Back on the grind - New Years Resolution - Dev Log 35
Your typical software dev that fell in love with learning. Currently working on my New Years Resolution of earning enough income monthly from my own web applications to no longer be poor. A man can dream.
I am officially back on the coding grind and trying to get this metaphoric bread. I am super excited about the next web application I am currently starting on. I do not want to spoil it early on but it is in the education space.
Over the last few weeks I have thought up many good ideas to pursue, but I ended up going with another web application, it's my strong suit. I am allured to trying to create a mobile app or game using unity. That is only because the technologies are still foreign to me, which makes them more exciting. Unfortunately, I do not have time to learn a bunch of new skills and technologies. The clock is ticking and I believe that the smart play is to use the skills I have. Going off that thought, I am going to use the exact same stack as my previous project (the job board); except I might trade Redis for Mongo. Mongo and Redis are both great options for fully managed cloud databases, but while I loved using Redis, Mongo is a little more mature as a technology.
Today was the first day I was getting back into the grind of coding, which felt good. I was looking at the blank canvass and have made a terrible first draft UI for my homepage. I am hoping after refining it a few times that I will have one of those modern SASS homepage looks. The ones that have sections based on complimentary background colors, if ya know, ya know.
That is the update. I am back at the grind. I will spill the beans on the idea later once I get further into development. I am one of those people who romanticize my own ideas, so for now I think it's just about the best idea ever. Once I get to marketing and actually attempting to get users, my many failed attempts will deflate my ego real quick; but for now, this idea slaps.
