Build Log

Daily notes from the messy middle of building SaaS in public.

This is where short build-in-public updates can become durable notes: observations from ZeroToUser, SpotAQ, lead research, product iteration, and the work of getting from idea to real users.

How this log compounds

  • Capture Day X notes before they disappear into the timeline.
  • Turn repeated user pain into product direction.
  • Expand the strongest weekly note into a longer essay.
  • Connect each essay back to a product, a real experience, and a clear next step.
