Launched Code with Andrea 2.0!

After a few months in design and development, I finally launched my new site this week:

Along the way, I figured out it would be cool to create a Flutter web clone of the home page, and post a video+article with some performance benchmarks of my live site vs the Flutter clone:

As it turns out, this went quite viral on social media and even generated a big spike on Google Discover.

As a result, traffic to my site quadrupled during launch and doubled over a single week.

In turn, I got a bunch of new email signups. And since I'm doing Black Friday, I got a bump in sales too (though smaller than expected).

Overall, this has been an exciting week (I never had so much traffic on my site at once!). I'm very happy about how the new site has been received, and I'm curious to see what the new baseline will be once things settle down a bit.

Definitely some good material for my end-of-year retro!
