The part I liked most wasn't even the 365 day challenge. It was shipping a job board in 8 days instead of letting it become the giant hiring platform you had in your head.
I can imagine a designer asking ChatGPT where to find creative jobs that actually show salary and don't play games with applications. If Palet comes up there the first thing they'll quietly check is whether the listings already feel like the kind they'd want to send to a friend.
I'm curious if you've noticed anyone sharing a job they found on Palet before they've even talked about Palet itself.
I like that the challenge is forcing you to optimize for learning instead of perfection.
One thing I'd keep an eye on, though, is making sure the daily shipping habit doesn't become the goal itself. The real compounding comes from repeatedly learning about the same problem, not just repeatedly launching things.

Creative hiring is broken — recruiters gatekeep roles, unpaid "test projects" gate applications, salary stays hidden until the final round. Palet fixes that: direct apply only, no spec work, salary shown up front.
