Then those emails are actually going to be dynamic in content, based on what actions you've done / not done.
I came up with a list of combinations / options and then grouped them and settled on 3 emails over the course of the week.
See the screenshot for my notes which may explain better.

The simple config used to generate the onboarding email schedule for hosted.md.
Would probably add a few more options in the config if it was turned into a package but would something like this be useful to anyone else? #laravel

@rickmills.uk has already managed to find a few issues for me to fix ahead of getting the beta users onboard!
Get tunnel visioned on your own project sometimes it's easy to miss obvious things! 🤦♂️

Beta launch will be Wednesday 6th August! #buildinpublic #staticsites

Did a little planning last night...
Got my final list that I need to complete, or partially complete for some of them as i've limited the scope of some of them.
Now's the time to get on the wait list if you want beta access + exclusive discount code 😎

After using filament for so long, it took a while to get used to the Livewire components from FluxUI but really dig some of the stuff you can do with them.
Enjoyed putting this little button together that lets you switch theme but also optionally rebuild your static site after switching! #laravel

Sneak peak of part of the Themes management pages. 👀
Little popover sidebar that will show the description of the theme, along with the templates that are included and can be customised.
Probably more UI / UX work to do to make it perfect but it'll do for now to get it out there and in your hands

Everything's coming together with the site updates for hosted md. New header is ready and all the pages mapped out in the nav and one page done which can serve as a basis for the rest of them!
Time to write more content.

Had another day off posting yesterday aside from some auto reposts i have setup.
It's nice to occasionally not have to worry about scheduling or making those posts!
Cracking on though tonight with stuff, getting new site provisioning all working! Close to a working app!

Given you could be loading pages from a Github repo, I've taken some inspiration from it so it will hopefully feel familiar to a user.

Here's a screenshot from Fathom, numbers are low 📉
But again, I've actually not promoted it anywhere yet other than here on BSky!
The site is still new, SEO never works overnight so the posts and things will take time to gain any traction.

Working on what I hope will be a handing little page for some people!
A markdown cheatsheet will be available soon on https://hosted.md 👌
Just finalised the layout and structure of the page. Will be populating the content over the next few days. Stay tuned 👀

One mistake I made with BlueWing was not getting a blog up on the site from launch of the waitlist holding page. Missed out on some golden time to get ahead with SEO.
Not making that mistake again, working on getting a simple blog template added to https://hosted.md #buildinpublic

Another new feature for https://bluew.ing that I quietly pushed out in between real life stuff, is the ability to create drafts!
Drafts can be distinguished on the calendar by the coloured dot whereas fully scheduled posts are highlighted in full!
