What do you do when you don't like your own product?
I started www.99planner.com about 3 weeks ago. I did imagine a planner that totally exlusive to me. And also cool one. I'm not a web developer but i learned how to build a website. Python, html, css, javascript, bootstrap... It is not a proffessional one but it is working. I created demo planner with example dates and find a shop for press it. Then i find a leather shop, choose a leather and buy samples. And then i find a notebook manufacturer for make printed pages to a real planner. Result? A little disappointing. ... I uploaded images on website but it is not cool enough. It should have thinner and pale paper, leather of the cover should be softer and brighter, there are a lot of alignment mistakes in the software. So there are a lot of things to do. I should almost start from the beginning again. I won't give up. But i need to breathe a little. Thanks for reading.
Hi Serkan, I am curious- In these days where everything is online, including diary, calendars etc... how did you come up with a the idea of a paper version?
Hi Anne,
I'm still using paper diary and like it. I think that fastest way of taking notes is pen and paper when i speaking with a customer. Also i remember easily my notes which taked with pen. Sometimes i'm just drawing something when i thinking. So i like writing. It just was an idea and i asked here. You can check it:

When i found people willing to use a physical planner then i decide to make prototypes. But it didn't seem like everything I wanted. :)
Hi Serkan, but that's great - I like that you like pen and paper; as i said, I was just curious (I love understanding how people came by their idea) and now have read the first post, so it all falls into place :)
