Day23
Learned for: 6 hours
Big things happened today - the backend finally works! There are definitely still some bugs to fix and features to add (end session button, skip question button, etc), as well as some redesign of how the question/answer setup works + question generator thing too. Essentially there are still a lot of small things but the big thing works and it feels great. It was a very productive saturday morning + early afternoon, but I’m feeling a bit cooped up inside my room. I think I’ll try and move around to a different place tomorrow, even if it’s just a different room in the house.
The plan for tomorrow is to address some of the above listed features and bugs, really just refining the backend as much as I see fit. The overall plan is to get this bit done, then integrate with the FSRS stuff on Firebase to have the items actually get put into the DB and extracted for a review session that isn’t new topics. Then, once the whole thing works, I’ll put the voice mode on top of it, and make it mobile friendly for ios and android apps. I got time to do it, and at the same time I want to start do more organic advertising for it on Linkedin posts, try to talk to more people in the industry to see what works for marketing this kind of thing, etc. Even if the product is awesome, if I don’t have any warm audience it will all be for nothing (at least monetarily). The balance between development and business stuff is a challenge that I will happily take on.
