Why?

That extra nudge of accountability to achieve even a small step on your IH journey each day.

To join in:

01 COMMENT on AT LEAST ONE fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in. Let's get in there with the encouragement/feedback! (Changing the order, because I know we can do better!)

02 Share your epic (a big chunk of work with a meaty objective) you'd like to complete by the end of August.

03 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

04 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

Optional:

05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.

Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!

    Week 1: Tools week - I've got several additional tools in mind, I'm going to try to get at least two of them completed by the 8th. I'm also going to be fixing a couple of issues I've noticed with the current tools. I'll also add client side input validation, I'm only doing server side validation right now.

    Week 2: Writing Week: Troubleshooting flow-chart and/or checklist, a couple of articles for the notes section

    Week 3: Do some basic SEO, keywords, sitemaps, etc. More tools work or writing as time allows.

    Week 4: Finalize the look and feel of the website, any design changes should be minor at this point. Explore some of the paid ideas I've been kicking around.

    @Harlem for holding it down on Saturday with me!

    Side Note
    Felt good to give back yesterday. At the same time the process of doing the speaking gig helped me work out some stuff. If you ever want to know if you know something try teaching someone. Advising is a double edge sword and it will cut you to the core to sharpen you up!

      What was the speaking gig? Did I miss something?

      And yeah. It's been a second since I've had a full weekend of hustling. Feels pretty damn good to knock ish down!
