    Epic

    Finish working on www.regirank.com and launch it.
    Send at least 100 cold emails about it.

    Yesterday

    I've managed to get the production environment for RegiRank ready for the launch(ssl, running on digital ocean, subdomain connected to the app and so on)

    Today

    Today I have a long flight(around 5h) so I don't expect to get much done, hopefully I will improve the landing page for the previous mentioned saas.

    1. 2

      Your site looks awesome! I know this gets into a gray area, but I wonder if you would have any luck commenting on YouTube videos and linking your site where appropriate.

      1. 1

        I guess that could work, but I will probably start by cold emailing people that have big/medium YouTube channels and that are still active on youtube(being a programmer has it's perks, I can create a bot to do all the work of checking that)

  2. 3

    EPIC
    I will be working on https://madewithbulma.com
    A website to show your projects made with Bulma CSS.

    Yesterday
    Registered the domain and published the basic site.

    Today
    Add form to allow users to show their project.

        The bloomer package for React is a good way to get bulma going really easily too. It's super lightweight and clean. Cool idea @gopal

      2. 1

        You should check https://bulma.io/ It's pretty cool and moduler CSS framework based on Flexbox.

  3. 2

    End of Sept

    • Planning on handing out some test accounts

    Yesterday / past week

    • Dealing with apartment moving hell! Finally in the new place and somewhat settled and unpacked. Still managed to get some serious bug fixing done on the web app and tweak some more branding language on the landing page socialwise.io with some feedback from a social marketing friend

    Today

    • Late start at it having focused on housework this morning, planning on fixing an issue with getting a privateroute to work in React. Once that's buttoned away I'll probably look at actually deploying it onto digitalocean... always find that party slightly scary!

    Kudos to @MaddoxJack for his socialwise product. Besides me being a sucker for names with wise in it (my own company is called antwise), socialwise does sound like a pretty interesting product.

    1. 1

      haha thank you!

  5. 1

    EPIC
    Publish chapters 3-6 of the B2B SaaS Marketing Playbook by the end of September.

    YESTERDAY

    I also drafted an update and summary for email subscribers.

    TODAY
    Today I’ll make a plan on where to distribute Chapter 5. I’ll also do some high-level planning and upgrade Mailchimp to start scheduling emails.

    Struggled to start yesterday, too much noise around the house with a grandma convalescing and a gf that got off work early. Still managed to frame out another demo app, and put together some github projects that should help make other demo development easier.

    My goal today is to actually record a demo app development video and get it the hell online, then actually develop hook up all the service connections on my second demo app prototype (simple inventory management with Automated API).

    1. 1

      Good luck with your goals!
      What are you planning to use for the demo video? Or it will be just a screen recording?

      1. 1

        just screen recording, I'm a fan of camtasia

    On-call duty. This week may be a wash. Damn it.

    1. 2

      word...I hate on call duty, I have every intention of automating my products to the point that on-call is never a thing I have to ask a future employee to do

      1. 1

        That is a most noble goal!

        It is a dirty deed. But at the same time, it's one of the few job duties that justifies our ridiculously high salaries.

        1. 1

          Very true!
