π’ Day 271 - Market research?
After finally being mentally satisfied the product I want to build can indeed be built, the focus now is on market validation.
The biggest question to answer is who is the ideal initial customer?

π Day 269 - Improved font selection
Added initial improvements to font selection π.
There is little innovation around font selection even on Dribble. Designer friends, what is that all about? π±

π Day 268 - Font Research
Trying to define a curated list of fonts to show 20-50 instead of 1400 π±.
Learned a lot about fonts thanks to
@typewolf
and
@HuaTweets
.
Still, I feel fonts feel unnecessarily opaque and complex. What do you think?

π Day 251-253 - fear & doubt
I started to get depressed, feeling doubt and uncertain about the direction.
Why?
Last two weeks I made little progress. A Family visit followed by a week of being semi-sick. This sucked.
But...

π Day 249-250 - Buggy Gradient Text
It started as a simple: "ok, I think I can hack this lib in an hour..."
Two days later, it is a more fundamental bug that has to do with inconsistencies in Chrome.
More details are below. Tech is hard too.

π Day 245 - Storytelling
Decided to refocus on making
@conceptual_so
the best tool to tell your personal story in a visual way.
That means using it for my
#buildinpublic
journey.
The first feature is uploading a screenshot/photo in Notion-like tab UI.
Thoughts? Requests?
