#BuildInPublic Day 93 (Tues): LESSON: MVP's are great to build fast to test the market. They're a bitch to fix to get to a production launch.

Might have been smarter to scrap and rebuild from scratch?

No looking back now, we're in the sprint. ⚡️

#BuildInPublic Day 92 (Mon): LESSON when for Google security audit...

Don't split your landing page and app log in on different servers. Keep everything on the same environment. May seen obvious, but apparently not 🙃

Day 90 (Sat) #buildinginpublic : Company financials/ marketing math. Running scenarios on targets we need to hit to have a positive viral coefficient👊
