    WIP: Envoy

    KUDOS
    @jpusateri shipping stage 2 of his API module support
    @janice on shipping bellybean quickly in order to validate it

    SIDENOTE
    Identified the initial issue and tasks I can do today as a consultant with Envoy. Understand the contexts to attract my niche software dev agencies/consultants into action. Even discovered a new mission (larger issue) to tackle next for this segment too.

    Also, I realized the research is never going to be done. As I continue talking to customers, the problem doc will need to be updated. It’s a living doc especially if I want a profitable business.

  6. 1

    Posting for Wednesday Europe time!

    YESTERDAY (and Monday)
    Performed a significant refactoring of application structure that will allow for much improved performance over the long run and the ability to actually have more than one account without the backend turning into a big 'ol mess.

    TODAY

    • Rewording subscription email on landing page so I feel happy sharing the page and initial interactions
    • Implement API keys
    • Deploy BETA on Digital Ocean (I think? Looking for the easiest solution for an express backend and react front end project)

    So today will involve watching some videos and learning some new tools!
