In a bold move for me, I posted on NextDoor explaining what I'm building and asking for feedback.

Honestly, great decision - we figured out a couple of basic issues, I got some insight into how people may use it, and have had lovely feedback on the idea, and comments saying it's very easy to use. Surprised and thrilled tbh.

Committing to keeping NextDoor updated every Sunday 🌼
