Coming Up
This week, I’m laser focused on building out a web app to serve as an admin portal. I’m using php’s Laravel framework, which should speed up development. Once the MVP is set up for the admin portal, I am going full bore into the iOS app. To stay up to date between blog posts, follow along on Twitter!
Also, I started vlogging this week. Similar to the blog, I hope to use the vlog as documentation of my progress on Crowd Card. I already have a YouTube channel for the company, but I haven’t posted any videos yet (link). Although I have a few things in mind for the channel (some of which you can see in the roadmap above), I am first and foremost focusing on developing the app and building the business. If I can get the vlog editing and uploading streamlined, I think it will be a nice addition to the project with a relatively small time commitment.
Okay back to work
