So project Pineapple has been making some progress, I’ve got what I think is an acceptable MVP, with the basic functionality working as expected. One thing I’ve found with doing this project is how much I hate doing frontend work, and how much it drains my excitement to develop my side projects. I had a plan in mind to combat this, one of which is obvious the other not so much....
So I’ve had a bit more time to myself recently, and have had a bit more drive to get stuff done, so I decided to try and progress project pineapple a bit more. I’ve actually made a load of progress on it to a point at which I think in the next week or so I’d be ready to launch an early version. I can very much be chaotic in my approach to things sometimes and I found (not so shockingly) that breaking the working into small actionable chunks makes it much easier to make progress 📈....
So Mexico happened… I was severley unprepared for what to expect in terms of the culture and how things work. TLDR: Double petrol(gas) charges, toll roads without card payments and lost luggage 🧳 Anyway I’m home and the house is a bit of a bombshell. I’ll be starting to work on project pineapple again this week, trying to get a very basic MVP in place. I’ve been reading “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries and he emphasises a lot that you should attempt lots of quick experiments to test your assumptions....
