    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    Today was another big step forward for this project. We met with a major player in the industry I am trying to provide this application for. She is the VP of operations for 11 of the gyms that facilitate this sport. I did my best to sell her on the idea and learn what I could from her. It turns...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    We are going to write up some surveys to pass out at those gyms. This can give us some details about what specific features people are most interested in when it comes to the app we are making. User acquisition and customer satisfaction are going to become my main goals as soon as the app is...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I had kind of a crazy day today. My friend put me in contact with a VC who works at Google that is involved in the sport that I am trying to solve a problem for with my app. We had a 45 minute long Google hangouts video conversation. I spoke about the progress we have made so far, pitched my...

    Progress Update

    EXECUTION 
    I think redux makes things way easier overall since you don't have to pass state around between components and it's in a central location. It's a tough learning curve but after you get it it really speeds things up.

    Progress Update

    EXECUTION 
    The dart packages for google and facebook login that we use simply accept a token as an input and that allows the auth stream to be validated, rendering the user and pulling their information from the database. If you could link things to google or facebook with a js package then you wouldn't...

    Progress Update

    EXECUTION 
    Sounds brutal. My app is using redux to keep track of a login and logout choice. This allows for conditional screen rendering as well since the frontend constantly re-evaluates redux state. Do you have a centralized frontend state manager? It makes life way easier in terms of full stack auth. We...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I really like it so far, it's very fun to code in. It also compiles to iOS and Android pretty darn well given that all my development has been for Android so far. The speed of development is super fast with the extensive widget catalog. Learning it was really simple as well, I mostly just...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    Quick update: I have been making a ton of progress on the mobile app I am building. I come home every day and boot up the codebase. I have successfully taught myself dart (the language flutter is coded in) and now I make progress basically every time I start working on it. We have expanded our...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I think if that happens then at least I will have learned how to make a flutter app to some extent, and then I can use that on the next app attempt. What happened to you though? Did you get no user downloads in the app store / google play? Did you have a business strategy that didn't work out or...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I have put that on the back burner at the moment. I actually did get to the point where I made two prototypes out of MDF with a CNC machine. I am still excited about that idea but I just don't think it is as scalable at the moment. Software is immensely scalable and free of requiring storage...

    The paper will be out shortly and I can send over the pdf or post a link.

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    It has been a crazy year for me but I have kept this book and the teachings from it in the back of my mind. I believe that I am finally in a position where I can make something happen for myself. I went through a year of mental work and learning how to code in Ruby and Javascript. I was...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I pretty much completed the main part of my device out of CNC milling a couple of pieces of MDF. Now I am trying to find out how to connect another part that is the other important feature of my idea, which would make it easier to set up and more portable than my competition. It is an...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I have been busy working and thinking on a path out of the financial instability that people normally endure graciously. I have made a good deal of progress creating a prototype of my idea that I discussed before, and I am gaining mastery of 3D modeling and working with CNC machines. I...

    First attempts at clawing my way out of the slow lane

    EXECUTION 
    I decided to start my own execution thread. I have been working on making a new product to assist with accessibility to training in a sport that I am heavily involved with (I have been consistently doing this sport for 12 years). I don’t think that this product would violate the “don’t do what...

    Who am I?

    INTRO 
    It does have the potential to be a powerful tool to change human motivation in the future. There is still so little that humanity understands about motivational drive in people. We can't target an exact brain region and show if that region is the place where motivation is altered, like we can in...

    I can share more. Basically, we identified CaMKII (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II - Wikipedia) to have a driving role drosophila melanogaster mating motivation. Drosophila are an extremely powerful animal model for geneticists. For example, the way that DNA is arrayed on chromosomes...
