Weekend One Thing at a Time (OTAT),have completed the backend and parts of frontend. It is able to sort task now. One of the things that I struggle with is distractions and after I sort the list in terms of what I want to do first, it is still jumbled up. With OTAT, you just focus ! #buildinpublic
I think this is a reminder to myself everyday. Sometimes we get buried in some other work that we forget to show up for ourselves and in our projects.
It's the new year and my e-ink calendar shows 365 days remaining. It's going to be a great year ahead! Attracting good health and opportunities for the year. Woke up feeling good and continue working on OTAT, my focused to-do list application. I think breaking down into small task helps me! #adhd
So I'm setting my mind to building One Thing at a Time - a mantra which I always use when I'm getting overwhelmed at times. It's a tool which only ask you to focus on one task.Building this slowly and honestly.
Changing task and working on multiple things and ending up being exhausted through constant fire-fighting.I guess it's the seeing too many task on my list and nothing gets done really.
It's coming to the end of the year and I have had so many ideas in my idea book that it's becoming overwhelming. Adding to the list of work items that need to be complete, it seems nearly impossible.I find that because of this, time actually flies by while my brain tries to do context-switching;
I think posting here is quite therapeutic while in the midst of building first my SaaS product.
I'm currently building a AI image generator which allows people to upload their photos and it transforms their photos into a unique art styles which they can share easily.
It's getting easier to someone to build an application, but the fundamentals don't change -> Learning how to architect the application correctly, database fundamentals, user requirements gathering. I see AI as an amplifier and enabler for your thoughts. #coding
I think what we sometimes need is more clarity in where we want to go. Yes, everyone is just figuring out and making things up as we go along, but without a destination to go to, we might be just walking in circles.
Taking this advice to heart, today is Sunday and it's planning day.
Yes, that's a very good insight, thanks for sharing !
Yes, I agree. Give the market a solution it wants. How do you gauge interest then? Through a MVP ?
What is MVP? Something that delivers a complete,minimal experience for users?
With this competitive market, is it still possible to find niches that resonate with certain groups of users?
The age old advice still applies, build it and distribute it and the market will let you know #buildinpublic
Thanks for the heads up!
For me the best part of creating a new app is the database design. I like designing database schema and I can imagine what I want from the system and the setting up of the database schema makes me feel like it has already a good foundation to build on. #buildinpublic #programming
Had a eureka moment yesterday. I had a site which the requirements needed to have multi language support and I'm just toying with the idea of my template builder.
And I guess this is what people call a validated problem.
So I guess it's time to work on the product. #buildinpublic
Was just wondering if I were to start a learning resource for beginners in using AI for their work, will there be any interest from the crowd here?
Went to his profile, can't find what his SaaS was about though
Just joined your Discord channel. This project looks interesting!
Saw an inspiring message today while scrolling - "You are enough". Thought it is a simple but yet powerful message, hence would like to share this with you guys and also a reminder to myself.
With the world in such chaotic times, I know there are many people who are struggling currently. Wanted to send my heart out to you "Even amidst the fiercest storms, remember that every raindrop dances on its own journey".
It is more important then ever, to slow down and embrace the small joys.
The Almanack of Naval is a major inspiration to me.
I think it's 50/50. The thrill keeps you happy while you are developing and the satisfaction of the achievement makes you look back and congratuate yourself on how far you have come.
Hey Logan ! Nice to meet a fellow builder!
Those who have lived through the days of COBOL will probably experience carpal tunnel syndrome from constantly hitting at the spacebar. I loved it !
Enjoyed C too.
One regret I had was not picking up Pascal.
What things would you guys have wanted to pick up if you had a chance again?
Yup, I'm reading up the documentation before whirling it up this weekend. I'll circle back !
I think the hard cutoffs are a great idea. It signals the brain to transit to another mode from working. Many a time even after work, our brains are still mulling over the issues, causing disconnection and sometimes sleepless nights.
I tend to cook, play with my cats or go bowling to switch off.
For all your #coders, and #builders and the #buildinpublic crowd, what are you guys doing to maintain your mental health? Do you work on your hobbies? Or meet up with friends? Or mediate quietly?
We lead such stressful lives in such stressful times it just feels like quite stifling at times.
Totally can relate. Many years back there was a blackout at my area and my house was the only one with the connection and table lamp still on, albeit with the UPS beeping in the background.
I would go with SimplyMonitor, since both are actual words themselves and putting them together seems more elegant.
