    I'm Back With my tail tucked between my legs, this is my announcement that I'm back to working on my plan and I'll be posting regularly to this thread again. A lot of "life" has happened since my last post and I have simply gotten sidetracked with my vision. I let myself down, but it's time to...

    Interesting. I've dabbled with Typescript while learning Angular. Do you have any good books/blogs/websites/courses that provide advice on how to avoid the poor design patterns you speak of? (I know I can Google it, and look myself, but wanted to see if you had specific suggestions). Learning...

    I just finished up going through a couple of my Udemy courses to brush up on React/Redux (a front-end framework for building web UIs). I've temporarily left "tutorial hell," but with web development feeling like whack-a-mole in terms of skill subsets required to know, I'm sure tutorial hell is a...

    The asynchronous stuff is tricky to get the hang of, but obviously, it's essential for the web. Webpack can be a pain in the a$$ as well. I agree about SVG, and everything moving toward vector graphics. Then fonts, icons, etc. I'm probably going to use Material-UI for this app I'm about to start...

    I hate frontend frameworks! That's all. Nothing more to add right now. Just feeling frustrated about frontend stuff. I don't want advice or motivation. I'm just in tutorial hell, and anxious to escape. Staying the course. Already have some app ideas in the hopper, but just trying to master...

    In these early days, I basically just wanted to launch something. Something tiny, so I could get in the groove of deploying, updating, and adding features. I want to get that workflow in my tool bag to give me the confidence that I can do it again on bigger projects. That is all I’m focusing on...

    I just deployed the first version of the small project I spoke about in the previous post. I don’t quite have all the functionality that I originally discussed, but I got something up, live, and deployed! That was my only goal for this little mini-project ... to boost confidence, learn some dev...

    Task for the upcoming week: Develop and deploy a dummy "todo" style app, using MERN stack. No authentication yet, just a simple app that persists data. There are plenty of tutorials on the web about how to do this. Will find one of them to follow. Purpose: Improve my knowledge of dev-ops. To...

    I share many of these thoughts. I won't rule out a content system, or perhaps a "data system" that provides industry insights...I've got some ideas, but nothing serious yet. Not deciding on B2C vs B2B at this stage. I appreciate the advice.

    Hey gang! I’m jumping in. Like many others have done, I'm starting my own progress thread for the purpose of keeping myself accountable, and to help others learn from my journey. Quite honestly, I’m starting this journey from sort of a down-and-out state of my life. I won’t go into details, but...

    If there's a need, but people don't know it, does it still count as demand?

    I'd say yes, of course, it still counts. Just this weekend I was watching an infomercial for the Generac AC generators. Throughout the segment, they emphasized the pain of going 2, 3, or more days without power so well, that my 7-year-old son chimed in and said "we need that!" Were we even...

    Thank you. Yes, I was able to learn a lot from the various ventures I took part in. I'll share the lessons I've learned in future posts, but the venture that I had the most success in was a niche website that ran Google Adsense and linked to affiliate products. The site flopped however, when...

    How Do I Determine If The Market/Need is Large Enough?

    I can certainly relate. I have those "odd" fears as well. The fear of success if a very real thing, and needs to be dealt with.

    How Do I Determine If The Market/Need is Large Enough?

    Thanks man. This is what I needed to hear. I was putting so much concern on being locked into a business that may prevent me from arriving at my destination, with no way out.

    How Do I Determine If The Market/Need is Large Enough?

    Hello! This is my first substantive post (question), aside from the introduction post I made earlier. It's great to be with you all. I realize I'm amongst some real movers and shakers in this forum, and for that, I'm thankful. Let me pick your brains for a bit if you don't mind, about "glass...

    Hello Fast-Laners! A little introduction for anyone interested... I'm 39, currently working in IT administration in the slow lane, and ready to join the fast lane.
