Who's hustling? Wednesday Stand Up!

Hey guys! This is my first post.
I am building a platform where people around the world can download my daily UI practices source files and use them however and wherever they want.

EPIC

@ildiko Good idea and the landing page looks great. I think the share pop up will be effective. It was another touch point that primed my brain to subscribe. How are you spreading the word about https://www.uidesigndaily.com/?

@Janice this daily practice is inspiring, keep up the great work!
@jpusateri very impressive concept, look forward to seeing your progress

Summer Wrapup
Sooo...I took a lot of time off from side projects this summer. I needed it for me and the kiddos to recuperate from some ridiculous life stuff and establish some stability for the school year. I decided to homeschool the kids this year, and we started this week. The fulltime gig has kept up a brisk pace and I'm running implementation point on some really large voice/video projects.

In the meantime I was writing down notes as they came to me, getting out into the world, and gelling things over. So as a result, the concepts and approach for Announcr have become significantly more refined, and I am spending much less time on Magnus Rush. I spend way less time in the car listening to podcasts than I used to because my weekly double commute to MA is gone now. In addition, I got to see the perfect scenario for Announcr play out in my town when a new restaurant opened. It was extremely validating.

Kudos
@Janice for shouting me out Sunday. Been planning my return since I got the email notification. It sucked being away, but had to put family first
@ildiko for deciding to post today!

Epic
By the end of September, Announcr will be ready to bring out to do some live demos and begin talking to potential customers in my town. I'll also have an outline ready of material I need to create for a draft sales training process.

Yesterday

• Revised my 1-page summary for Announcr

Today

• Update my development environment
• Run a new mobile build for Announcr, see why my FB login isn't working anymore
• Move everything into the Unscheduled bucket and re-establish dev tasks for the month

Just working on the prototype, it's tough, but I think I have something that kinda works for an experiment. It's still not usable, but I should be done in a week where I can have an experimental playground. To explore how my idea will work. Coding is mentally draining.

@tdbryant2 on organizing his outreach efforts. GO get em!

SIDE NOTE
Today has been nothing but reacting and making sure to not mess up any opportunities. NOTE to SELF - Helen you CAN'T DO late-nights any more. NO more WORKing late, Netflixing late, YouTube or Insta! YOU NEED to DO Sales in the MORNING! Time to grow up! No more late-nights.

EPIC

• Release new macOS product on Apple App Store
• Release Vimalin 64 bits for macOS Catalina

YESTERDAY

• Started on adding content to the database for "new app"
• Spent an hour at the pool, until I was completely exhausted.

TODAY

• Adding more data to the database which is basically scraping a website that no longer exists (web.archive.org for the win)

• Try to contact the original author of the site I am scraping, which is not easy as there are no contact details anywhere.

KUDOS
Kudos to @tdbryant2 for building a beautiful site at http://joinjukebox.com/ that certainly shows some promise.
