Been adding new articles to the marketing site of GarageExit, this is an article that could be useful to learn more about branding https://garageexit.com/blog/what-is-a-verbal-brand

I'm days away of launching my first working web app, and obviously shitting on my pants, not gonna lie. But I'm not seeing the launch as the end of a process, but the beginning of one. I've setup a roadmap for my future self, where I start to productize all my past professional experience into tools. GarageExit is the first step on that path, and although is not my first time rodeo as an entrepreneur, it's totally my first time launching a digital product by myself, so no pressure. Waitlist is s

Ive been working on the SEO aspect at the same time that im finishing the app. Lots of new blog posts, DR is starting to move, slowly but at least moving. Also lots of improvements to the landing of https://garageexit.com/

Saturday is for the small details. Improving landing page visual details and messaging. Getting closer to finishing the app, so starting to migrate the landing from waitlist to final launch state.

Wow! been away for some time and now checking out the new Builders design for the first time 🔥 great job, team!

Been busy improving the landing copy generator of GarageExit, making slow progress, but getting there. I'm starting to get the outputs i'm looking for, so i hope to finish this module soon and move on. After this there are just two more modules to complete, then a final pass of small fixes. I know that im closer to launching the app, but at the same time it looks so far some days. Wonder how do you guys handle that finish line ansiety?

I wanted to add a more personal touch to the About page of GarageExit and talk about who's behind the project, a.k.a me, but also have some fun in the process, so I've created this keychain figurine. That helmet looks ready to hit anything on the road 😅

The domain and social media handle availability check works quite well so i've decided to offer that as a free service. I'm planning on doing that more often, re-using some implemented logic from the main app to offer more free goodies.

Let me know if its useful for you, or if you would like something added to it.

On December of last year I started building another idea, but then by mid December I decided to change gears and started building GarageExit which is an idea i'm really connected to. Still a few miles ahead but getting closer.

Clearly the one-shot promises didn't work for me 😂

Finally getting the naming generator in a good enough shape to continue implementing other modules of the Verbal Kit. Saying it's not being easy it's an understatement, not so much because of the actual logic behind it, but working with LLM outputs is not a straight line, not even close. Two small phrases added to a prompt can make all the difference in the world and also being a more "creative and subjective" kind of output, well, it takes time just to test variations. I'm still not 100% satisf

I'm rethinking and streamlining the whole name generation module and at the same time trying out Qwen3.6 Plus, and have to say it's doing great, really fast and it's multi agent capability is neat. And it's free right now in Opencode, so really worth a try if you are building something at the moment 👌🏻

This past week i've been working on improving a lot of backend stuff for GarageExit, simplifying steps, cleaning up code structure, and also improving auth flows, email flows, all the important but not so fun part, at least not for me. But I also made some time to update some visual details and I could spent HOURS on these tiny stupid details 🙈 That's why I have a self imposed rule of not playing with the visual part unless I have at least 5x times more actual app functionality done before twea
