UI Foundations

Sales have been trickling in ever since prerelease and with the first 2 modules out and the course in prerelease I've now had over 3k in revenue.

The initial launch on Twitter was by far the most impactful, and tweeting and posting on other boards and sites since then has helped lead to a few more sign ups here and there. Now for more content!

I decided to prerelease the project to derisk me building, and others purchasing, by making a discounted version available with the content I'd finished.

In 2 days, I had ~4 digits of revenue with double digit customers and triple digit signups to the newsletter. Very motivated to keep building!

I hacked on an initial platform that used MDX with React to get some of the design tips I'd made into a longer form format that I could render in modules and lessons.

By deferring some of the trickier pieces of app building to Supabase I got moving pretty quickly and had what I'd consider an MVP almost ready at this point.

I'd been thinking about building something to teach design for a while. I shared this tweet that got some good traction: https://twitter.com/gill_kyle/status/1413986359711133698

From that point I realized I could follow the pattern of some friends who had released courses and use it as a chance to build some things I love.
