#daily-stand-up
Anyone who's been doing stand up for more than a hot minute knows that it takes me a long ass time to put together a landing page. But in the name of quick validation, I committed to spitting out a landing page in a week.
Without further ado, introducing Belly Bean.

By the end of September, I've found some cool shit to build for my first iOS project.

@vimalin for getting his ass back in here and killing the stand ups. In English.
Looks great!
I didn't think there was a topic I had less insight into than women's hair... but it turns out I was wrong :D
Look forward to hearing how it goes. Good luck!
(Laughing!) You and me, both! I've been on a health kick of late and was originally going to build yet another weight tracker app with an extra bell and whistle. But upon doing the SEO research, uncovered this neglected puppy. Figured what the hell... A landing page and a few bucks? I'll give it a go!

Belly Bean it's a lovely name name for the project!
Thank you!
That's another bad ass landing page. Great work, and great idea!
We shall see! Validation to commence shortly!
BellyBean is a great name.
Some feedback:
A lot obviously went into the copy. And everything serves a purpose.
Have you thought about expanding on what the user experience will be like? I kept asking — "How easy will this be?"
I tend to overestimate difficulty when I don't know how hard something will be.
Overall, I was blown away by how good it looks already. Looking forward to where it goes.

@Janice killer landing again...and belly bean is a great name
Thank you, kind sir!
What does "laying out base projects for 2 posts" mean? Example, please?
Automated API is intended to make API development dead simple (in many cases a once click affair) so I have to build something in order to demonstrate it.
On tap are simple apps for: daily personal logging, simple inventory management, a recipe manager, tracking a game collection, and I'm thinking about a simple forum (modeled loosely on threadbase) but this last is a stretch.
Might actually publish a couple of them too, because why not dogfood the product, and it's probably a good idea to demonstrate that you could build a legit product on top of it.
Looking forward to reading your articles! This looks like something I would use.

Kudos to @janice yet again.
Wow that landing page is killing it. It looks to me that you have a winner there.
You even take kilograms into account, not just pounds. Call me impressed, oh and congratulations!
I'm not sure if that last congratulations is a suggestion that I'm expecting a bean of my own, but... (laughing!) nope. This is the biggest concern of my project. I'm definitely not of the community.
(Grinning) And I couldn't help but think of you when I even considered neglecting kilograms for speed!
BBQ? Do explain yourself, sir!
Heheh.. I was reading between the lines on the quote "built by mamas for mamas". Always a risk involved in extrapolating things it does not explicitly say.
re. the BBQ. There's a Dutch VMware User Group down here that organizes a few things over the year. One of those events is the yearly BBQ. I figured to show up again at this year's event. While I didn't speak with a lot of people, at least I was able to work on name recognition by wearing the "Vimalin" t-shirt.

Everyone that hustled this weekend. Keep up the great work everyone.
By the end of September I plan to finish uidesigndaily.com website (building the front end, edit and upload 900+ designs)

• Subscribe feedback notifications styled

• Design and style 404 error, about page, terms&conditions and privacy policy pages.
Ah. The website meat and potatoes. Good luck finishing those pages. They can be tedious. But 404s are always fun for creativity. Just finished my own: https://bellybean.app/404
Thank you! Your 404 it's hilarious and really creative! Well done!
