Ruby's MBA Jobs

I received two emails for newsletter signups this week, but I hadn't built out a plan for the newsletter. I shipped a very early iteration of what I'd like to become a weekly newsletter, so will need to investigate Mailchimp or alternatives.

Excited that two people found the website and believed in it enough to share their email addresses!

I was toying with the idea of spending several months going deep on JS to make my first app, then heard @csallen's interview with @bramk discussing https://nocodemvp.com/ and I figured it was the perfect way to get something out into the world. Although I didn't sign up for the tool, I followed a couple of tutorials on https://www.makerpad.co/ and had my MVP ready to go in a few days using Webflow, Zapier, and Google Sheets!

The hardest part was switching my domain settings across from Bluehost to Webflow, but I'm pretty happy with the results after a little UI tweaking: https://www.rubysmbajobs.com/

After several weeks working on the back end and creating a simple blog interface, I saw the opportunity to join the YC Build Sprint as I'd been perusing the Startup School Content. I set my goal to build an MVP within the 4 week sprint, and look forward to September 20th!

I had spent 9 months working on someone else's project and, just as we were about to launch, he pulled the plug. This reinforced my determination to pursue my own software company and I began working on my idea for a career management platform.

As this is very much a part-time pursuit, I spend a few weeks building up a way to collect jobs data so I could start capturing market trends in my hometown of Boston, specifically focused on MBA grads looking to work in the technology industry.
