Week 1 - Uptime Tracker - Name TBC

I plan to build an uptime tracker. It’s something that’s been on my mind to do for a while now. From the research I’ve done it seems to be quite a saturated market, one filled with many services that outwardly seem quite mature already. That said, I believe that there’s potential there. I just need to figure out how to carve out my own niche.

I don’t have that answer yet. What I do know is that
I do need a minimal MVP so I can get started on that
If I don’t start on it I never will
And I don’t know all the answers but if I keep at it I’m sure I’ll get somewhere.
I really want to have fun doing this
