the search console thing finally worked. felt weirdly emotional about a technical SEO fix, which is a sentence I never thought I'd say

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

quiet week overall. fixed small things, launched somewhere new, hit one dumb little irony. some weeks are just that and it's fine

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

quiet week, but quiet isn't the same as stalled. still here, still building, just slower some weeks than others

rebuilt the whole landing page — real product mockups, public pages for everything. also means google can finally see the site properly

had a client go quiet for a week and then act like nothing happened when they came back. no acknowledgment, no "sorry for the delay," just straight back into asking for things. still don't know how to feel about that

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

Said something was coming. Here it is: rebuilt Parlo's entire public landing page — real product mockups, public routes for signup/login/pricing.

Also means Google Search Console finally verified. Sitemap's submitted. The login-wall irony from a few weeks back is fixed.

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

no ship this week. still exists, still works, still free to try. sometimes the update is just "nothing broke"

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

launched on product hunt this week. no big spike, no dramatic story. just wanted it to exist there. counts for something

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

reread some of the earliest posts from when this account had like 13 impressions. weirdly motivating. not because the numbers were good, they weren't, but because the fact that I was already doing this then means the current slow week isn't actually starting from zero

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

some days building this alone just feels like talking to a room with nobody in it. not every day. today was one of them

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

anyone else building something on the side of school or a full-time job? how do you actually split the hours, or do you just not

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

freelancers — what's the most unhinged thing a client has ever asked you to redo "real quick"

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

the annoying thing about a quiet build week is the marketing doesn't get to be quiet too. still need to show up here even when there's nothing new to show

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

tried to verify parlo with google search console this week. it wouldn't go through. turns out the homepage sits behind a login. the tool built entirely around removing login friction has a login wall stopping google from looking at it. sat with that one for a minute

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

zero commits this week. not because I'm burnt out, just because assignments exist and rent doesn't pay itself with vibes. building this around a degree is its own kind of math problem

[Angelo @Angelo1119908]

studying thermodynamics today, thinking about client portals in the back of my head the entire time. not sure that's healthy but here we are
