Post by @steveharvey, not on Bluesky, on the UK Biobank latest release of 500k whole genomes:
A mind-blowing paper from the UK Biobank last week: whole genome sequencing of 490,640 participants.

just submitted mymaster's thesis for initial review

never thought I'd get here

Thank you!!

This isn't really my target audience, but if you're Canadian and want to track your assets (stock portfolio, high-interest cash, etc...)

OR you just want to see my progress

follow and check out the site in my bio

- I've thought of so many other things I want to integrate into the functionality, but I'm not sure at what point I need to stop adding features and just roll it out

- why are there so many aws services

- I was able to checkoff so many things on my todo list, it was amazing to have 24 hours of non-distracted productivity (minus sleep of course)

#24saaschallenge DONE

This was an amazing experience, was able to knock so many things off my list.

Here are my key takeaways:

- A bit disappointed I don't have a fully working MVP, but all that is technically left is deploying my postgres, I just don't want to risk running up costs

Deployed the frontend on Vercel!

Looming to get the backend up and running on AWS soon enough - wish me luck.

Also, went for a walk to work out of a cafe for a bit

Only 5 hours left for my #24hsaaschallenge

5 hours down, 19 left

got this first draft landing page, thoughts?

definitely going to improve the copy-writing and logo/aesthetics

also cleaned up a lot of code, added working external links

going to get some rest and keep working early tomorrow morning!

#buildinpublic

Only 20 hours left

Implement a lot of new features and adjustements.

Starting the styling and aesthetic, including landing page, and I'm TERRIBLE at design.

Wish me luck 🫡

First hour is just me fighting with vercel and typescript... classic😜

23 hours to build!!

Locked. In.

CORRECTION : Wednesday @ 8pm EST - Thursday 8pm.

Only 24 hours left until I start my #24hsaaschallenge

My goals:
- Implement a clean landing page with waitlist
- Connect database to cloud
- Finalize MVP functionality (Vue.js / Python)
- Figure out name & branding / register domain?

I can't wait to share my experience!

Inspired by other indie hackers #buildinginpublic, this Thursday, 8 p.m. EST, I will do my own #24hsaaschallenge!

Now that I have some free time, I’m going to fully dedicate myself to enhancing my app. I will post updates every hour, except during sleep.

Follow to see my progress!

People have BEEN saying sillybandz are back 👀

How do you know when to stop working on your MVP?

Any Canadian founders starter packs? 😆

Might have to make my own

It’s WAY harder to connect and meet people after college.

Because YOU have to take the initiative to meet ppl in an environment that doesn’t have as many social opportunities in a concentrated location with ppl who may not be looking for friends.

But so far, here’s what has helped me: 👇

Love this!! Really appreciate you taking time to write this out, Bryan 🤩

I'm curious, how do you go about connecting with like-minded people, especially out of school?

I'm 23 finishing my master's but want to keep meeting people in the tech/start-up space 😊

Nice conversation with friends is the best. It's hard to come by friendships where you can talk about everything and anything.

Goodluck on leg day! 😆

Currently writing the absolutely most niche article on Python that's ever existed.
