new idea: allowing you to set if you want to require approval before allowing contact.

Just wrote an update to go out to everyone who's reserved a username so far. Will send tomorrow sometime. pretty exciting to see things start to come together.

Got v0.1 of messaging in place now too. It includes a really annoying to code live status indicator when the person is on the conversation Here's a preview share.cleanshot.com/ZVryZJFZ So recap: - Profiles mostly in place - Messaging somewhat in place Up Next up is a list of devs

👀It's the first look at v0.1 of profiles The expertise section is hardcoded still, but everything else is editable! railsbuddy.com/andrea

What if you had space to express yourself on your profile for RailsBuddy? 🤔 You could express yourself, why you're looking to find a pair/how you work best, share your skill levels and so forth. Still WIP but this is kinda closer to the vision in my head. Thoughts/Feedback?

Next up will be a code of conduct for all participants. An important step in ensuring we have a welcoming, safe and inclusive community.

This layout just wouldn't do. Spent some time pulling in a layout I had in another project... still a bunch to figure out, but that's all for today.

I've hello world'd the app, when do I IPO? #rails

Thank you all! It's official we're doing the thing. Keep those signups coming, the more we get the better chance of finding a buddy come launch date! It's time for us to roll up the sleeves, open a coca-cola and get to work.

Thrilled at the reception so far for RailsBuddy, please tell your friends, we're halfway to reaching the minimum viable users for the community. ❤️ Though I'm aiming for 500 (which would be amazing). More signups = More chances to find a buddy railsbuddy.com
