# End of Year
Have at least 25 subscribers to The UX Mini Course
# Yesterday
Wrote some landing page copy, identified product benefits/features, and worked on customer development for a React/Next.js-based boilerplate
# Today
Bought the domain for The UX Mini Course and soft-launched on IH and SideProjects.net
https://the-ux-mini-course.com
I didn't really do any work yesterday or today, but two days ago I launched https://tinydevcrm.com as a landing page and collected 37 people who want to be part of an early adopters group. I also open sourced the custom Hugo theme I made for a coming soon page @ https://github.com/yingw787/hugo-theme-carrd50 and the actual "Coming Soon" page instance @ https://github.com/yingw787/tinydevcrm-comingsoon
Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll be able to knock out Chapter 15 of "The Haskell Book", but I'm not counting on it. I think feeling brain wants to take a breather and maybe catch up on some other reading for the Christmas holidays.
End of Year: Another paying customer ✌️
Yesterday: Content marketing 📜
Today: Add advanced filtering to the View Hashtags page 💻
Hey Justin, just took a look at your posts on IH about Curate, really inspiring! Would be great to know more about the architecture/stack of the app and maybe some info on how you collected the data you needed. Also, what did you mean by "approved by facebook/instagram"?
Thanks! Appreciate the love.
Everything JS haha. I'm no javascript stan, it's just better that way with a react app, api, background processes, web scrapers, chrome extension and ghost blog all in the same language.
Web scraping now-a-days is pretty great. More and more advantages are surfacing for engineers to write automation that performs exactly like a human and therefore alleviating a lot of the fear of scraping.
Curate is using the Instagram Graph API which is only allowed for businesses that have gone through the approval process for the correct permissions.
Hey, thanks for the reply, that's really helpful! Did you have any fears about having to maintain an app/API and chrome extension all at once? I can see how it would be useful to have them all in the same language to reduce context switching.
No, it's been fun and easy so far!
Great! Congrats. Will follow you, look forward to more of your posts!
Today
