MVP at last!

It has taken me over a year to build the Veghacker MVP in roughly 1 hour per week of spare time. Progress has been glacial, but I have discovered some upsides to having such limited capacity:

1. I’ve had 10x more thinking time than coding time. I prioritise ruthlessly so that I never waste precious coding time building features that aren’t absolutely necessary.

2. It’s forced me to choose a very fast, lightweight tech stack so that can do useful work even when I only have a few minutes to spare. Sometimes, I don’t even open a code editor - I can tweak code directly in GitHub using my phone and within a few seconds Netlify has deployed it for me 😲

3. I have had a whole year of using the app myself. I’ve used it every day, even though it barely functioned until recently. It was always a “solving my own problem” kind of app, and I have validated that it works for me.

Now that all the core features are in place, I’m going to be inviting a few people to give me feedback. If you are reading this, you are one of those people 😉

Open https://veghacker.app on your phone and record the vegetables that you’ve eaten. Your objective is to eat an array of veg every week, so try it for a week or two and let me know what you think 😃
