✅Goals for the week

Jason Starkey said:

Hope everyone is making good progress, looking forward to hearing your updates!

I had another week of just trying to survive, I swear as soon as I complete 1 thing, then 2 more things pop up. Hoping this next week will be more productive for me, and that I can finish a couple small projects.

You're still pushing and climbing up that hill while most would give up, so you're accomplishing more than most. Give yourself some credit and set some realistic goals. See you on Monday!!

I'm just about to start on this once i get back from the shops. Largest amount of tests i ever had, so will take me a few days, then exciting stuff! I will be starting my first drawing, that will be eventually be animated (next few weeks)....
Looking forward to it, my wacom i bought 6 months ago has been dormant, in an effort to get this ready to draw with.

Given how hard it is these days to focus and truly feel that you’re doing exactly what you love, I hope that this week’s goal is to sharpen
your intuition and at least find some kind of direction..

2 min after posting this, got order for random WH website I popped up in 5 minutes over 6 months ago, no backlinks, nothing, just a single block of code. Apparently it is getting 150+ visits a month now and gaining, I really need to update/optimize a few things now haha...

IM is the craziest thing, anything works a little if you take action, somethings work a lot with more commitment!

Damn 7 days, and its taken me that long to cut my tests in half since the last update here?

I'm nearly there though. Can't wait to actually draw first with my app, as thats stage one to every good animation! a good set of drawings. Should be drawing by hopefully wed/thur at the latest next week! lol hope so, i'm getting a creative brain drain from just vibing and never drawing these days!

@Jason Starkey are you going to compress what you learned here into an semi automation lead machine?!

I think the plan is clear for me.

Make more YouTube shorts.

(Yes I am addicted.)

I want make orders and workout 5 days in this week

This week, I have completed 5 videos and have my site almost up. I am also letting go of some domains that have been sitting around and collecting dust. Just want to make this week productive, and I am proud of all of you who keep pushing through. Have a good week ahead!!!

I got on to drawing just at the end of last week, and havn't got past much except drawing a pair of wojak hands! lol

I needed for the next part, draw my lines with sharp corners instead of rounding, and its tuning into something much harder than i first thought. Must have done about 50 tests so far, (suppose not quite the nightmare 120+ record! lol) to try and diagnose.

I have curved working, and bevel edge (flat) but when you change to point (miter) its not quite there! Maybe a few more attempts with claude will nail it, lets see!



I was almost tempted to use inkscape, but its crap with a drawing screen. There is too much work to correct issues, and the lines make me look like i just spent the day downing whiskies! lol

So i just left as is, and went back to my own app. I was thinking, that i could be doing both, since i'm desperate to draw and get some merch up again, but maybe another month at most till i have things working i can draw 100% a complete design, without fixing in app errors. For sure I know the errors aren't with the drawing method and canvas inking in general now.

So basically i've got the same goal for today, tomorrow and this week, and this month! (try and draw something from start to export finish) lol

@Mrnewbie hope your videos are going well? When you think your site will be live with them on it??

I guess people's attention spans aren't long, so views aren't high, and that is fine. The shorts do well for some reason: it's because of attention spans and getting to the point. The website is still being tinkered with, as I want to make sure to produce the best product and not something I have seen before, so I have the bones in place but need to do some experimenting and see if it's worth it or not. Thanks for asking @Panther28

Defo try and get interactive features locked behind an email registration. I been using chevereto as an image gallery for my and others work, and it has the option to search, add to favs, and over 18's. People seem to be really receptive on entering their double opt-in emails for registration and usage of these features on my site.

None of this one way conversation cold sell, people want to do stuff on a website, not just read or watch, they want to interact, and feel like there is an experience they are buying into with their registration. Hopefully you can incorporate some cool interactive features, even if simple, and make sure it is sucesffull! Best of luck, give it all you can.

I'm at more than 1600 users in a year, and i plan to email them all once i get my drawing app ready and draw some new relevant tshirt merch on my accounts. (thats why my solid everyday goal is just to get my app able to draw with well.) Plus a little banner of my own, atm i just have a niche banner to help someone with their site, and because its a natural fit to my own.

I plan too in the coming weeks first (once again WHEN!!!! lol i can start drawing again! you can tell i'm getting hungrier to draw?!! lol) to swap the banner out and put in a tshirt merch banner. I think thats a staple of every niche, some tshirt merch. lol its evergreen! hahah

Going to work on a few websites that need tinkering, plus I want to create some plugins for them. Also, I will be doing a video this week and some shorts; I just have to switch up my strategy.

How is everyone, and how are you doing?

Still working on the site I created and the YT channel as well, plus some other projects. How is everyone else faring? Hope you all are doing well personally, too, and have a great Friday and weekend.

I been working still on my drawing app. I "think" i nailed the problem i was trying to get past, mitre/bevel/smooth corners simultaneously switching when you want.

I'm getting desperate to draw still, but hopefully only a few weeks to go and it will be worth it.

I done so much refactoring, its been hard to go back and forth updating the same tests with minor refactoring of core files. If all the corners are working like they seem to be now though, then hopefully no more 80+ file test refactors multiple times a week!

my next goal will be to spend a day drawing, and procrastinate on programming for a day at the same time! lol

Nice job everyone, keep up the good work, I really enjoy reading about your projects and efforts! Wishing you all success!

I have been getting deep into things again now, hope to have more that I can share soon.

Cool, glad to see your still knee deep?


Dedicated for you to start the week off in a funky mood.

I'm just running on fumes, i'ive been up all night and only withing the last hour cleared 13k tests to all pass, and visually have the corners in tests pass. So tommororow, after i get up late, i'll be looking forward to getting my wacom glove off, and do some drawing, probably that will last like 5 minutes, then i'll be bug hunting again! lol

Although 5 minutes would still be better than the 1 minute 2 months ago!

That means a lot coming from you, thanks for the motivation, I always enjoy hearing your wisdom! And I cant wait to hear about MrNewbies' adventure update soon either!

Oh I am knee deep right now, for an average joe like myself at least that basically learned everything here. Back to working overnights and making strides.

Put my soul into this project to help families with disabilities, and everything is amazing so far, hoping traffic comes for this one since everything is original and optimized.

Good luck this week everyone!

I decided to do something with the members and have something where we set a weekly or even a monthly goal to keep each other motivated. If you have a certain number you want to hit or some words of encouragement, this is the place to do it. Let's continue this every week, and wish you the best.

For myself, I am working on a project that I have put off for a few years, and I am doing the content for it, and I hope to get it done by Friday, as this is a short work week here in the US.

What is your goal?
