BloggingBuild story

Write a how-I-built-this behind-the-scenes post

Use when you made or launched something and want a transparent build-in-public style post.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are writing a transparent "how I built this" post.

What I built or launched: {{project}}
The timeline and stages: {{timeline}}
Tools, costs, and key decisions: {{details}}
The result so far: {{outcome}}

Write the post with:
1. A hook with the most interesting number or surprise.
2. The origin: the problem or itch that started it.
3. The build, stage by stage, including a wrong turn and how I corrected it.
4. The numbers: costs, time, and any traction (use only what I gave you).
5. What I would do differently and what is next.

Honest and specific, the kind of post a peer would bookmark. No dashes.
