Build log - 1 - Find Your CTO
June 11, 2024
New project
Working on a new project is always exciting. I have a lot of ideas, but I need to focus on the process and "restrain" myself a bit to keep it as simple as possible. This is the build log for the first steps of the Find Your CTO project.
Find Your CTO
Building a reverse job board for (fractional) CTO's
I already dove into coding, but I need to take a step back and keep myself to "the process". First a simple sketch with pen and paper. Create a rough wireframe for the minimal viable product (MVP) I want to release asap. Then grab some Tailwind UI resources as a base for the layout.
And after that we start coding.
so first things first: sketching the flow
The sketch
Two user types:
- CTO's
- Businesses
A rough flow on the site will be:
- homepage
- sign up
- choose role CTO or Business
- fill in profile
- browse CTO's (paywalled and subscription only view)
- messaging (Businesses can message CTO's)
next up: Wireframe
resources
One resource I've previously used for this proces is the 24h MVP course (referral link). It lays out the MVP process I unknowingly already followed.
