#daily-stand-up
The weekly retrospective gives hackers the space to:
To join in:
01 Share your epic (a big chunk of work with a meaty objective) you'd like to complete by the end of March.
02 Share your triumphs for the week.
03 Share your failures for the week.
04 Share your course corrects/game plan moving forward.
05 Give feedback to at least one fellow hacker and give them an IH Point for their check in.
Optional:
06 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.
(Smiling) The regular scheduled stand up will resume tomorrow.

FAILS
COURSE CORRECTS/GAME PLAN
Today, I commit to a reckoning --- see how much I've spent on illustrators/retouchers. From this point forward, I check the budget prior to throwing dollars.
I won't meet all of my goals. Which is tough to take. But the goals were gnarly ambitious. And ultimately, a bit of carry-over won't kill me. I'll continue to focus on delivery content and promoting the content that I have churned.
This week, I'm excited to:
( 1 ) Wrap up the scraping algorithm.
( 2 ) Churn more content.
( 3 ) Lay the ground for my bread and butter experiment.
(Grinning) Might as well see if I can increase that organic count. And because @louisswiss keeps inquiring... put into Google search Jeanius. I'm usually on the first or second page of the search results. Occasionally, the third page. I'm the one with "ass" in the description.
Feedback welcomed!
Awesome!
Site looks great! (although for some reason the hero section is displaying at >100% width on my macbook using Chrome, so some of the main CTA is cut off)
You know you can reach out if you need help with scraping :)
Congrats! Your sites always look amazing, and I think part of that is you have an awesome focus on niches and have a good idea of your target market (in addition to spending loads of cash haha).
Always excited to see what you're working on and the path you're taking!
I admire your tenacity and commitment so much. Scraping algorithms are tough! Every company should just have a nice free public API ;)

Good job working through the slumps! Definitely understand that feeling. I often have trouble getting over what other people see as small hurdles. Like having too many options for an implementation and not doing anything because of it :-P I have to tell myself "it's ok to play around and try new things - it can be reversed if it doesn't work out!" haha
Haha I literally had that exact issue. "Implement a download manager" was my big story for the weekend (you know why!). It was so big and gnarly that until I started busting it up into smaller pieces and putting them into the "ready for development" track, I just didn't even start on it. It's like PacMan needs the little balls lined up before he can CHOMP.
I'm not trying to push my product, but I would like some feedback on something I built specifically because I wanted it. Wonder if you find the idea useful as well.
Brisa has this feature where every card can be a board. For example, I have my main Brisa beta kanban, and if I have a big task like "Live Updates," I open the card, tell it to add a kanban, and then that card has its own throw-away kanban where I break down the tasks, work on them individually, and then that card moves to Done in the main kanban after everything is complete.
It creates a sort of nested/tree structure to large projects.
I don't think it's fitting for every task, but it has been helpful to me in a few instances. Wondering if other people think it has value.
I have the same thing I can do in Clubhouse, which is to add tasks to a story. It is useful sometimes, though I prefer to break the hierarchy and just add the new tasks in as stories sometimes
Yeah, definitely. I use it sparingly. When something is too overwhelming, having a nice, clean board with just the tasks for that sub-project is helpful. But most of the time, I don't use it.
Also, another IH post just reminded me of the term "analysis paralysis" -- I think it affects me a bit too easily! haha

CONCERNS
The usual. When is this thing going to be out of beta? When will I feel like "wow, I want the world to see this?" I'm showing it to more people I'm close to, and they do find value, but it takes some explaining before the UI even makes sense. About to have some other friends of mine (more pjm/product people) try it for a side project, and not looking forward to explaining how it works again (well, and excited to do that as well haha).
