flywheel
ok so i spent a great deal of time on this - it started as a goofy leaderboard site for me and my “founder friends” based on who had the most users / mrr and ended as a itty bitty react library for adding pretty leaderboard components to your site. this was the first npm package i built and also the most time i spent on design. at the beginning it was just a site for ranking founders right but then a lot of people started asking me if i could also make leaderboards for them, so i was like hey im just gonna make a site where people can just create a leaderboard almost how on typeform you can just create forms and share them w people w/o needing to build the form site yourself, basically they would fill out a lil form and get back a shareable link that people could use to join.
then at the end i realized that people mostly cared about the components themeselves from the site and **really** wanted to embed them on their site, so much so that this one company was willing to pay for it, so i built the react library.
it was so fun because at the time i was really obsessed with react components and making my own was so fulfilling.
at the time i would record a video every day and ship something for flywheel, and post these as “daily ship its“. was grind time fr LMAO.
