This week I didn’t have much time to work on the project, but I did manage to push it a bit. From this week on, I plan to monitor the time spent on the project ⏱️. I don’t know if I will be able to post on the progress every week, but let’s try and see how it goes.
what did I do last week?
I started with buying a domain and found out that the domain with the name I chose for the project (sharpsy) is already taken… So I changed the project name to codingella and bought the codingella.com domain 📃
I also created a github repository and made the first commit. For now, I will keep it private, but maybe it will become open-source in the future 🚀
what was the biggest impediment?
Finding a different name for my app. Fortunately, there are sites like businessnamegenerator.com.
It helped me a lot with finding the project name that is available as a domain.
what is the plan for next week?
- First, I want to make a simple sketch of the page with questions (view after logging in) and start to implement it. I’m not starting with the login feature to stay motivated. When I develop some other features first, maybe I will look for some existing third-party libraries for that.
- I have to choose IDE. I use Rider at work but for my side project I need to choose between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. I really like Rider but for now I don’t want to spend money
on it 💸
- I need to dust off mu Angular knowledge (I haven’t used it in 2 years)
costs
- from last week
23.78 $ – registering domains (.com, .net, .pl) - overall
23.78 $
summary
Like I said at the beginning, this week was pretty crazy (I had to do a lot of non-work related stuff) but I’m still glad I found some time to push the project and write a blog post about it.
