Now that we've launched @pinetree, I want to start "building in public" more and sharing our experiences, both good and bad (don't worry, no walk and talks from this pseudoanon yet)

First off, it was really great launching at FarCon. Wanted to echo our earlier statements about how supportive this community has been, it's been a shot in the arm for us 💜

We had a hard deadline to ship the MVP by May 1, as a forcing function for us to move fast

The good news: we shipped and y'all liked the product!
The bad news: there were several issues with auth, mobile views, and other bugs across the app

As @deodad wisely reassured us, we picked the lesser evil by launching early and starting to onboard users. But I care about building a great product, and tbqh it was painful shipping something that felt incomplete in many ways (and had bugs)

Now, after getting back from FarCon (and taking a week to regrow our brain cells), @giu and I are focused on the following work, in order of priority:

🇧🇷🇺🇸 - Book: Making Things Think: https://holloway.com/mtt Investor in Wander, Carry, Footprint, Merkle Manufactory (Farcaster), Dynamic, Paragraph

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant
