      May has been quite a month for you!

      1. 2

        I suppose a solid month is good. Curious if I can do a repeat performance! We'll find out in July!

  2. 3

    My now biweekly update, I guess. Today is the last time I mention DNN as a daily work item goal for product development. It's meant to augment some daily work and Automated Api content stuff down the road, not to take precedence.

    2019 EPIC

    • 5 paying customers for Automated API
    • grow Threadbase.io by 25 paying users
    • 250 downloads of DotNetNitro artifacts (code or extension)

    MAY EPIC

    • Get content trickling for Threadbase as demonstrated by 4 articles and 4 email chain additions (still optimistic about this)
    • Launch DotNetNitro as demonstrated by live site with link to deployed artifact, downloadable source code for 4 templates, and install-able VS 2019 extension. (on track)
    • Get AutomatedAPI live and running as demonstrated by 10 alpha users (0/10), right now it looks like this might slip due to competing life stuff

    SINCE LAST WE SPOKE:

    • Pretty kick ass party thrown and I even managed to do some product work before kicking it off
    • [DNN] linked up the github page to the homepage, updated one of the templates to use fillmurray as dummy images by default. You're welcome world.
    • [DNN] Tested extension creation, need to refine template insertion process

    IN THE PIPE/SINCE I DIDN'T QUITE GET TO THEM:

    • [DNN] Finish blog template and get it in the github site
    • [DNN] Get the Templates into a VS extension.
    • [Threadbase] Research and write 4 more emails in one sitting, then plan review sessions before actually getting them in the Mailchimp pipe. Goal is to complete the Threadbase epic this week.

    KUDOS:
    @Davey and @Harlem for being way more regular on these than I seem able to do recently.

        What he said... inquiring minds want to know!

      2. 1

        Ha, just friends and family and drinks and sun and fire. Had the potential to be boring of course (I live in the unincorporated part of Shitsville, Illinios), but it turned out pretty solid.
