Day 1 Overview

  • Before writing any production code, I wanted clarity.
  • Day 1 was spent on three things:
    1. Sharing the build‑in‑public intro
    2. Solving one LeetCode problem to stay consistent with DSA
    3. Creating a detailed project brief

Project Brief

The project brief helps avoid missing important features, reduces the risk of rewrites, and keeps scope creep under control. By the end of the day, I had a complete plan covering build, launch, and marketing.

I am sharing the project brief template for other developers:

There is a quote I strongly believe in:
