I continued my research journey in April with two main goals in mind - to learn more about AI content creation and to build a product of my own. For my AI content creation research, I watched videos from a YouTuber who shares about all the latest AI-related stuff, and

March is a great month because many exciting things happen in real life, but it has been relatively quiet for me regarding products and freelance work. I completed two major things in March: the Product Weekend #2 challenge and the Typefully 30 days 30 posts challenge. For the Product Weekend

FilaHQ Mobile App

In 2024, I had an idea for a mobile app that would showcase widgets built using FilamentPHP. I recently built a donation site for a client using FilamentPHP and created some widgets to showcase donation trends. However, the people who were interested in seeing these trends were not the same

After having a successful first Product Weekend, I thought of trying to push my product-building momentum by having the same campaign once a month. However, the second Product Weekend didn't add much value this time. Here's what I had planned https://twitter.com/imknight/status/1768644988986925226

February was an interesting month for me. While I was enjoying the Lunar New Year festival, I also kicked off several projects. My original goal was to complete three things, but I think I passed with flying colours. 1. I started the whole product weekend campaign again and completed most

Product Weekend 2024 #1

I love to focus on doing my own things over the weekend. It's like a hackathon from the old days, although I never officially participated in one. Sometimes I clear a few tasks over the weekend, while other times I focus on building a product prototype. In any

I have set a goal for myself in 2024 to achieve a product income of $10k. Due to some changes in my life, I have been going through a period of low productivity in 2023. In order to overcome this and provide a better future for my children, I have

I was considering having a short #productchallenge2023 to make the most of the last 20% of the year 2023. I wanted to push myself to build something to end the year better. However, I missed the opportunity and it feels like the universe is telling me to quit. My main

In August, I stopped building products to focus on my freelance work and explore AI. However, I failed in the AI aspect. My original plan was to use AI to optimize my personal branding and help my wife build an AI virtual avatar for her business. Unfortunately, I was tied
