- fix waitlist bug where after entering email user didn't get any feedback that they are on the list.
- Created and configured new instance in Vultr for deployment, installed Dokku on it.

- Fixed issues with manifest & service worker generation now they are dynamic, each app gets their own customizable ones
- Started working on deploying to Dokku.
- First-ever app install!!!🚀🚀🚀 (see img)
The icon in the system tray comes from Appbasics, the window color is also custom.

You can start the app without running chrome on the desktop. Tomorrow I'll be able to install it on phones once the appbasics code is deployed with HTTPS.

- Reworking apps creation flow

Prev: Account -> User(s) -> Apps -> OAuth -> Pages
New: Account -> User(s) -> OAuth -> List Pages -> Create App for a page as root page.

I failed to launch in 21 days while building in public. Not feeling so cool writing this update. But what I learned is I can keep going and build a product brick by brick or bit by bit coz its you know computers. I'm going to keep doing this everyday until its ready. I think in a few weeks I'll have something worth sharing.

- I spent some time working with Notion OAuth again.
- Added tests for OAuth scenarios and did them manually using Ngork.

- Finished work on generating manifest.json files for each app that gets created.
- Added connector model to store OAuth information.

Decided to do nothing and take a break, I've been building this for 18 days non-stop now and I feel like there is no point pushing myself without having enough energy and a clear mind.

NO CODE for my NO-CODE platform :-p

- Adding forms in UI with styling, so far all entities were created from rails console, time to write more HTML forms 😅
- Decided to skip custom domain support for now.
- Dashboard coming along nicely.

- Finished adding support for page links.
- More work on dashboard related to navigation links. (might try hotwire later)
- Research Cloudflare custom domains vs other solutions.

- Made integration on notion public. Spent sometime figuring out how to add oauth Authorization with notion.
- more work on dashboard.
- adding linking between pages, updated data model to support this.

- Wrote a super basic homepage to start collecting leads check it out at appbasics.com

- Started work on a dashboard.
- Fixed issues with routing logged in users to dashboard.appbasics.com instead of their own subdomain.
- Got a new domain for all subdomain sites. Everyone signing up will get a .install.so domain ;-)

- Added support for quotes and images. I think these are the last blocks I'll add support for.
- Added subdomain support for each App, via a new Domains model.

Sad 😢 that NotionAPI doesn't send width/height of img in response.

- Mostly worked on updating pages when content changes in Notion.
- Need to rework some of the data model, to store blocks or not to store blocks?

- Spent the whole day working on `column_list` and `column` block types.
- Each column will support child blocks that are already implemented!
- Sad that I cannot get spacing info from
@NotionAPI
between two columns but for now, each column takes equal space as default.

- Notion gave me some trouble today by not returning list items as a group, or even mentioning which two items are part of the same list.
- I spent the whole day trying a workaround where I added `group_id` to each `list_item` in my recursive fetch method
- Then during rendering If a block is of list type, I'd lookup its siblings with the same group_id and render them as a combined ul or ol depending on list type
- Holy shit did it work!!! Check out my Twitter for more real-time reactions :-p

- Here is how pages look now in #appbasics that are written in notion.

- Add support for list blocks
- Add support for column list, and column blocks

- Finished working on the render tree code
- Added support for h1,h2,h3 block types.
- WIP with list block types, ul/ol
- read up on columns, a bit of a bummer that @NotionAPI won't return spacing information between two columns 😢

- Add support for h1, h2, h3 block types.
- Start work on render tree algorithm.

- Going to work on converting JSON blocks into HTML via Rails rendering system.
