Hello World

The famous words getting started in a new programming language. But this time they indicate a major personal milestone transitioning from chat to my beloved robots and starting to talk more to you humans.

So, who are we?

We’re a small team of three. A developer, designer our life-saving business person. We’re all friends and have been working together for a while.

We’re all starting off with a day job at hand. This puts some constraints on the time we can allocate to the projects. So the number one goal now is to get it to be self sustainable as soon as possible.

Being rather realistic I’m not sure anyone is going to find our journey interesting. So please treat this blog as a place to dump our thoughts and progress. If you suddenly find it interesting, please use sharing tools below to let us know.

Why do we do this?

Mostly for fun, actually. Since I started developing software a decade ago it’s been a journey full of pet projects that never saw the light. Mainly because I was tackling them alone and only doing the tech bits I’m really interested in.

Having reconsidered that I’ve found friends who can bridge the gaps in my interests and get these projects to life.

The Plan

We’re full of ideas and looking to put them at a test. Here’s what we’re going to start with:

• Our starter app is a social platform for dog owners. It started from an idea to bring transparency into genetic chains of the dogs your pet could breed with and simplify the process of finding a partner for your pet. Along the way it expanded to something more. And currently we’re going through the final steps to publish it.
• We’re also thinking about a new way of managing your personal finances. I’m a big fan of treating it in terms of cashflows. Curious to find out what happens if there’s a tool to easily configure and route them.
• Also going through the reseach for this company I’ve got swamped with a lot of YouTube videos on so called Micro-SaaS. In particular titles like “Top 5 ideas to build over weekend”. The intention behind them is rather clear, but the suggested implementation approaches are questionable. So, we’re looking to put them to a test and be absolutely transparent about the process and the results.

What’s next?

Working in a world’s best private jet broker company I’ve learned a lot about transparency and how important it is. And now I’m looking to bring it to our projects as well. In the future posts I’ll be sharing our progress on them and even spin up a dedicated stream of work on the Micro-SaaS topic sharing everything down to the very finest details.
