My, oh, my this feels good. Authentication is fully set up. I love the modern tooling we have for dev. By making use of AWS Cognito and @tailwindui I've chopped a TON of dev time off. #buildinpublic

gm #buildinpublic, I’m about to kick off day 3 of my push. Yesterday I got past the backend and setup my frontend. Got stuck with an annoying bug in create react app 5.0.0. May go back to 4.x this morning if I can’t resolve this ESLint compile issue quickly.

What they don't tell you about building a SaaS. How much time you spend googling random errors vs actual coding/marketing/etc. 😱 #buildinpublic #startups

It’s day 2 of my #buildinpublic week! Finishing up some coffee then back cracking at my API.

Lunch 🥗, workout🚶🏻‍♂️, fed the 🐓, now time to get back at it. I really enjoy working from home, but working from home on my own project 🔥 #buildinpublic

Decision made. I'm starting the frontend and API from scratch. There are 3 major updates in my stack I want to make use of: @tailwindui supports react better, API definition isn't YAML based, and I want to use @HookForm #buildinpublic

So far I've found that...

- I had a large commit I never committed 🤦🏻‍♂️
- It's more complete than I recalled 🔥
- The code is far messier than I remember (I was teaching myself React) 💩
- EVERYTHING is out of date. 😱

And here goes something! Kicking off my #buildinpublic week on @interweave. Started my day with the same routine as a normal workday some time for prayer, ☕️, and a workout (a newer addition).

I know what I'm making, just have to figure out where I'm starting from.

Monday morning I start my #buildinpublic marathon to launch @InterweaveApp. Super excited. I operate best with tight deadlines, so I should be at my best … and holy crap what have I committed too! 😅

T-minus 18 days till my "5 days of #buildinpublic". I'll be working on my side-project 5 days straight. My goal is to go from idea/mockups/landing page ➡ code ➡ launch during the week between Christmas and New Years Day.

Lots of great #buildinpublic out there. Any recommendations on who’s killing it and should be followed?

Made myself a handy roadmap to beta last night. Awesome to see the path to launch now. I'm using Interweave daily and that's highlighted some obvious needs. But more importantly, it's highlighted what a whole product solution looks like. #BuildInPublic

Do you do customer surveys or have a product feedback portal? Or wish you did?

Are you open to a couple questions via DM about why and desired outcomes to help me on my startup @InterweaveApp? If so my DM is open, thanks! #prodmgmt #ProductManagement #BuildInPublic #startups

Milestone: Using @InterweaveApp for customer discovery for @InterweaveApp 💯 #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic week 12 update incoming! Back to my original format for these updates. Bite-sized bits for those following the journey. 🧵👇🏼

Week 11 #BuildInPublic progress report for @InterweaveApp. A couple lessons learned, stats on progress, and plans for week 12. Link below or just read the 🧵below. bryansmith.io/Interweave-Pro…

11 weeks into my #BuildInPublic of @Interweave. The last few weeks have been slow going as I grappled learning some fundamentals of AWS Serverless computing. 🤓

But week 11 put that part of the saga behind me and I'm back making clear product progress again. 🙌🏻

For those following along on my #BuildInPublic journey, I've finally beat my DynamoDB data model and my API's for it are all done. I'm back solidly in app making land again! 🎉 FEELS SO GOOD!!!

Time for my weekly #BuildInPublic progress report for Interweave. Week 10!

Side project weekly progress report time! What can you get done working nights and weekends (while not ignoring you loving family)? A surprising amount, just not always what you want though. #buildinpublic Here's what got done this week on @InterweaveApp
