Building this in the open.

Notes from the evenings. What got built, what got decided, and what turned out to be wrong. Written for engineers rather than for investors.

  • First look at the builder

  • Starting with a name and a domain

    Choosing a brand, checking it was actually free, and getting a page online in a weekend. Including the deployment bug that cost an afternoon.
