Published the last N&W update

Did it at the last minute, or rather with a delay. No big deal. However, the fact that the quality of the video is not the best and I was “mumbling”, says that I did it in a hurry, obviously.

What’s the point? I’m more than sure that I won’t make it to the Final 32 — it’s a $100K contest, and I think that’s mostly because of a bad demo video. Of course, my personal confidence for the project is rather low in the context of this contest — most of the folks have more interesting ideas, and more suitable at that, IMHO. Does not mean that mine is bad — just not suitable for this competition. Again, IMHO.

In any case, I will watch the stream, because I’m curious who will be a winner. Also, there will be a demo day just for N&W participants in Discord.

By the way, I did not write about the previous update, because I was waiting for updated leaderboard results. They are still updating it, I guess. I am in 32nd place, although they didn’t add the points to my score yet — waiting for the update, what else can I say. It will be interesting to know what place I was in the leaderboard at least.

Nights&Weekends is over, but I didn’t make it to Final 32

Upset, but not much — there’re a lot of interesting projects in the finals, I wonder who will win.

What surprised me is... the meaning of the leaderboard. More precisely, I don’t think there is any. Only 15 people made it to Final 32 — that’s almost half.

I’m glad that many underdogs can compete for $100K. Folks have great ideas, but they didn’t get much (or at all) revenue or users — nevertheless, they were given a chance for various reasons. That’s truly great!

However, again, what was the point of the leaderboard? I won’t be able to find out.

Anyway, you can find all the Nights&Weekends alumni on the official page with the demo videos. There’s my half decent one too, of course.

You can watch the competition and vote for your favorite Final 32 project tonight at 21:30, Yerevan time (GMT+4).

BTW, I do suck at math, but can someone explain how Nights&Weekends leaderboard score was calculated?

1. Why is it this week – last week? Why not this week + last week?

2. If it’s like that, why my week 4 score isn’t 5750, but 7115?

3. Most important question — where did 8995 come from?
It turns out I should have posted the total income, not a specific weekly one.

So, at the end of last week I’m in 23rd place in the leaderboard — with 13710 points.

I attached screenshots of the results and chat with Buildspace support.
Homo Ludens.

Had a call with a potential investor 😎

To my surprise, I received an email from a scout of one of the VC funds yesterday, with a proposal to discuss Georgy.Design.

I sent him a Cal.com link, and we finished talking about 15 minutes ago — it’s nice to know that my project has investment potential. We agreed that the startup is at a very early stage right now, but we’ll have a call in 2-3 months — gonna discuss the results and achievements of the project.

If everything goes well, it will be possible to get a six-figure investment (pre-seed) 🚶‍♂️

I will continue to work on Georgy.Design — will keep you informed on the progress to, ofc 👍

I made a video about all new and upcoming updates in Webflow — basically, it’s an overview from the latest “Tiny But Mighty Updates” stream.

It’s my first video for an English-speaking audience, so I’ll appreciate any feedback 😅

The importance of polishing your products 👀

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was recently released on Nintendo Switch (you can play on other devices, I personally play on Legion 7 via the Yuzu emulator) — the game scored 10 out of 10 from almost every reviewer. And it’s a fair score because the game is great.

However, my message is this: you can never know what will make your product popular, and sometimes you can follow a hutch or hold all sorts of focus groups — overall, you need to try and find out what works well, then invest in it.

Tears of the Kingdom is a sequel to Breath of the Wild, which was released 6 years ago. The developers of the new game said that it was ready a year ago, but they have been polishing the physics in the game all this time — and this is really now the standard in games.

Thanks to the polish, almost all the videos on this game are a demonstration of in-game physics and how it interacts with the environment.

So yeah, folks, we need to try, test and if something turns out well, invest in it — then rinse and repeat

Now you can create up to 150 static pages in Webflow 🤩

The increase from 100 to 150 pages is available to people on all site plans for no additional cost.

Great news! Many folks complained that they did not have enough pages, although I have never seen a project in which this would really be necessary, because it is necessary to use a CMS.

Quick Stack — improving work speed in Webflow 🤔

Webflow team has added a new element called Quick Stack — it is a grid with div blocks in each cell. There are also 8 presets that are, basically, structure templates.

Quick Stack vs grid and flex

The main difference is that Quick Stack is an element that consists of a grid that has cells pre-populated with divs set to flex — this can be achieved by making all of it manually, of course, but you will need to spend substantially more time. The cells in Quick Stack can be merged, so it’s quite a handy element!

Really interested how Quick Stack will be implemented in libraries like Relume Library — I imagine how it would be possible to copy components, and quickly and efficiently setup manage the design in a few clicks by changing a preset.

Google Domains shutting down — the domains will be migrated to Squarespace 😐

There will be no change in prices until about Q4 2024, as stated by Squarespace. Google said they want to “manage resources more efficiently” + other corporate slang — another project in Killed by Google franchise.

The news is sad, plus or minus, because as far as I know Google Domains was a very good service, and how Squarespace will manage domains is unclear.

On my own behalf, I will recommend using proven and good registrars that I use myself:
