Personal stress, broken sleep, and a major refactor stalled execution, but I still showed up. Published my Builder Manifesto and got another pre-sale.

Recipe details screen and cooking mode are now live. This week I pivoted to building the recipe ingestion pipeline to unlock scalable growth.

Finalized recipe backend and image hosting, but got sidetracked by comics and social media. Time to go heads-down and get the core product ready.

Launched Menuvivo pre-sale, closed 3 first orders (one from a stranger), and pushed the recipe system integration live. Fear faced, market validated, mission alive.

Finalized recipe filtering, built a new RecipeService from scratch, and now getting ready to launch Menuvivo’s first ever pre-sale for Polish users.

Finished the Redux migration for inventory, kicked off recipe filtering logic, and recharged during a weekend spa retreat while still making progress.

A focused execution sprint filled with backend breakthroughs, frontend polish, public launch, and the first wave of user feedback.

A candid look at how I went from burned-out developer to SaaS founder — through false starts, pivots, and the decision to build Menuvivo.

I built the foundation of Menuvivo’s UI and infrastructure in just one week, simulating key flows and laying reusable deployment pipelines.
