🎄Challenge - Launch a Start Up before Christmas 🎄19 December

I'll be working on the site later today, so here is my task list.

• tweak copy
• check payment system
• make example video
• tweak design

Hopefully I'll have it ready by Christmas!

I'm also working on some freelance projects in the meanwhile.

Currently launching my Chrome extension, 2FA Reminder:

Waiting for the Chrome web store to process :)

I've been pondering whether to attempt this for the past few days, and have decided to give it a shot. The idea is to make a web-app that uses the Reddit API to find posts mentioning sales on certain products, and then build a basic UI that can provide price and category filtering on that data. Monetization could be done using affiliate links in the future, but if I can just get something basic online before Boxing day that would be a Christmas miracle :).

Status Hashr.io

✅ Domain purchase completed
✅ Hosting setup completed (3core, 8gb, 256gb NVMe, 2x GTX Titan, fully autoscaling to up to 4 additional same-spec machines) -> omfg, this is expensive!
✅ SSL completed
✅ Hash API completed
✅ Verification API completed (for Argon2, BCRYPT, etc.)
✅ Output in JSON and JSONP completed
🔳 Output in XML and plain dump
✅ API documentation completed
✅ Legal content completed (Legal notice, privacy policy, cookie notice)
✅ Stresstest completed (it can handle about a gazillion hashes per second ;) )
✅ MailChimp newsletter setup completed
✅ Error messages completed
🔳 Developer kit with composer
🔳 More error messages
🔳 Pre-hashed verification API
🔳 Login/Registration for User accounts

For this project, I will deliberately not have any form of tracking in place due to the sensitive material that could be hashed. So no Google Analytics, Remarketing tags, GTM, Facebook Pixels, etc. Not even server logs! The only measurement being tracked is revenue in form of subscribed accounts and the total amount of hashes/verifications being made on the Hashr.io platform as a number. That's it.

Yesterday it was tough for me, got stuck a bit with building the back-end for user login. but almost there!

What I have done
✅ Set up Google Analytics
✅ Fixed an issue in signup Form submission

Plan for December 18
🔳 Finish the user login system (front end ready, back end almost)
🔳 Build the view to create and save goals

Unfortunately I found out yesterday I will nee to travel for work today and tomorrow 😐

I am going to start my working day in 5 minutes. I will probably get very little done today. I hope tomorrow night will be more productive!
