Haha yes! We're a very early stage startup and working on a heft technical challenge as a product. So while our engineers are working hard, I'm trying to assist where I can 😅

You're right! Our engineers are currently doing interviews and working on hiring. That's a good thought! There are some little browser-specific CSS bugs I do some more digging into while our front-end engineers are busy.

In a famliar place of being months ahead of engineering and scrounging for ways to add value ✨. I've done user research, put together north star concepts, put it in a sales demo video, filed bugs for UI polish in the app, redesigned calendar picker... what else guys?

LOL sounds like you've been here before 🍻

Best practice would be to keep most of it up your sleeve and spend the next few months drip feeding it and drinking mojitos.

Good idea! We're still in "stealth" mode so no marketing initiatives at the moment. But there are a few little svg animations I've been working on to add extra love to the UI <3

Oof.. I can understand being ahead of engineering but *months* ahead seems like a problem. It's great to get things done and have designs in place, but that only means so much if they're not being actively built..

Haha I was thinking that maybe I should ask our engineers to help me get my environment set up! I know html/css so *maybe* I could contribute? lol

Dang, sounds like yall need more engineers. Maybe pick up a project specifically to learn/further-develop a new skill? Any places where you could work to make things easier for design/engineering in the future?

Yeah might be worth a try and see how it goes, I think also can be helpful for the QA/filing UI bugs so you can just go in and add that polish

Alas, I can only aspire to that level of productivity.

look for ways to add delight to your product? check in with marketing and customer support to see if anything frequently pops up and try to explore that!

Good idea! We're still in stealth mode and probably will be for awhile. But you got my wheels turning! I could work on a landing page we send out for our targeted sales calls.
