Seems I wake between 2:30 and 4:30 AM each night after only three hours' sleep with a task to do for Rōmy. I get it done and then go back to sleep. Somehow I have got by ok this past week, when my sleep -- at night and naps during the day -- have totaled maybe 35 hours for the past seven days. If you want to see the barebones version of the app, check out the video here. DON'T expect to be impressed.

Having watched Steve Jobs describe how it takes "keeping 5,000 things in line" to move from idea to product results in my view of Rōmy alpha looking very ... pre-alpha. I made the mistake of checking the Mailchimp stats last night and seeing that only 1 of the 17 customers had actually navigated to the app. After five or so hours! Of course, it hit most people's InBoxes around dinnertime, so I'll check analytics again soon. I'm planning on a group Zoom/Google Meet to help them know how to prompt the AI and get desired results.

Though I missed my 5pm US CDT deadline I'd set for myself by 20 minutes, it was still only 20 minutes... And now 17 potential customers are trying out Rōmy for themselves. If you have or know someone with a nonprofit that receives < $1M revenue annually, some of it coming online from individual donors, please get on the list here: https://getromy.app/ !!

Well, well, well... Shipped the alpha product to 17 customers. Pretty stoked. Tired. But stoked.
