First deploy using "$ painless deploy production" and I have a static site up and running.
Woke up at 3am today to try and make some progress (finally). 5:20am and I have this working. And the entire thing is being developed on an iPad I setup away from my work work computer so that I can focus.

Make progress reading "Obviously Awesome" book.
setting up Hetzner account
Saved my notes about building mechanical keyboards. Will get to this someday. https://define.run/keyboards-notes

Tried watching Ahrefs videos and using the trial account to explore search volumes for content that I can write for
Gut feel is that "Engineering as Marketing" might work better for #PainlessDeploy. The search volumes are so low that it might not make an impact.
Wrote down a 1-month task list to focus on for
Decided on pricing and wrote it down on the landing page
Writing the landing page gave me clarity about
* What pricing levers to use.
* What my pitch should be
* Anything that's not supported is a feature.
Here's my why:
"I've been helping deploy apps for a few years now. I've noticed that there are folks who know to build, but deployment is left to the DevOps engineer. Painless is that missing engineer for indie hackers and small teams."
I had registered the domain "painless.tools" a month ago for the same project.

Styled the guide page ~! Now ready to begin writing the guides
Styling the page for a single guide
I'm only done with the styles for the sidebar. This is enough to get started IMHO. I can begin with writing the actual guides now.
Took a break today from actual work on the project. But in order to keep the progress going, I read one more chapter in the Traction book
I've been reading and summarizing chapters of the "Traction" book on this page https://define.run/traction-book. I maintain the notes for my future self.
Did some unnecessary cleanup for my TailwindCSS usage
I should have avoided this. But I had to learn how to use "apply". So I tried it by cleaning my some of my existing CSS.
Finalize on the home page design for
I think the design is good enough now
