Build small, use it daily, then fix it

Start by solving one annoyance, not by lining up every feature. Use it, and what you actually need shows up.

Make the first step small#

Before building every idea, pick the moment that gets in the way most often. Even a tool that only keeps a note has a job, if you can use it every day.

The first shape should make the use obvious, and should handle what you typed without dropping it.

The reason for a decision is part of the work#

A finished screen hides the hesitation. What you postponed, why you removed a step, what failed. A short build log carries the background of the work.

This site will keep finished pieces and the record of the middle together.

Pick a shape you can continue#

Don't make one update too large. Write only what changed. Then building and recording can both continue.

This article is a sample of how a build log sits on the site.
