Nice! I've been involved with marketing too for the past decade. Decided to take a plunge into coding this year. Keep posting about what you learn :)

Looks cool! How many hours are to spending coding each day?

Let us know how it goes :)

Hi Nina, what's inspired you to learn coding?

Day 3 of #100DaysofCode & #DevMateDiaries

Added colors, an input field, a button, fixed container size, line heights, font families & other visual aspects.

I've realized I like working on the frontend because of immediate output & making things visually appealing is satisfying.

Make some progress ...

I wish I had something to show, but dedicating time to the project has been challenging, and progress has been slow. (2/2)

Day 1 & 2 of #100DaysofCode
Day 1 & 2 of #DevMateDiaries

Since I publicly committed to the challenge, I've coded for 2 days. I'm trying to create an MVP waiting list form and a landing page. (1/2)

My tool is not exactly a social tool like your HypeDesk which I signed up for yesterday and used a bit...it has potential. Frankly I'm still figuring out what exactly I want to build and how to use my existing marketing skills to build a useful product.

What inspired you to build HypeDesk?

Thanks, Alex 🙏

Yes, there is a real need for proper marketing guidance for developers who can't afford to hire or build a marketing team. I'm hoping to make a difference with my tool.

Thanks Alex 🙏

I see on your profile that you are taking on the 100-day coding challenge like me. Are you starting from scratch or just upgrading your skills?

I'm considering using the name DevMate, and I'll use the tag #DevMateDiaries to share my progress and learnings.

Wish me luck! Here I go....

I'm taking a few JavaScript and React courses at Codecademy.

I have a background in marketing, so alongside learning at Codecademy, I'm going to build a marketing tool that will help solo developers find real users and convert their side projects into thriving businesses.

Ok, so I'm publicly committing to learning to code.

It's the middle of the year, with approximately 160 days left. I'm committing to #100DaysOfCode, which I aim to complete in the final six months of this year.

Congrats 🎉 That's a huge number!

Cool, good to hear! Hope things improve.

You mean the hero section of HypeDesk's homepage, right?

Oh, so using your own tool to market it. That's a great idea. Very interested to see how it goes. Keep posting and good luck!

What's the plan?

Yea, it's hard. Making a point of posting something every week, even if it feels stupid and doesn't get reply or likes, is important. I've been trying to engage with folks on x dot com for the past 6 months. It's been mostly crickets but things are picking up. Last post recieved 10+ replies.

Yes, lol

As a builder/developer, what drains you most?

– Debugging
– Marketing
– Design

I don't have much on my repo cause I've just started learning to code. I don't have the skills to review anyone's code rn. When I have something to share, I'll post it here :)

You are right about routines! I managed to find a perfect one this year, but was thrown off track a few weeks back.

I'm back to routine this week.

3 hours/night is good progress! I can barely squeeze in an hour every day. I probably need to automate a few things in my life and make more time.

You are waaay ahead! I've just started building a marketing tool for developers. Learning as I go. I'm finding it hard to make time. How do you manage?

Are you taking a course? Or learning via building something?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what would make a marketing tool for devs actually useful.

Lots of developers hate marketing their products!

Some just don't know how to.

Some are impatient because marketing takes time.

I've been involved with content marketing for nearly a decade, and I'm thinking of building a tool that'll help devs market their new products.

productivity & health tracker for freelance businesses

UDPATE: The sheet has now evolved into a productivity and health tracker.

It can still be used for accountability and feast-famine cycle tracking.

freelance feast famine tracker

I think it will help me beat the freelancing feast-famine cycle in the long run.

I'm reworking on the Google Sheet tracker right now.

Here's a sneak peak ⬇️
