      <title>Website Finished #47</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/website-finished-47-25ib</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome back to &lt;strong&gt;Day 47&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I officially &lt;strong&gt;finished the website&lt;/strong&gt;! 🚀  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎉 Website Complete
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The core is done, and it feels amazing to see everything come together.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Now the project has a proper home online.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📱 What’s Left
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last steps on my list are:  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mobile optimization&lt;/strong&gt; for a smooth experience on all devices
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;SEO improvements&lt;/strong&gt; to make sure people can actually find the site
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Getting closer to the finish line — but also to a new beginning. 🌟  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;strong&gt;Day 46&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I continued working on the &lt;strong&gt;website&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🌐 Website Progress
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most of my time went into polishing and improving the site.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s coming together step by step, and I’m excited to see it take shape.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🖥 Server Trouble
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right now, there’s still &lt;strong&gt;something off with my server&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Nothing dramatic — I just need to dig a bit deeper and fix the issue.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I’ll get it sorted soon. 🔧  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fighting with Styling #45</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2025 21:43:54 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/fighting-with-styling-45-28mm</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/fighting-with-styling-45-28mm</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;strong&gt;Day 45&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today was all about a &lt;strong&gt;styling problem&lt;/strong&gt; I’m trying to solve.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎨 Styling Issues
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I spent the day debugging and experimenting with different approaches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s one of those challenges that looks small at first but eats up way more time than expected. 😅  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔜 Next Steps
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once this is fixed, I can move on to polishing the UI and pushing further with the platform.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;em&gt;Day 44&lt;/em&gt;* of my journey — today I didn’t manage to get any work done.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎂 Family Time
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A family member had a &lt;strong&gt;birthday&lt;/strong&gt;, so the whole day was dedicated to celebrating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Sometimes you just have to hit pause and enjoy time with loved ones. ❤️  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔜 Back Tomorrow
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow I’ll be back at it, continuing where I left off.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you then,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Learning Platform &amp; Extra Tasks #43</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 18 Aug 2025 17:37:26 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/learning-platform-extra-tasks-43-2a8l</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/learning-platform-extra-tasks-43-2a8l</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome back to &lt;strong&gt;Day 43&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today was a mixed day of &lt;strong&gt;building, organizing, and studying&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🎓 Learning Platform
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m working on getting the &lt;strong&gt;learning platform&lt;/strong&gt; up and running.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
That’s my main focus right now, and it’s slowly starting to take shape.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📬 Extra Tasks
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Besides that, I also tackled a few smaller tasks like &lt;strong&gt;mail setup&lt;/strong&gt; and other little to-dos that needed attention.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📖 Back to Studying
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On top of everything, I also spent time &lt;strong&gt;studying for university&lt;/strong&gt; today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Balancing startup work and uni can be tough, but progress on both fronts feels rewarding.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Moving to NVMe #42</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sun, 17 Aug 2025 21:22:38 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/moving-to-nvme-42-3h0a</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;strong&gt;Day 42&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I continued working on the &lt;strong&gt;infrastructure&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  💾 Migration in Progress
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right now, I’m &lt;strong&gt;moving everything over to a new NVMe server&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This should give me much faster performance and a solid foundation for scaling in the future.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛠 What’s Next
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the migration is complete, I’ll focus on:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Optimizing configurations
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ensuring stability
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Setting up proper monitoring
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Step by step, the infrastructure is getting stronger. 💪  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Email Automation &amp; Long Days #41</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 16 Aug 2025 20:46:51 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/email-automation-long-days-41-3n6d</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/email-automation-long-days-41-3n6d</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;strong&gt;Day 40&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I managed to build the first &lt;strong&gt;email automation&lt;/strong&gt; for the project.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📧 Email Automation Done
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The automation is up and running!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It feels good to see the system slowly coming together piece by piece.  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  😮‍💨 The Grind Is Real
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s all I could finish today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I’ve been working &lt;strong&gt;11 hours straight for the third day in a row&lt;/strong&gt;, and on top of that, the &lt;strong&gt;heat&lt;/strong&gt; makes it even tougher to stay fully focused.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still, every bit of progress counts. 🚀  &lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔜 What’s Next
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow I’ll continue improving the automations and hopefully wrap up this part of the setup.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Diving Deeper into Automations #40</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2025 21:17:57 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/diving-deeper-into-automations-40-3574</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/diving-deeper-into-automations-40-3574</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome back to &lt;strong&gt;Day 40&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I continued &lt;strong&gt;working on the automations&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🤖 Progress on Automations
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I spent most of the day fine-tuning the workflows and testing edge cases.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It’s going well, but I &lt;strong&gt;expect to need one more full day&lt;/strong&gt; to get everything running smoothly.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛠 Long Day, Big Focus
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today was another &lt;strong&gt;long workday&lt;/strong&gt;, but it felt productive. The more I tweak the automations, the closer I get to a fully functional system.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🔜 Next Steps
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow, I’ll continue:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finalizing the workflow logic
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Testing the triggers and actions
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preparing for deployment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to crossing the finish line on this part of the project!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Setting Up the Infrastructure #39</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2025 19:10:21 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/setting-up-the-infrastructure-39-1ppl</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/setting-up-the-infrastructure-39-1ppl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome to &lt;strong&gt;Day 39&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today was all about &lt;strong&gt;laying the technical groundwork&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🖥 Waiting for the vServer
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’ve been working on the &lt;strong&gt;installation of the infrastructure&lt;/strong&gt; for the new project.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Right now, I’m waiting for my hosting provider to provision the &lt;strong&gt;vServer&lt;/strong&gt; so I can start setting everything up.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🛠 What’s Next
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once the server is ready, I’ll jump into:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Configuring the environment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deploying the core services&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Setting up monitoring and backups&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;It’s a bit of a waiting game today, but once the vServer is live, things will speed up quickly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See you tomorrow,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Finalizing Domain &amp; Moving on to Logo #38</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2025 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/finalizing-domain-moving-on-to-logo-38-52j9</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/finalizing-domain-moving-on-to-logo-38-52j9</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and welcome back to &lt;strong&gt;Day 38&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today was a milestone: &lt;strong&gt;final domain locked in&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  ✅ Decision Made
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After weighing my top picks, I finally decided on a domain that feels right for the brand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
With that sorted, I moved on to the next branding step — planning the logo revision. The goal: simple, memorable, and scalable across all formats.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Takeaways
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A clear decision clears mental space for the next steps
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Logo design is more than just “something pretty” — it’s your visual identity
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Every brand element should work together like pieces of a puzzle&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Next, I’ll work with my designer to bring the new logo vision to life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for following along,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Domain Shortlist &amp; Availability Check #37</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2025 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/domain-shortlist-availability-check-37-1pfb</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/domain-shortlist-availability-check-37-1pfb</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Servus and hello to &lt;strong&gt;Day 37&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today I narrowed down the &lt;strong&gt;domain name choices&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  📌 From Many to Few
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I took the brainstormed list from yesterday and filtered it down to my top 5 picks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Then I checked domain availability and even looked at social media handle availability — consistency is key for branding.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Takeaways
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Domain checks save you from heartbreak later
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Matching social handles make your brand easier to find
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shortlists help you focus on what matters most&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow, it’s time to make the final call and move forward with the logo design.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for following along,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Planning Domain Name &amp; Branding Strategy #36</title>
      <dc:creator>0xj0n1</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/planning-domain-name-branding-strategy-36-3ab2</link>
      <guid>https://forem.com/0xj0n1/planning-domain-name-branding-strategy-36-3ab2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Servus and hi to &lt;strong&gt;Day 36&lt;/strong&gt; of my journey — today was about &lt;strong&gt;laying the foundation for the brand&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🏷 Choosing the Right Identity
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I started researching potential domain names and thinking about how the brand identity should feel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Short, memorable, and easy-to-spell domains are ideal — but it’s also about finding something that &lt;em&gt;feels right&lt;/em&gt; for the product.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  🚀 Takeaways
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your domain is the digital front door — it needs to be clear and inviting
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Good branding starts with a clear vision, not just a logo
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sometimes the perfect name takes days (or weeks) to find&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow, I’ll shortlist domain options and check availability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for following along,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Jonathan (0xj0n1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
