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

My personal creed to start each day with clarity, purpose, and the relentless drive to build a better world.

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.

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