straight away asking for the email. without even telling about the product isn't a good strategy.

that's fair. I am submitting this app quite early

I've thrown in a screenshot on the landing page to help better inform what the user is getting into. that's all I can do for now given my time constraints. later, I'd like to flesh out a decent landing page.

Nice idea, what did you use to create this?

Also, just a thought. It's interesting you called it what did you learn today, which makes me think this is about someone elses learnings and not about mine.

I'd call it WIL.today, what did I learn.

Or am I able to see other people's learnings somewhere?

I used React, GraphQL, and Node.js

The idea is one day folks could publicly share their learnings, and that one could participate in 'follower' paradigm similar to that of Twitter
