Woke up to an email from a user this morning that they couldn't download Brisqi. 😨
Found out the website update hadn't been deployed correctly due to a permissions issue. 😱
It's fixed now!
Lesson learned: never forget to verify your deployments.

Found out someone uses Brisqi to plan their #DnD sessions, how awesome is that! It’s always amazing to see how people make the app their own. I never even thought of that use case, but it’s such a creative way to stay organized!

I’ve started working in 90 minute sessions to stay focused and avoid busy work. After each session, I reflect: what did I accomplish? If there’s progress, it’s a win. If not, I make sure the next session is productive. It's been keeping me on track so far.

I had to remove a new feature I worked on from the main branch, as it was proving more complex to maintain than anticipated and causing some unexpected issues. While it wasn't an easy choice, it's important for the long-term quality of the software, and sometimes that means making tough calls.

That one feature you think will be quick to implement turns out to be much more involved once you start diving into the details.
