Did you create something over the weekend? Don’t let it gather dust in your drafts.
Share it with others, monitor your progress, and allow a community of creators to help you polish and promote it.
Going incognito is overrated. Collective energy is what drives success.

UI building just got way more fun.
With ShadCN Create, you choose:
- Style base (Vega, Nova, Maya...)
- Color palette
- Accents
- Fonts
- Icon set
Feels like LEGO for design systems.

Monday isn’t just a restart. It’s a clean git commit.
Wipe the old bugs. Rewrite what matters. Set the tone for your whole repo (and week) by shipping with intention.
Most folks coast. You can build momentum.

Problem-solving, systems thinking, debugging-coding teaches skills that outlast tech trends.
Those abilities? They show up everywhere, not just the terminal.
You get better at breaking down problems, reasoning, and building stuff that actually works.

Pre’s launch playbook, boiled down:
1. Start with your obsession
2. Spot friction in your own life
3. Build an MVP (don’t wait)
4. Share authentically from day one
5. Ship, repeat, improve
Simple, but the results stack up.
