What do you do if you have software developers who want to learn something new? ❤️‍🔥

You invent something simple, and include the newest tech. #web3

We are making an e-learning platform with web3 aspects. More soon.

For now: let me show you what specs we gave to the #uxdesign
First we started with the mission.

I framed it in a way like @simonsinek did in his evergreen talk: ted.com/talks/simon_si…

- Why: code a useful project with web3 aspects
- How: Code it simple, show progress
- What: Gamified LMS with web3

#softwaredevelopment
That's what I sent to the #uxdesign freelancer.

It's really bare bones. Basically I just used @figma like this:

- take a browser shape (screenshot safari)
- buttons? use rectangles
- hyperlinks: use underlines
- comments? Just use odd shades and put text on it

Done.
Our PM then added a simple database model.

Good that our PM knows a bit or Rails coding.

What's your experience? Are PMs better who can code?

#projectmanager
We also added some ideas how the lesson flow should be.

General idea: you advance the lesson by solving a quiz.

We try to reuse modules. Want to make a course about something, why not reuse some other modules that are made public.

Everybody benefits.
Login via #web3 #wallets

We could enable email login, but we'll try to go only with wallet login for now.

What about the people who don't have a @MetaMask or anything yet?

They can learn the first lesson for free. And then get nudged into joining the #cryptospace
We only have 3 weeks for this, and we want to release something much earlier.

--> We don't have time for a fancy #Frontend .

But it should look good. What to do?

@_rareblocks to the rescue. They have _everything_ we need. No designer needed, just copy what works already.
Another idea we'll explore: Can the students mint their own #NFT after completing a course?

What do you think? What problems might we run into?
#gamification : this could be a great add-on as well to keep people engaged.

As our lessons require quizzes to be solved, this could be a good approach to push people to continue to the next lesson and keep learning about crypto.

That's it for today. Follow us for updates ❤️‍🔥

The development of our #web3 #eLearning app has been going on for a day.

Progress so far: we decided on the stack.

We are running with #rubyonrails version 7.

And some other nifty things:
👇 Image
We already said we'll use @_rareblocks . But even if not, we would use @tailwindcss . Advantages:

- It's very easy to make stuff that looks good.
- Just add CSS classes to divs. and there you go (at least that's what the #frontenddeveloper told me ;))
- just in time compilation Image
This frontend framework is truly simple and easy to learn: #stimulusjs.

We try to go with it and try not to add #ReactJS - but given the abundance of #web3 packages we might add react later.

Just completed the 21 day #habits challenge, inspired by @hubermanlab.

A group of 6 friends went for it. Each picked 6 Habits.

4 hit most days. 2 didn't.

Insights below:
We based our challenge on this video:

- Every habit at least once every 2 days.
- Every day at least 4 habits out of 6
- no punishment if you fail a day
- If you miss tracking for 2 consecutive days you are out of the challenge
Results: 8 people started, 2 stopped tracking. We checked in via spreadsheet + whatsapp

Results for me:
- did 11 sessions of cardio (will stick to it)
- Prioritized sales for @Pairingdev - which was my primary goal
- Started Journaling every day
- Gained 3kg 😮, gym 10 sessions

Timing of job interviews. The other day I saw on hacker news: a post from tanayagrawal (.substack .com)

“Your interview success can depend on how you schedule your interviews. Here’s how”

👇
Main points made:

- Schedule the interviews in blocks, and try to not hit a time right before/after holidays and long breaks
- Especially this one “I recommend scheduling interviews between 9 AM — 1 PM.”
- The time of the day also plays a role: theguardian.com/law/2011/apr/1…
But does it really matter?

From my experience as a person on the other end, I’d say those factors don’t play big role.

Why?

You don't know where in the process you are. could be the first person in line (the forget you). Or the last: someone else took the job already.
