- Managed to publish two articles on Stef's Dev Notes and one of them gained a lot of visibility.
- Interacted with 3 writers from the same area of interest via comments and messages.
- Managed to apply to around 30 companies in Stockholm area.
- Managed to find an optimal solution for my micro-frontend side project in order to support multiple frontend frameworks, with a high focus on Next.js.
🚧 What didn’t go as planned?
- I did not manage to write as many notes as I planned to.
- I got some rejections on my job hunting.
- I got a huge bottleneck on my side project regarding Module Federation plugin compatibility with Next.js and this made me spend more than on the architecture design and implementation.
💡 What did you learn?
- I learned that some things will not always work as planned and that this will require a change of direction.
- I learned to take a break whenever I feel frustrated or overwhelmed.
- I learned that I need to adapt well to changing situations as a developer in order to thrive in today's work context.
- I learned essential information in building and designing micro-frontend architecture which has at its base Next.js.
🚀 What’s your focus for this week?
- Develop a system for creating substack notes.
- Create a survey to get to know better my readers and find out which are their needs and send it out to those who have high activity rate on my newsletter articles.
- Focus on interview preparation and develop a system to keep track of it.
- Document all the issues encountered on the first phase of the MVP and create a set-up guide.
- Continue working on the micro-frontend MVP by focusing on state management and micro-frontends communication.

Wow, you had a prolific week. 😊
I like that the focus for this week is more specific. Keep it going.
Also, I look forward to learning more about your system for creating Substack notes. I surely need one. 😆
🔥 What went well last week?
- I started a paid membership section for the newsletter.
- I started using the chat functionality and had my first chat interactions.
- I engaged with my paid readers and encouraged them to join the conversation and the chat.
- I have grown the community to 2 members, which means I have a yearly estimated donation of $4 (out of $200; I'm at 2%).
🚧 What didn’t go as planned?
- I was expecting more people to join by accepting the 60% off offer for the paid membership.
- I'm unsure if I failed to market it correctly or if there is no interest in the community.
💡 What did you learn?
- People love to share what they know.
🚀 What’s your focus for this week?
- Ask the paid members how I can provide more value to them.
- Write a first draft for the Hero Post.
