question for me is Do you want Ai to find your site / content as they typically strip your brand and only pull the data. How does this impact peoples revenue etc.

Project update. I have built out my test environment. I can see the app and website on the Internet!

Oh the stack!
Main app is simple React + Vite

For the website and blog it's a NextJs site that generates pages from markdown.

Firebase hosted, except for auth swapping to Clerk. #buildinpublic

Shout out to tailwind. I had a build bug in my NextJs website and 6 hours later they released a patch.

Well I've been busy.

I was using NX as my monorepo and it was time to update my dependencies.
Complete nightmare culminating in my project being completely broken. No errors just nothing.

The fix, a full migration to toturborepo updating works.

+ A family full of flu, fun.

Don't you love random production bugs. I have a fun one at the moment. Authentication works in the local environment but as soon as I push it to prod completely broken.

Another day another bug :P

You should try Obsidian, I keep the bugs I write in code very entertained by the volume of plans I never read again.

Sure! I'm an engineer so I don't know much about the policy space as I should at the moment. Honestly any direction would be welcome 😁

Hey all, this year is the year I'm going to release my first side project!

On that note, where do you find good open source privacy policies and terms of service?

Need them for paddle integration

Hey mate thanks for the heads up on the tag.
I've seen plenty of bad decisions 😁 but the idea came from people trying their best but not integrating their experience with data driven decision making.

Hello everyone, I'm a software engineer and I am going to try the build in public thing.

The current project is a decision making tool for business.

Let's go!!
