How do you store documentation for your project private APIs?
For mygoodweek.com I just store them in .md files like that. There should be a better way 🤔

As an engineer, I have to admit - I am bad with UX design. This is a form I put together for creating "Activity" - the key entity in my product - mygoodweek.com

Let's see what is wrong with it and how UX person was able to help me with it. Thread 🧵⬇️

@googlecalendar ♥️ @github
Now I can get any events from my Google Calendar and display them as a year timeline like in GitHub!🔥

This is the favorite feature I released for mygoodweek.com so far.

The biggest challenge now is to make My Good Week easy to use for newcomers as many of them get very confused about how to use it - not very intuitive!
My UI is very engineer-like, so I am reworking it now with the participation of normal people and a designer :)

My inbox looks like this tonight! 🔥
Every minute one or two users join mygoodweek.com because of a viral tweet mentioning it. The power of social networks is overwhelming!
And we crossed 1000 registered users today 🌟
#buildinpublic

It has been a productive week!
My Good Week now looks much nicer and users can quickly edit/delete/create events for their activity.
I use it myself almost every day :)

It is challenging when your first users turn out to be from countries, where English is not the main language, but with a bit of effort, we already support 4 languages!

A couple of challenging parts of i18n of SaaS is in the 🧵 below

Here is mine: app.mygoodweek.com/s/slava-gym-mg…
I try to go to the gym at least 2 times a week! You can see my progress in real-time 💪

Today's release of mygoodweek.com is invisible to users, but bringing a lot of value to the product:
⭐️ Reworked error handling on the front-end
⭐️ Custom events tracking in Google Analytics
⭐️ Better experience with @crisp_im by setting email and user id

As requested by users, the order of activities in My Good Week can be changed.
Sometimes it takes little effort to get a significant impact on convenience!

Today I am experimenting with email sending for my SaaS - mygoodweek.com.
Tried mailchimp, a couple of smaller services, but stopped on @SendGrid. Very friendly API, reasonable free tear, works like a charm. Will try to engage users more with emails.

Working with time data in any project is a pain, but if you are literally developing an app for people to manage their time better - you are in trouble!
Did you know there are countries where a week starts on Saturday? :O

For those building SaaS, do not be scared of setting up subscriptions and payment systems.
Stripe has the best API documentation I have ever seen. It took me literally a couple of days to set everything up.
Check it out yourself: stripe.com/docs

#buildinpublic

I have been avoiding building a payment subscription page for a while. I thought it would be a challenging task as it involves handling money. Turned out it is very simple with @stripe
Now you can subscribe to @MyGoodWeek Premium and support its development ❤️
