Look at all those accomplishments yesterday! Well played!
Girl, I'm trying... make luck happen that is. Preparing for a visit from Opportunity 😄
EPIC FOR JULY
Landing page a.s.a.p. And work on the real product with my cofounder.
YESTERDAY
Yesterday I made too little to no progress on the landing page
TODAY
03 - Today I want to finish the landingpage, newslettersubscription and write up the first content.
Just doing this for some accountability.
Kudos to @Harlem for every day arranging this standup.
Good luck on the landing page! Get it up and ask for feedback if you're comfortable, can be a huge benefit for you!
Thanks for the kudos!

@Davey you know we're here for you. Don't let them, sharks get to ya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w
So glad to have your ass back! But what happened to your podcast venture?
Magnus Rush is actually slowly growing in users, and I use it almost daily so it will continue on and get minor improvements in the short-mid term. BUT I have the rare opportunity to obtain investment for ONE of my side projects. Announcr has a significantly higher total addressable market and could be a fantastic investment vehicle due to the need and mechanic for growth. So I'm super focusing on it for the summer to prepare.

Well narrowing focus to business on Amazon helps quite a bit! (And have you thought of tailoring your landing page content accordingly?)
Have you researched online courses that specialize in helping folks either create (perhaps too small of a player) or grow their Amazon business? My first step would be to establish relationships with the major players in that game, plus target Facebook ads toward their squad. That could be the start of a lovely sales funnel.
Also Amazon recently started a entrepreneurial program within which folks can serve as shipping hubs. It might be helpful to position yourself as the "expert" of such and perhaps develop your own online course.
Thanks for the tips! Would you mind linking me to that Amazon program, hadn't heard about it.
Yeah, affiliates have been my most successful channel so far, so that's an ongoing thing to get more of those educators signed up. I'll have a look at some Facebook ads, but I hate to spend ad money without having a good funnel in place first.
I definitely need to work on those landing pages! I'm going to launch a few separate landing pages based on those buyer personas I'm working on.
01 - soft launch: Have the base library, documentation (both manual and API) publically accessible. Have license terms, payment gateway and sales contact on the site.
02 -
done: hit good stopping point on optimization;
deferred: GUI development. Became clear the dev tooling for potential customers for building service components is a higher priority.
blocked: further research on license agreement terms. Waiting on response for now.
03 - Technical goal is the have a sbt plugin that includes the necessary settings for building service components completed. Unfortunately, today is likely an off day due to chronic pain BS. :\
04 - TBA kudos to @helengriffinjr for nice progress on sales.
@coreyoconnor feel better! Take it easy, I'm learning the hard way to put my health first.
Thanks for the Kudos and welcome back to the #daily-stand-up family! So any updates your SBT tool will sync whatever app or code base using the library?
No significant updates :\ Getting closer; slowly but surely.
Sorry about the chronic pain! What's an SBT plugin? (And is this your first entry into the fray?)
Yea it's a pain in the neck... literally haha!
This is technically my second standup entry, so effectively yes :)
SBT is the "scala build tool". An SBT plugin is a library for projects using SBT. They automatically add to any build using the plugin. In this case the plugin sets up a project to build a server component. And it looks like:
