It's been almost 2 months since I started on this little project but I've made a lot of progress! Today, I pushed the final features to production for my launch. Now it's a waiting game to get approved on the Slack app store and then commence with the "real" launch!
It's weird shipping my first live service product that is now changing all the time. It's nerve wracking to know that if I screw up, it could interrupt the experience of using the app for paying customers.
I'm also grappling with the temptation to optimize for scale too early. I purposefully just launched a feature that I'm sure will be refactored within a year if I gain any traction. I'm excited though to use it as a learning opportunity for making "large" data migrations in a production environment.
Stoked for the next few weeks!
