December 26, 2025 | Day 11 of the Journey to 10k Users and $100k MRR
Came back from the break and uncovered several platform issues. Spent the day debugging and stabilizing Ideatr instead of shipping new features. Heavy building resumes tomorrow with a clearer foundation.
Today was not about adding new features or pushing marketing. When I came back after the short break, it became clear that there were several underlying issues in Ideatr that needed to be addressed before moving forward at full speed.
I spent the day deep in debugging — tracking down errors, cleaning up unstable behavior, and understanding where the platform was breaking under real usage. Some of these issues weren’t obvious at first, but they’re exactly the kinds of problems that quietly destroy user trust if left unfixed.
This wasn’t glamorous work, but it was necessary. There’s no point in pushing growth or adding features if the core experience isn’t reliable. Today was about stabilizing the foundation so future work actually sticks instead of creating more technical debt.
The plan is to start aggressively building again tomorrow, now that these issues are clearer and contained. The focus going forward is execution with fewer distractions, fewer half-measures, and more completed features.
Progress isn’t always visible. Sometimes it’s just making sure things don’t break.
