I had a designer friend look at my app and do a first round of suggestions. After implementing most of them Therefore is starting to look like a high class product!

Top tip best design outcomes keep the conversation to the core usage patterns and let the design come from that.

Big news! A couple of days ago I published my app and sent it out to the first group of testers!

It's ugly and probably broken but it's out there, now I have the hard part left!!!

Project update. I have built out my test environment. I can see the app and website on the Internet!

Oh the stack!
Main app is simple React + Vite

For the website and blog it's a NextJs site that generates pages from markdown.

Firebase hosted, except for auth swapping to Clerk. #buildinpublic

Shout out to tailwind. I had a build bug in my NextJs website and 6 hours later they released a patch.

Well I've been busy.

I was using NX as my monorepo and it was time to update my dependencies.
Complete nightmare culminating in my project being completely broken. No errors just nothing.

The fix, a full migration to toturborepo updating works.

+ A family full of flu, fun.

Don't you love random production bugs. I have a fun one at the moment. Authentication works in the local environment but as soon as I push it to prod completely broken.

Another day another bug :P
