GENERAL
A relatively quiet week, spent some time editing the IF website: changing some custom elements on the project detail page and doing some cleanup on a few projects’ profiles.
Oh, we now have a US number 1 (470) 460 6660!
Started delving into the resurrection prospects of “eCoconuts” and a rebranding “itch” surfaced. The previously designed brand elements appeared “flat” the more I looked at them, and were not providing the energy I needed to push forward on this project.
So I revisited the drawing board and came across an inspiring font that I felt “spoke” more to the essence of what the brand could be.
Delved into some Dev Discovery activity, exploring the development of a prototype using v0.dev and Lovable. Got further, faster with Lovable on this project, so paused v0(though it presented some UI elements I was fond of) and continued a bit on Lovable…will see where it goes.
Some near-finishing touches were put on the Sircl’s landing page, also integrated analytics, web security and foundation SEO for said page.
Began exploration of promo/explainer video as well as demo booking form/feature. Got some initial feedback from my family(the test market) on where the bugs were showing up on the prototype app.
Minor advancement on the website(as I’d changed directions on the web framework/platform being used for this), so there is a bit of a learning curve, and it’s still to be determined if this is the right platform for how I’d like the UX to flow.
Started prelim exploration of an In Real Life(IRL) game(code-named: Maggie). With the assistance of ChatGPT, I was able to brainstorm the basic elements and potential suppliers/sources. Further market research is required regarding what the market would be prepared to spend on this(on the top line) to justify the quality of production(design, assembly and material).
NEED MORE DETAILS ON ANYTHING? JUST CURIOUS?
