Do progress updates, or even ideation posts, fit this community?

Motivations:

  • I don't ton of free time, which means when I finally finish something I'm much more likely to share the end result and not get into the details that eventually got me there. IMO the details, especially the failures along the way, are a lot more interesting than just the result and provide more opportunity for teaching/learning
  • Big projects can be daunting. Talking about the journey will help others be more willing to set off on their own journey

I have to tell myself constantly that progress made is still made. I want to hear about the magic, the misses, and the "I used my ultrasonic cleaner on my snowblower's carburetor and now it shoots a pinhole amount of gas out of the side" moments!

Totally agree! Let's celebrate the journey and not just the destination. Oftentimes, the journey is more interesting and you might not ever make it to the destination.

I Made This

Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.
