Great progress man but I would work on styling the UI a bit more before giving it to users.

So cool following along with journey, I also quit my job a less than a month ago and that's around the time I came across your videos it's been a source of inspiration for me and it's even cooler seeing that you're in buildspace s5 as well cause I recently got in and looking forward to building for the next 6 weeks

Keep up the vlogs, enjoy watching the process!

Congrats man! I'm loving following your journey. One suggestion: buy yourself a keyboard and a mouse... I can't stop thinking that stretching your arms like that to type will hurt you in the long run.

Yow, super cool. I’m part of s5 as well.

You should build a tinder feature - people put there line of work, company, skills and specific interests. So that people can match with other professionals for networking
e.g Imagine you you’re swiping and you see another beginner asian building a startup in the area
you two will probably want to match, exchange ideas and meet up
Loneliness is the biggest thing for young entrepreneurs

But ridiculous people will come
