2026 Personal Release Notes

✅ Added

• Synthesized feedback from 10+ LaunchCrew beta users - identified top friction points, prioritized v2 scope
• Shipped this portfolio - designed and built solo with vibe coding
• Formalized an AI design workflow that produces non-generic output: inspiration → AI analysis → execution

🔭 Coming Soon

• LaunchCrew v2 launch with beta feedback fully integrated
• New side project - currently stealth 👀

🔧 Fixed

• "Ship and see" replaced by structured design review before a single line of code
• Async communication gaps - batched and documented instead of reactive pings

⚠️ Known Issues

• LaunchCrew v2 still in iteration
• Occasionally writes a PRD for something that didn't need one

✅ Added

• LaunchCrew — a pre-launch audit tool: paste URL, get actionable fixes with AI-ready prompts covering security, SEO, performance, accessibility, and QA
• Defined product scope, virtual team structure (6 personas), and go-to-market - no budget, no team
• 10-person structured beta before any public announcement - feedback loop built into launch process

🔭 Coming Soon

• LaunchCrew v2 with beta feedback integrated
• More experiments on AI + design quality

🔧 Fixed

• Shipping without validation - now always beta before broad release
• Generic AI-generated design - structured visual analysis step added to every project

⚠️ Known Issues

• LaunchCrew needs post-beta iteration before full public launch
• Documentation is functional, not pretty

✅ Added

• Discovered Maven - short-format expert workshops (30–45 min) on product, AI, design, and data. Enrolled in a lot of them.
• Built a 30-day programmatic video series using Remotion - one video per day, template-driven, zero manual editing per clip

🔭 Coming Soon

• Apply Remotion pipeline to Monsets Instagram content
• Turn Maven learnings into shipped features

🔧 Fixed

• Passive learning replaced with applied output - built something with every new skill instead of just taking notes
• Video production treated as a manual task - automated the pipeline with code

⚠️ Known Issues

• Maven wishlist is longer than available hours
• Day 30 videos look significantly better than day 1

✅ Added

• Monsets — WhatsApp bot that generates themed monthly milestone cards from a baby photo. Parents pick a theme, bot handles the rest
• Automated Instagram content pipeline - every reel on @monsets.co generated via Claude Code, zero manual editing
• Full marketing site built end-to-end with vibe coding - no designer, no dev team

🔭 Coming Soon

• Expanded theme library based on user requests
• More automation in the image generation pipeline

🔧 Fixed

• "A marketing site needs a designer" - proved otherwise
• Solo development isolation - shipped with real parent feedback from day one

⚠️ Known Issues

• WhatsApp Business API has strong opinions. Respected, still annoying.
• The catalog page filter UX needs a proper pass
