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 |

That's been nice. What I've been thinking about I'm not sure Mudboard will work out. I don't have many users and the interest is not strong.

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 129 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On I didn't draw anything so I'm just gonna talk about Mudboard Mudboard It's been about 3 months and I think things have evolved. I wrote a lil article about why Mudboard should exist. So remember how I have this grid format with like a "mirror mode." It was cool, but I realized it didn't too anything too unique. random images Next thing I tried, I built a way to reuse the references (the right panel) I think it's...
