Solid ground

Just coming up for air, after a long, somewhat confusing, but ultimately very successful development sprint.

It feels like it’s been a while since the last plateaux. Thankfully things have improved considerably since then, even if there have been a lot more necessary detours and refactorings than I even dreamed there could be. The ground I am developing on is much more solid, both in the backend and frontend, and I have now put in place many very effective processes, to streamline my workflow, keep the codebase clean, well organised, that tells a strong and clear story of progress.

Today I've been planning the next two sprints, and there are some really cool features ahead. Overall the API and it’s new React frontend is looking very nice. Minimal, functional, uncluttered, fast.

Still a lot to do, but it feels good right now, even if I know I’ll be heading back into the eye of the storm very soon. #
