Daily Logs
Day 10
Apr 30, 2026 · 11:44 AM
Channel review day — 5 videos uploaded, 1.2K total views, 47 subscribers. Not viral but a solid foundation. Set up a posting schedule for consistency.
Day 9
Apr 28, 2026 · 8:46 PM
Batch-designed thumbnails for all remaining videos. Set up a consistent style: bold font, face showing emotion, 2-3 word title.
Day by day, brick by brick. This is how real builders do it 💪
Day 8
Apr 28, 2026 · 2:44 AM
Video 5: 'My Honest Review of Cursor IDE.' Opinion piece format. This was the most fun to make — just talking to the camera naturally.
Day 7
Apr 27, 2026 · 7:22 AM
Shot Video 4: 'Learn Git in 10 Minutes.' Concise tutorial format. Also created my first YouTube Short from a clip of this video.
I love that you're sharing the struggles too, not just the wins.
Day 6
Apr 25, 2026 · 10:19 PM
Studied YouTube analytics — Video 1 has 234 views, Video 2 has 412 views. Shorts seem to get better reach. Planning to add some.
Day 5
Apr 25, 2026 · 11:01 AM
Video 3: 'How I Organize My Projects (Notion Tour).' Screencast format. Added chapter timestamps and end screen cards.
Day 4
Apr 23, 2026 · 10:44 PM
Designed custom thumbnails for both videos using Canva. A/B tested 2 thumbnail styles — the bold text overlay performed better.
Day 3
Apr 22, 2026 · 8:15 PM
Video 2: '5 VS Code Extensions You Need.' Shorter format, screen recording heavy. Much faster to produce. Uploaded and scheduled for tomorrow.
Day 2
Apr 22, 2026 · 8:44 AM
Shot and edited Video 1: 'My Developer Setup Tour 2026.' Learned so much about lighting and audio. Took 4 hours total but the result is decent.
https://www.figma.com/file/shared-designThe progress from day 1 to now is incredible. Keep pushing!
Day 1
Apr 20, 2026 · 10:22 PM
Set up the channel — banner, profile pic, about section, and channel keywords. Planned 10 video topics in my niche (productivity for developers).
Real talk — this is better than most tutorials I've seen. Genuine build log.
