      You’re killing it with that course. Did you have a mailing list built out? How are you acquiring customers?

      1. 2

        Thank you! I did. That sucker was 8 years in the making. (Smiling) It feels like cheating. I sent out a few emails and boosted a post on an existing platform.

  2. 5

    Epic: Launch Naminator, Bianna, and Dating site by end of 2019. Have one of them gain traction.

    Today: Finally finished re-architecting Naminator’s backend to allow for a progress percentage to be shown while names are being generated.

    Tomorrow: Integrate the new backend with the front end, get that damn progress percentage to finally show up.

    1. 2

      Holy hell, you're busy! I just checked out DotNetNitro for the first time! Awesome!

      1. 1

        Thanks, it's actually an extension of something I thought could help me deliver faster for clients, figure I ought to just share some of it. Dunno if it ever generates money in the future, but I'm happy if it all it does is help other devs work faster. Should help me get eyeballs and build a list too.

        I mean, there's plenty of money and work to go around :P Why not share...
