    What will you accomplish by end of January?

    • Finish reading through and completing exercises for "The Haskell Book"
    • Finish MVP of TinyDevCRM

    What did you do yesterday to work towards your goal?

    • Not much. Technical blog post went viral on Hacker News and I got 7K views, so I was distracted. Also wanted to procrastinate so went and published another technical-ish blog post. I really should get back to work.

    What will you do today?

    • Read through and complete exercises for Chapter 19 / 31 of "The Haskell Book"

      Read through Chapter 19 / 31 of "The Haskell Book", started Chapter 20 / 31. Haven't completed the exercises for 19 yet, may circle back around or leave until further notice.

      What's the reason behind learning webflow if you're learning ruby on rails?

      1. 1

        Ruby on Rails to create the web app & Webflow to create the landing page.

        Using a visual No Code builder for landing pages, I've found, just makes life easier.

          100% agree :)

          What are you planning to build with rails?

          1. 1

            Some super cool novelty products:

            • A flavor of BuyMeACoffee but specifically for gamers, called BuyMeAGame.

            • A site where you can rate and review VCs and Angels, called RateMyVC.

            • One-off Reddit-like threads for open discussions/debates, called Chattrbox.

    I'm building a front-end monitoring app at https://pagecheck.app.

    I'll also try to get a free trial working today and coupons working better. Because I'm still in the product development phase, I'm mostly looking for feedback from early users.

    End of January: 10 paying customers
    Yesterday: added security checks and recommendations for page speed
    Today: coupons, free trial, and update landing page

    If anyone wants a trial code for a few months in exchange for feedback, message me on Twitter!
