Construyo Vekipper: tu Google y Outlook en una sola agenda.
Comparto lo que aprendo en el camino.

[morgan @morgancacm]

Llevo meses construyendo Vekipper: una agenda que junta tu Google Calendar, tu Outlook, tus tareas de Google y de Microsoft.

No guarda ninguna información delicada de ti ni de tus apps de productividad, se lee la información cada vez que entras. La idea es empezar a documentar mi proceso con la construcción de esta herramienta por aquí y recibir muchas recomendaciones, usuarios, personas cercanas y conocedores del tema que me ayuden a mejorar.

Si tu problema también es tener que saltar entre ventanas o apps cada que vas a organizar te entonces te dejo aquí el enlace ⬇️

@yhimanshu22456 You’re right, they’re essential in this process of creating something yourself.

I don't think I'll upload updates today in building in public, I have a big downturn and block for comments from people that's good, it's what there is to show here with an idea 🤦🏻‍♂️

[morgan @morgancacm]

@george_youye George, thank you very much. Actually, I uploaded it on the 5th – a day ago – so do have a look.

We're now over 100 people connected ❤️ through this process, and that makes me really happy because they bring me knowledge, support, and recommendations. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my posts.

Vekipper is currently waiting on both verifications, from Google and Microsoft, so everyone can connect their account without worries and without warnings that my site isn't secure. Yesterday I spent a good amount of time on the requirements and steps for those two verifications, and now I'm waiting for responses.

I've been thinking about something and I'd like to hear your opinion: for now, I want to keep Vekipper on a waitlist until I launch the mobile app. In other words, close access to new users and have people join a list instead. But I don't know how many of my 22 registered users actually use Vekipper. Maybe they signed up and left because there's no mobile app, or because of the verification warnings, which I understand can scare them away.

On another note, in my last post I asked for monitor recommendations because I needed another one. Nobody replied, but I took action and bought this Samsung 27-inch IPS. That's how my setup is coming along. What do you think of it?.

I said I wouldn't post an update today because certain comments have left me discouraged, saying Vekipper has no future because Google and other apps already do everything it does, and so on. Honestly, they've done what they set out to do: they've made me question whether I should keep investing this much in this. What do you all think? I'd appreciate honesty over anything sugarcoated.

As for the verifications, I got an email today from a Google employee sharing a list of requirements to pass verification. What I don't understand is why they give you this after you've already submitted the request rather than before, but that's how it is.

I got one more registered user on Vekipper, and honestly I don't know where they came from. I think before going to sleep I'll set up Google Search Console to look at those metrics.

The blow has been so hard that I haven't even touched Vekipper today :/ But good luck to everyone with their projects and everything you're building quietly. ❤️

@TheXSami What a bloody beauty, mate – congratulations and enjoy it!

[morgan @morgancacm]

@itsanchitd Would you be up for it? I must be honest with you – I don’t have a budget set aside for a design. You’ll understand that building something on your own is a real financial burden.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@itsanchitd I’ve had a look at your website – it looks interesting and, above all, really stylish. How did you create those designs? I need them.
I’m building a unified calendar using AI that integrates Google and Microsoft

[morgan @morgancacm]

@hey_arin Yes, of course – those little ‘boring’ things at the end of the day are the ones that teach you something that’ll stand you in good stead later on.

I recently read a post saying NOT to build in public, because someone could steal your idea before you've launched it. It's got me thinking, and I'd like to hear what you all think about it.

I do have to complete a series of steps and meet requirements so Google verifies my website. Among them is a YouTube video showing Vekipper's features that match the sensitive permissions I requested from the Google API. It'll take weeks, but it's definitely something I'll have to cover myself, since I'm the only founder.

I love that I'm building more networks and a real audience that supports me and gives me advice through this process. I hope to keep growing and meeting people like you. I'd also love to work on someone else's project too, like a startup or something similar. Those are things that really motivate me, and I want to contribute everything I can.

This single laptop screen already feels too small for me with its 14", so this week I'm buying a second monitor. If anyone has a recommendation, you're welcome to share it!

Mike, it's a pleasure to greet you, I saw your post about forming a team for the app you have in mind to launch. I want to apply for it, I'm Morgan, I have the time and the necessary willingness to work in a team with more people, I am currently the founder and sole developer of https://t.co/nYtigRJ5XW, I am building it in public and sharing my process here in X, I remain attentive to your answer, I would love to be part of this.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@pablonasarre__ Thank you brother, I've followed you.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@umar_who_code I followed you back there – it was a pleasure.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@almokhtar_al It does take a while, but I’m patient. What can you recommend?

[morgan @morgancacm]

@ceoonlocalhost I do think it’s possible, but you don’t have access to all your tasks from more than one provider right there on that single screen or calendar grid.

[morgan @morgancacm]

Thanks, I really appreciate it – that one’s still a work in progress too, HAHAHAHA. I’m building a unified calendar with events and tasks from Google and Microsoft; everything is managed bidirectionally and it also has built-in AI to help with and suggest time slots, events, tasks and planning.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@alvarombt Yo estoy en eso ahora mismo porque quería retroalimentación y conectar con otras personas que estuvieran construyendo algo.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@AbdullahArab101 Congratulations! How did you manage to get that first client? I need to know how you did it.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@leo_mercerr I follow your updates closely; you’re a source of inspiration to me.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@smobilefactory Thank you, I really appreciate that compliment; I’ll keep at it.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@UnknowncoderDev I suppose that’s a good thing in the long run, too.

[morgan @morgancacm]

@StevenHWhite They found me through a video of mine talking about Vekipper on TikTok; it’s a good platform for driving traffic.
