@dcoates I really like the email-based approach (but maybe I'm biased 😉).
The challenge with these is getting people to actually follow through. I've met a lot of talented, creative designers and developers that rarely see anything through. How do you deal with this? cc @mdeiters from Assembly
P.S. thanks for the early access!
@rrhoover That is the tough part–which I can personally attest to. I've said that my first Chrome extension took eight weeks and thirty minutes. Eight weeks to get started and thirty minutes to actually code it. :)
My hope is that once you come to To Build Something, you're either in a place where you've started and need some feedback or you're there to provide help to someone who needs it. Either way you're building your network and not stuck all alone.
We'll see how much fall-off there is. I'm hoping not much, but it's too early to tell right now.
Just signed up :) I love how you focused on side projects as a way to cultivate skills and build a portfolio.
Can't wait to build something awesome with the community!
@yonidejene Excited to have you! That's really my favorite thing about side projects--building skills that you won't necessarily get in your day-to-day. As a developer, designer, business person, anything. It's going to make you more well-rounded.
