Build in Public – October Report

[kalubuikem]

October has been a long but productive month, filled with both challenges and new beginnings. I kicked off a new side project aimed at creating a tool to collate all support sources for users.

Highlights of the Month

Exploring Custom Email Support: I started the month with the goal of building custom email support through domain integrations. After a lot of trial and error, I ended up going back to the basics and rebuilding the tool from scratch. I decided to start with the simplest form of support source—widgets—and built from there. Tech Stack I’m Loving: This month, I’ve come to appreciate my current stack even more. Working with Svelte on the frontend and NestJS on the backend has been a rewarding experience. Personal Development

I revisited two books, Show Your Work and Deep Work, and have been actively applying the principles I learned. These have been invaluable for keeping focus and sharing my building journey more openly. Goals for Next Month

Deploy the Project for Feedback: I plan to launch an early version of the tool and gather user feedback. Continue Sharing the Journey: Building in public has been incredibly motivating, and I want to keep this momentum going. Weekly Demos on Hacker News: I aim to post weekly demos on Hacker News to engage the community and gather feedback. Thank you for reading! I’ll be hanging out in the comments for any questions or feedback—looking forward to chatting with you al
