startup

i got an itch to do a rewrite of DASH-E and avoid some of my mistakes with the launch & first version of it. i’ve initiated work on it yesterday, didn’t make as much progress as i would’ve liked to but i’m hoping to get into madman shipping mode & get it launched on twitter ASAP.

here’s what v1 looked like - DASH-E v1

instead of getting straight to writing the code and iterating on the ui via code, this time around i’m experimenting with some “brainstorming” on figma and looking at some of the interfaces from apps i like to take inspiration on doing certain things right.

VoiceoverGPT crossed 100 users this week which is a tiny win but honestly really not enough & this is an issue i need to be clever with to solve, distribution. i really need to talk about it more and keep users in the loop about new feature updates, etc… which I did an okay job at best.

VoiceoverGPT User Milestone

i think the rewrite + launch of DASH-E is gonna help me try and do a lot better this time.
