BWN: Positioning and Portfolio
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 126[GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going OnMy own websiteI made my portfolio finally lol. It's not really targeted for work, but the structure resonated with me. It's kind of like a landing page for my life. I thought it cute to have all of the "chapters" have their own theme and stuff. So the all the colors and fonts change on click. I spent a good amount of time writing out each of the learnings MudboardI think the launch went as well as I could have hoped for, and I'm pretty happy about it! I have more clarity now. Right now my differentiation is that the UX is nice, and that board creation and organizing is good. That's already solid. But I think the best direction to head in is having reusable and sharable sections. So instead of sharing the whole board, you share just the section. And then you can reuse sections in your own boards. Then this evolves to being a platform with baked in network effects. Not just simply being a personal tool, and that has a way better shot. What I've been thinking aboutThis is a new journey I'm going on! Hope that it works out, but even if not I already am learning a ton. Goal right now is to apply for this thing in September which aligns with my goals Thank you!Next Newsletter June 25th! Shop | Previous posts | Main website |

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 134 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On Random Drawings Drew some icons for a friend's website Mudboard Surprisingly, I still have regular users, and one of them asked for a better text editor. So I threw that together It made me very happy to do this actually. Glad it's still helpful for people. Coming back to this codebase after a month or so, I'm pleasantly surprised how complex this app is but also how fun it is to use. Good job past Andrw Quail Ok so...
Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 133 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On Drew some dude holding an orange Quail We pushed out a version and got people trying it. Things are moving way faster than I had in the past, which is very nice (I really didn't know what I was doing earlier), but also kind of scary....like people are paying for what I built? That's a lot of pressure.... It's very nice to be working with someone else though. Old Stuff What I've been thinking about Thinking a lot about...
