Yesterday I spent a lot of time with a very small outcome, but anyway, I should report about it too :)
What I did was I created a very basic public "landing" page for the board. "Landing" means it's the page users will see when they click a link to leave feedback. It should have some header, list of posts, and interface elements that would allow to load more posts, sort them, or select posts with specific category, status, type, or tag. (The wireframe is here https://www.indiehackers.com/post/open-saas-development-from-scratch-day-1-requirements-and-ui-wireframes-8dbf92055c)
And I finished the day with this skeleton page what looks very ugly:
As you can see it has the list and "load more" button, both working. Everything else is just implemented "as is", not formatted and slightly working :)
But it's really fun for me to post these images through my progress. I feel like I'm Dr.Frankenstein and creating some nice creature, starting from a spine chord, adding more bones, then put muscles, and finally will put nice skin :)
Time spent: 3 hours
Total time spent so far: 39.5 hours
