Okay, tonight I'm going to #buildinpublic a landing page for Bluesky Scheduler. So you'll get to see my design struggles, I suppose ๐Ÿ˜„ Wish me luck!

Btw, the homepage currently looks like this (...yeah, that's all I've got) I'm happy enough with the header copy, it gets straight to the point and I'm okay with keeping it narrow - for now, at least Need to communicate the benefits better (so what?) and the CTA feels pretty ugly (sorry button)

- Added a subheading to showcase the benefits - Fixed the CTA - Wasted a bunch of time on a very annoying auth bug Need to add some social proof here, but for now, maybe I'll have some fun with it ๐Ÿ˜„

The annoying auth bug: I have a "sign out" link which seemed harmless: - Link to /sign-out - Clear the session - Redirect to homepage For some reason I kept getting logged out after clicking around a bit. No obvious reason, the cookie just disappeared Of course, Next.js was prefetching the link ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I just set prefetch=false on the link once I figured out the problem, maybe a POST request makes more sense semantically, but this works too!

Anyway, back to building: I really underestimated how long it would take to write the copy ๐Ÿ˜… Copywriting is not my forte. Or maybe the problem is indecisiveness (ha) Speaking of which: I need a second opinion here, any preferences? I'm leaning towards the bottom one b/c the spacing feels better...

Finished the landing page ๐Ÿ’ช There are still a few things I'd like to improve, it's not polished, but I wanted to get something "good enough" as a starting point - I feel like I've done that. Fun fact: the first post in this thread came via www.blueskyscheduler.com. It forced me to get started ๐Ÿ˜
