Product Weekend Feb 2025
I have just launched the 2025 edition of the Product Weekend, a series I began in 2023. Each month, I dedicate a weekend to focus on my products, whether it involves enhancing existing features, developing new ideas, or researching and creating prototypes. The series typically runs from February through November, allowing ten weekends dedicated to product development a year. My goal is that the outcomes from these weekends will contribute to the success of my indie business.
So, what did I accomplish during the February 2025 Product Weekend? After being busy with work since December, this is the first opportunity in 2025 I've had to dedicate time to building something, so I opted for a lighter project. I am working on a FilamentPHP-based concepts content engine called Flow and plan to migrate my existing blog hosted on Hashnode over to it. I've been developing Flow for some time, so I aim to complete it and release the Alpha version with a demo and blog migration this weekend.
Flow is still a rough idea, which I have released as a concept repo. Once the concept stabilizes, I will repackage and launch it as a plugin. My new blog will be migrated to a split edition on Flow because it includes features tailored to my personal needs. Throughout the blog-building process, I can implement some desired enhancements into Flow.
