I wanted to work on my startup today, but I need to cut my calories, so my brain stopped working properly right after I finished doing a proper job.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I can't focus because I'm too hungry, but I can't eat because I need to get lean to be the representative face of my startup.
How am I supposed to escape the matrix?

Adding 3.5h today. I'm going to be fast because I want to sleep already.
- Login/sign-up works. I removed the Twitch provider and left Discord and Google. Why? Twitch doesn't work and I don't have time to fix it, especially after spending too much time removing my private email from the GCP OAuth config. I couldn't set up many things today because I was using the Auth.js beta version, which doesn't work particularly well. I spent time on edge cases I wanted to handle by the book, but it wasn't possible.
- Todo for tomorrow: When the user is logged in, they shouldn't be allowed to access the /authentication endpoint. It will take 5 minutes, so I can finally focus on features. YAAY!

Well, the time tracker says I worked 9 hours today. I don't quite believe it, but since I didn't log any hours yesterday, 9 hours seems about right. I completed the registration feature - it works. I'm going to remove the affiliates section from my MVP for now, it's too much effort and I don't even know if anyone is going to use it, so why I should care?
Registration works, but login doesn't, so tomorrow I plan to finish that and clean up the code. I'll also run more tests, because for some reason my SMTP doesn't connect consistently. Why? I have no idea - maybe it's my internet acting up at 9 PM. I'll test it again tomorrow, but I think that's the cause. My internet is really bad around 9 PM. Maybe I should just connect via cable.

Yesterday I didn’t code at all. I was too tired because of poor sleep and my annoying girlfriend, I kicked her out :D. Today I slept until noon. I can't say I was coding today, but I can't say I wasn't. I was sculpting. Why? Auth works, but not every feature is added. I created side navigation, but all of that requires more work. So, I was working a little bit on everything today.
For tomorrow, I plan to:
- Hard task – Make auth fully functional and visually appealing.
- Easy task – Fill in the affiliates section.
- Mediocre task – Further sculpt the right solution part.
Hmm, auth is planned to be completed tomorrow - maybe except for the email template. I might use something simple generated by AI initially. Affiliates will also be done tomorrow.
The UI for the solution part is done. Hmm, it doesn’t look complicated.
Next week looks possible, so I’m going to say: max 3 weeks and the app will be deployed. That’s because I don’t know how much time I’ll spend on it. Weekends are not included in the planning.
I actually can’t wait, because I want to go outside finally. The weather in May is beautiful, and I’m stuck with this project. I wouldn’t do this unless I really believed in what I’ve built.

2.5 hours today spent polishing the landing page. I added cookies, a privacy policy, and updated some details and descriptions to make it more convincing. Tomorrow, I'll review the landing page a 2nd time and work on the authentication and affiliates sections. Once that's done, I can start working on the user panel.

Spent 5 hours working on the app today. There's no way I'll complete it by May 5th. The landing page looks awesome, though. I'm honestly astonished - I even impressed myself. The plan for the next few days is to create real content for the legal pages, which means I need to write the ToS and Privacy Policy. I also need to reword the description for one item. I think the rest looks great.
Next, I'll start working on the other views. There aren't that many, honestly - just a creator page, an edit page, and a moderation page, ahh and I forgot about the donation and settings pages. Even though I already have components ready for creation and editing, I'll still need to connect them to the backend, and there are too many uncertainties right now. So, the current deadline still feels overly optimistic.
It could be doable if I focus all my time on the project until Sunday. What worries me most is the authentication flow, because I need it to look beautiful too.

The demo was successful today, at least for me, because I didn’t make any mistakes, so I’m glad about it.
I’m not in the mood to elaborate because I’m tired, but I added nearly 2.5 hours to the record. My laptop was turned on for a little over 3 hours, but I spent around 30 minutes giving my sister tips on how to improve her resume.
I have to boast a little - my landing page is starting to look like I spent millions of dollars on research and UX, and it’s all thanks to my talent luck... yup I did it by accident, by moving things around.
I really regret not starting with dark mode, but shit happens. If the project succeeds, I’ll add it.

I think I was coding a little on Saturday but I don't really remember. I think I was updating the landing page to make it more beautiful and I was really satisfied with the results. Later in the evening I was so fucking drunk that I started the madman show, it included
- singing the greatest music hits, parodying them with words insulting women
- dropping a barbell onto my girlfriend's ankle (accidentally, and it was her fault because I dropped it from the shock)
- making the bathroom soaked in a water and spit fight
- stealing my girlfriend's phone while she was sleeping and writing to random people in her contacts about the truth about jews
- doing the same but using my phone and contacts
- spraying bear spray inside one of my rooms
So on Sunday I was resting, and today I was coding only 3h. I was going to do more, but I'm tired already, mentally, because I need to show the same thing for the 3rd time during the demo tomorrow. It's embarrassing because we have an unwritten rule saying that we show only things that are already developed. Long story short, we have many unfinished changes on our side because the other team was delayed, and we'll need to integrate it all. Not integrated means not finished. So instead of cancelling the demo, our great management figured out we should show the same thing for the 3rd fucking time LOL.
I'm thinking about fucking them all and not joining the demo meeting. I'M PISSED OFF.
Ahh but regarding today - my landing page is starting to look AWESOME ngl. I would use it if I were a client-user.

Adding 3 hours of coding to the counter today. I know it's not much, but my brain feels full right now due to gin and tonic. I'm going to design a logo now. Graphic design, logos and stuff is a pleasure, I love it, so it'll be a nice time.
