Here we go
I am doing something a bit crazy (for me). I am building a start-up from scratch in 80 days. I got the idea from the 80-Day Startup.
I am building TVLens, a MovieLens-style TV show recommendation platform. We have a landing page that explains a bit about the website.
I do not have a logo but we have a basic design for what the website looks like. I did this to make sure I set up the TMDb API correctly. The next step is to set up the recommender which is the engine that will link all the TV shows together.
The code is on GitHub if you want to follow along.
Landing Page
I decided to go with the landing page and as a way to put “skin in the game.” I am not excited with how the website looks in demo right now but at least the idea is real and out there.
Newsletter
I wanted to set up a newsletter for the 80-Day Project. Everything was so complicated and paywalled at $7 to $9 a month. I was looking for an RSS-to-email feature but they are all behind a paid plan.
So there is a link on the 80-Day Project page that sends me an email so that I can add you to the distro list. The list is a plain text file I keep myself. If you want to unsubscribe, reply to any email and I will take you off.
See you all tomorrow for Day 1!
