Try to Build in Public
The Proof is in the pudding 🕵️🧾 #
Like most developers, I am overly confident that I can build a product that people use on my own; without having done it before. This is my latest attempt at it!
I've had other attempts, most of them never go public. I choose a set of tools, build something, get the POC running locally, and move on to the next thing. It's been a while since I try, so let's try again!
I'm hoping this time it'll be a little bit different.

I'm hoping to try a slightly different approach. Although the long term goal is to build something people can use, I will have more short term immediate goals.
The short term goals are:
- Find a stack I like
- Get comfortable iterating quickly with that stack
- Make it publicly accessible
- Write about it weekly
I don't... love these goals. Most are a bit unspecific and hard to measure. But I'm going to bias towards defining this for now, and polish how to measure them later. But I can try to define them a bit.
Let's see how long this lasts.
What's in your mind: #
I have an idea of something I want to build. But before I dream big, I'm trying out some smaller projects to see if I can write those first, and find something I like.
First project is a Time Budgetting app. Here is what I got so far:
Doesn't look like much, but it's letting play with some of the frontend setup stuff. We'll see how it works out.
