Learning to code 👨💻
In August, I built an app called Ignition using the no-code tool Flutterflow.
It’s a super simple app (basically an AI wrapper for now), but as I try to improve it, I’m realizing that no-code tools are not enough.
I also have many SaaS ideas that require coding skills, so I decided that now is the time to learn.
After almost 3 months of learning on YouTube, I now have a good basic foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but it’s clearly not enough! I’m focusing on solidifying these skills by completing the full stack javascript course at The Odin Project.
Writing as much as possible ✍️
I used to write for my last project, seremettredunerupture.com, which I eventually stopped working on.
I wrote about 100 articles for that project, and each time I finished one, I felt a sense of accomplishment that I can’t find anywhere else.
I want to maintain this habit and write as much as I can.
Although I have more urgent matters at the moment, I will aim to write at least one article per month without putting too much pressure on myself.

Becoming good at chess ♟️
Chess has always been on my mind.
I started playing a little about 6 years ago, and thanks to the show The Queen’s Gambit and a friend of mine, I decided to resume my learning with the goal of reaching a 1500 ELO rating before turning forty.
For now, I focus on solving 5 chess puzzles every day with a 4:1 success ratio.
