@flog for work/life balance.
GET IT! Looking forward to the new landing page. Always impressed by your designs
Thank you, kind sir!
Was going to ask when we will get to see your idea (smiling)
Congrats on already having a landing page almost finished!
Take it easy and enjoy your Sunday.
Not nearly as sexy as your idea. (Read your differentiation from Activity Monitor and am all onboard! Excited to support this product!)
I'd say my idea is -once again- too technical for most users and will mostly serve a niche.
Your new idea has a LOT of potential. There are so many uncertainties during pregnancy that being able to get support via your app will help so many people.
If there was a need I would certainly be onboard for your product as well.
Working on https://www.boardme.app video demo!
Gorgeous landing page! What did you use to build it?
All custom code and design by the very talented @ildiko
Kudos

Wow. That was a quick recovery! Especially given the sleepover which can be brutal!
Oh, well I was coding on the couch next to my daughter, and we both had tissues shoved up our noses ;) But the head was clearer so some hustlin' was done

Slept in today so I got plenty of sleep and NO PT job... so I'm going to buckle down and get this problem doc done tonight before I kick off my 1st client's project in the morning. High level I have clarity, now I need to know the specific contexts for each segment. This will help me communicate and help them better.
Thank you, ma'am! Did you get down and dirty?
@Janice, still in the thick of things... but I got enough info to start testing. More details in my standup post for today.
Gracias!!!
You're welcome!

Kudos to @janice for having the landing page for "cool shit" almost ready.
Heheh.. more people have mentioned that Vimalin sounds like a medicine. I'm fine with that, as long as the name sticks.
I suppose you can guess that English is not my mother tongue. ;) It's a Dutch sentence directly translated into English without fixing it for the language. It makes sense in Dutch, sounds a bit strange in English. Not going to fix it, I'm pretty sure I make that kind of mistake more often.
I love the name, it's a good one. I am amazed at the people like you that I meet online who know English as a second language and I wouldn't have guessed it. I can speak/read/write NO other languages besides English with anything approaching lucidity.
New to this and London-based so posting on Sunday for Monday!
EPIC
By end of September I hope to have a functioning BETA model of my product working with multiple accounts/templates. And 50 email subscribers (haven't actively gone after that yet).
YESTERDAY
Planned out goals for this week after not being able to go to sleep and stress thinking at midnight.
TODAY
Adjust structure of React front end, move some elements from component did mount and adjust my custom api to start off without needing user interaction. Tidy up some styling and get my first version hosted on digital ocean (first time trying that out) and a sub domain added to my landing page on another host.... let's see how far I get along with this all today!
WORK IN PROGRESS
I've been working on my landing page and branding last week. Started from zero and got to this https://www.socialwise.io by the end of the week. I'm pretty happy with the messaging. Need to start doing some tweets and getting the social accounts rolling and then start sharing the website a bit.
Congrats on the hot landing page! And welcome to the stand up party!
Cheers and thank you!
Welcome! What's stressing you out the most?
It's the straddling between building the tech and keeping outward facing stuff moving forward. I'm trying to be disciplined and outline some different parts of the day for different activities.
But bigger than that, I'd say the major stress is figuring out the best way to try and build pre-release traction. How much to focus on beta testing vs early access paid-for accounts.
Basically that feeling when you let it all snowball into one big thing before you then break it down to a bunch of smaller pieces. The old "how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time" thing.
There's also the slight fear that if I make something and then it starts messing up after a while. Combined with the natural tendency to wanting everything to go faster than it can... It'll all be okay... Just got to keep breaking it all down. :)
Aha! I don't know what you use for tracking and progress, but I switched over to Clubhouse last December and it's been a major game changer for me. It really has something special for the engineer in me to spin up bite sized chunks and then lay out each day as it comes and make progress in a very satisfying way.
I'll check that out. I've been handwriting a lot of thoughts and notes recently and checking them off in a notebook. For some reason it feels cathartic but I have been looking for a digital solution also.
I used to use graph paper notebooks for that and it was precious to me. But when the projects got much bigger and had more moving pieces I wanted to be able to break them down and hide things I didn't want to see all the time.
