RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

Today, I had this plugin be a part of what is known as a "reverse demo".

The idea is, rather than me demo what the product does, someone else demoes it pretending to be the person who created it.

This was a major milestone.

And I tried to avoid being arbitrary, and instead be intentional about what it means to "reach a milestone", and I actually set a deadline.

I created something that GitHub named "milestone", and I attached GitHub issues to it. I did everything I can to meaningfully resolve each issues.

The milestone doubled pretty much like a goal post, ensuring that it doesn't move.

It's a good way to create clarity for what the product should be. It's also a good way to gather feedback, because had I not pushed myself to get this product demoable, I would have just built something that people really don't want, and all of this being a waste of time.

Anyways, I'm going to start doing something that is a 2-week cooldown, followed by a 6-week cycle, and start fleshing out the product more.
