Turn the idea into
a working thing.
This is heads-down make time. You already know what you want — a site for your business, an app for your team, a tool that saves you an hour a week. Now you ship it, with feedback rounds that keep it honest.
What you get good at.
Scoping
Decide what version one is, and what it isn't. Example: three screens now, accounts later.
AI-assisted development
Plan first, then prompt. Example: write the screen list before asking for a single line of code.
Iteration
Read feedback, pick the changes that matter, ship again. Example: two fixes from five testers, done by Friday.
Shipping
Publish something at a real URL that stays up and works on a phone.
What you ship.
You leave with a live build and a clear record of how it got better.
- A live site, app, or tool anyone can open on their phone
- A build log showing each version and why it changed
- A feedback round with real users baked into the final version
- Empathize
Confirm who this is for before you write a line. Ask three of them what they'd use it for.
- Define
Lock the one job your build has to do well, and write it down.
- Ideate
Map the screens and the path through them before you build any of it.
- Prototype
Plan the build, write the prompt, and ship version one.
- Test
Run a feedback round and turn the notes into version two.
Put it on the record.
Your build becomes a public piece of work with proof attached — not a claim on a resume.
