The struggle is very real… build an audience before you launch they say. 15 years of growth marketing experience screams that. But all I wanna do is build!

Not too visual yet for soca.so but @digitalocean Serverless Functions are up! Done: ✅ Fetching news w/ semantic keywords match ✅ #NLP processing for tagging. Next: 🎯Post to Strapi, configure hooks!

Lot of 1st times today: writing code in @QwikDev, connecting it to @strapijs, using Modular Forms (slick stuff, @FabianHiller!), learning state management and deploying on @vercel — soca.so. The performance is 🚀 🤯

Taking on a 7-Day challenge to get soca.so (climate news and info discovery) out while at a lakeside haven. When you make stuff, it’s important to find some deeper meaning to it. #SOCA feels like it does. Day 1 is API exploration. #BuildinPublic. #workonclimate

Been growing products for decade+ and been building products for a bit. One ☝️ thing I’ve learnt; when in doubt, create what users will be delighted by.

Thoughts on #BuildInPublic: What it should be. And what it’s becoming (in some cases).

**Should be:**
1) Tapping into global expertise
2) Sharing the wins and the struggles
3) Finding support
4) Generating interest & feedback.
5) Getting your first customers.

#OpenStartups

But what I am seeing increasingly more of:

1) More outcomes than processes
2) Sharing mostly the wins or only the money struggles
3) Focus is on it becoming a “growth hack”

As I join the bandwagon, my intent is straight - deliver on the 5 Should-Be’s. In order.

The miserable feeling of guilt when you know the coming-soon page has been out there for too long. The not-so-fun-side of #buildinpublic that doesn’t get admitted too often…

Applying realtime filtering, sector mapping & fuzzy-logic search to sift through hundreds of thousands of of data-points. While trying to be as nimble as possible. #BuildInPublic on #Meilisearch, #strapijs

Something <big> is brewing. And I do mean big, definitely in terms of size, and hopefully in terms of actual impact as well. #BuildInPublic #climatetech. Building w/ @strapijs @tailwindcss, @meilisearch.

New love— 🌱 @strapijs + ⚡️@meilisearch = ❤️‍🔥! Integrating typo-tolerant search, customizing and deploying, all in a couple of hrs! The performance is unreal. This is comparing just the API response between #WordPress REST vs Meilisearch.

The simple pleasures of beginning, learning from scratch and giving back to the community. My first contribution to the @strapijs #devcommunity. Build it like your hair’s on fire!🔥
