### Monday

I reordered some stuff on my Second Brain on Notion and I setup my first call with my Padawan “Wannabe Speaker” for Codemotion.

In the morning, until after lunch I recreated the Red Origin project from scratch, as a Blazor Server project (it was Blazor WASM hosted) and I removed all dependencies from the UI and I added MudBlazor.
I will use it for this project to make a UI better and more fluid.

After dinner I sent out my first Dev Dispatch newsletter! I hope people like it!

It was not easy to click the button “Send” the first time!

**Mood:** 🙂

### Tuesday

In the afternoon, in the sparring time, I worked on one of my side project: Horoscope API.
I created a website on [Caard.com](http://Caard.com) because I don’t want to spend too much time on creating a landing page manually for this service.
Cardd is great for this kind of service and it’s really cheaper.
The link is: https://horoscopeapi.xyz/
I hope the website brings me more visits and subscriptions to the API.

**Mood**: 🍎

### Wednesday

In the morning I found the issue about publishing the website with Cardd on a custom domain. You need to verify the email or it doesn’t work.

In the afternoon I did a lot of scouting on Brandplane similar product. I found a lot of things in common but a lot of the competitors have a better interface for them.

**Mood: 🤘**

### Thursday

First call mentoring a new customer for Backend development (junior developers). They have mockup, I will try to explain to them how to write user stories and manage projects.

Wrote down all the outline for GitHub Course about Visual Studio Code and GitHub.

A briefing call with Marta about BrandPlane and new features.

**Mood: 😱**

### Friday

I finalized all the outlines for the LinkedIn Learning course about Visual Studio Code and GitHub.
I fixed some bugs in the license check services in Brandplane.

I published a new blog post about building a contact form with Azure and Blazor.

After dinner I have some time and I decided to did a few easy tasks that expires the next week.
I created the template for my newsletter. Starting from the next time it should be easy to create a new issue.

**Mood: 🧑‍🚀**
