Announcing my @beondeck Global Build Weekend Project:

Nyaaya, a FREE contract automation platform to bring legal aid to millions of Indians who cannot afford lawyers.

I aim to launch an MVP this weekend.

My tech stack: @BRYTER_io, @canva, Carrd

I've wanted to work on it for years but for the first time, no-code has given me the powers to realize my dream.

Doing it as part of @beondeck Global Build Weekend since it gives me a deadline and enough push to get it done quickly.

Why am I doing it alone and not as part of a team?

I want to see if one lawyer can automate a big chunk of lawyering work in a weekend.

That might be the wake-up call that other lawyers need to understand the disruption that's coming for the profession.

Update : I'm going to live stream my build!
#buildinginpublic, trying to make @thisiskp_ proud 😉

Update : power cut! 😔
Going the pen and paper route to plan my build until power is back

Admittedly there's a ton of Nyaaya projects out there but I like the name since it's Sanskrit for justice 🎓⚖️

Streaming here:

Designing the minimum viable brand for Nyaaya.

Step 1 is the icon for the logo.

I like option # 2.

I don't like overthinking the MVB, I like making quick decisions about it, ensure it looks good for the MVP and then ship quickly.

I'll make changes and improvements later if needed but most of the time that's not needed.

I spent about ~6 hours preparing for and attending my interview. Will continue building after a nap.

Okay slight panicking since I lost most of the last 18 hours

Getting back to build, this is my checklist:

The contract for the MVP is ready.

Rental Agreements are one of the most prevalent forms of contracts used by the common person in India, so I'm launching v1 with this.

Step two is automation. This might be tricky

I set up my parameters for the automation and it seems to be on track, but it takes many tries over many hours to get it just right.

So I'm going to take a break to work on the branding now.

Going ahead with this.
