Building meetolog in public

What's up, what's up! 🤘

I want to share with you, guys, first attempt at building stuff in public. I'm going to be documenting my progress in my blog, here, and in twitter. Here's my first post in my blog .

As I described it briefly there, meetolog is a web app, which aims to help teams better manage their meeting artifacts - agendas, notes, next-steps, decisions etc. It's in a very early stage (couple of days of playing around with the idea). I already have an initial mockup/wireframes, a setup project with developed entry point for the logged user (dashboard, but still static, though) and some ideas of what the initial MVP version would include.

One thing I still haven't done yet is to make a deeper market research (googled several already existing solutions to the problem for a couple of hours, but that's it). I plan to stay away from the "boring" part in the beginning as my motivation is still high in those early stages and I want to try to build as much as possible, based on my experience with the problem at hand and the pain points I usually have with meetings (and adjust in the process). I think that's the smarter approach, at least for a guy with several failed such side hustles mainly because of lack of motivation and fun.

I'm planning to build, market and sell the entire thing by myself (scary!).

Technology wise I'm using a fairly common stack - React+TS, Node+Express, SCSS etc. Still haven't decided on the deployment specifics, db etc. It's going to be a monolith app, since "ain't nobody got time for distributed". 😎

You can read more details in my post.

What do you think about the idea? What do you think about my approach? Do you have any advice or critiques in general? 😀 I would be glad to hear! Thanks in advance.

Wish me luck, guys! 🤞
