Hey y’all — JC here.
Two days ago, I had a couple of hours between meetings.
Not enough time for a big project.
Too much time to waste scrolling X.
So I set myself a challenge:
Come up with an idea. Build it. Ship it.
Same day. No delays. No perfect plan.
Just pure creation mode.
What came out of that sprint was TodayInOne. A one-line daily journal for people who hate journaling.
No fluff.
No morning prompts.
Just one line, once a day.
Honestly? Because I missed that “make something out of nothing” feeling.
We spend so much time thinking, planning, tweaking…
Sometimes you forget how fun it is to just build.
To chase an idea for the hell of it.
So I put a timer on.
Opened Replit.
Came up with the name, the flow, the UX all on the fly.
Used AI tools to help with parts of the copy.
Tweaked the styling.
Pushed it live.
Done.
Could I make it better? Sure.
Could I add more features, privacy, email reminders? Definitely.
But that wasn’t the point.
The point was: How fast can I go from spark to shareable?
And the crazy part?
It felt easy.
Not because I’m some dev god but because the tools are just that good now.
With platforms like Replit, V0.dev, or Manus you’re minutes away from prototypes.
AI fills in the blanks.
You just need to show up with the idea.
Speed matters.
Not for the sake of hustle, but momentum.
Most people have a million ideas and zero action.
But when you ship something, even something small it shifts your energy.
You feel more confident.
You remember you’re a builder.
And maybe most importantly…
you inspire someone else to go build theirs.
That LinkedIn post?
It wasn’t about the app.
It was about showing what’s possible.
And I’ll say this again for anyone who needs to hear it:
If you’ve got an idea you’ve been sitting on, go build it.
Don’t wait for the right time.
Don’t overthink it.
Just open your laptop, set a timer, and get after it.
Catch you on the next one!
