Why?

That extra nudge of accountability to achieve even a small step on your IH journey each day.

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 July.

02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

04 COMMNET on AT LEAST ONE fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in. Let's get in there with the encouragement/feedback!

Optional:

05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.

Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!

  1. 3

    Family is in town for til the end of the week.

    Trying to pound out some client code in the mornings to meet deadlines but other than that not much is happening for the next few days except some automated api planning. Need to pare down ambitions to get the AutomatedAPI concepts to a bare minimum sell-able state.

    Like what I'm seeing the last couple days on these threads.

  2. 3

    01 - soft launch: Have the base library, documentation (both manual and API), and build tools publically accessible. Have license terms and sales flow (either contact or direct payment gateway) on the site.

    02 -

    done: about 50% of the customer build tooling (sbt plugin)

    blocked: further research on license agreement terms. Waiting on response for now.

    03 - Goal is to add all build configuration that is not optional into plugin. First part should a pure refactoring of splitting code from the existing build code.

    Weekly sync with the rest of the team. Reach out to lawyer help for any updates. They are volunteering their time so... no pressure :)

    04 - @ItsSteve mmm beer

    Announcr

    1. 1

      I didn't quite follow you yesterday... Did you mean that you've expressed investor interest in Announcr? Or that you think Announcr is the better play to garner investment? Either way, I'm glad to see ( 1 ) you're focused; but ( 2 ) Magna Rush is still in the mix!

      1. 1

        I have investor interest in both projects. Obviously the investors will want me to focus on one project, Announcr is a much better play for investment, so I'm going to focus all my time there. Well, all the time not spent on the dayjob and summering with all my kids, who are with me fulltime now hehe. Magnus Rush is still in the mix, not going to shut it down or anything.
