Reduced by 50%. It takes now ~1m to build on Netlify instead of 2m10s.

I would say it was well received. 🥳 I will be opening this status whenever I feel low on energy. :)

Not even two weeks since the very first monthly plan subscriber, we have now first annual plan subscriber! 🔥

And to test the waters before an official launch, I have posted Kairo to r/SideProject https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/ntjt52/i_made_a_time_habit_and_goal_tracker_web_app_that/

Solves my problem whilst working from home and not wanting to be disturbed. You can enable a status page and share a link with others in the household, telling them when your focus ends.

Cleaning up and polishing. 20 out of 42 tasks left. PurgeCSS reduced the size by ~600kB, Sentry added to catch errors, some fixes here and there, new Business plan with early access form, plus simple 404 page. #kairo

Added an option to change the background of the tracking board. Pick from eight pre-defined gradients or twenty two colours. #kairo

Fun to use my other company's product (Inline Manual) for my little side-project #kairo - and for free. :) - closer to official launch.

...so visitors can see the tracker in action without much clicking around.

And added T&C's, Policy Privacy and Acceptable Use Policy. One step closer to official launch.

Other than that, been just experimenting with bits and pieces.

At this point the MVP is complete, with more features than I initially planned (I have enjoyed the development too much). Time to focus on polishing and going officially live.

Hopefully the last 10% won't take 90% of the time. #kairo

I am really enjoying how flexible this concept is. No need to create any additional functionality for Pomodoro as I've planned. The concept of rows and cols being configurable, with the countdown and previous blocks, it all just clicked together.

Not that it is a critical feature, nor MVP worthy, but I have enjoyed working on this one. 😊

The deep work tracker mode is working. Next is to make the checklist editable and collect feedback after the session (for self-improvement).

Getting ready for the soft-launch.
Onto the legal pages now.

Being in the onboarding space for so long, I am making a very minimal interface for this tracker app, it'll point the end-users towards their first steps. As they proceed, they'll reveal features, triggering curiosity to learn more.

Twelve years ago, I spent weeks, if not months, implementing a payment gateway, obtaining a merchant account from the local bank, paying setup fees,... All to start selling a digital product. Today it took me 42 minutes to implement Stripe with full subscription management. #serverless ❤️
