I started building my own little saas project this morning. My aim is to build it a little each day and to see how far I can take it.

Stripe& #39;s docs are amazing, although they assume I have more experience than I do.

I understand the principles, I just need to keep watching @jeffrey_way to learn how to do it.

The last two weeks have been spent learning the fundamentals of Laravel so that my approach going forward is less, “copy, paste, and hope” and more thoughtful and intentional.

On Monday we start building for reals.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours revising the design language for the post editor. I had a wireframe to code from, and have basic HTML forms. But before jumping into Tailwind I wanted to have a clear solution for each of the elements.

Feels like I should have a finished product after 90 "days", but I have to remind myself that they& #39;re far from full days. Working on it again tonight.

Tonight, I& #39;m working on the dashboard designs.
