This week: no dead buttons
Morning, everyone.
I spent most of last week putting real screenshots into a member area I'm building.
The thing that took longest wasn't the screenshots.
It was a video player sitting on 64 pages with nothing behind it.
Looked finished.
Click it and nothing happened.
I replaced all 64 with one sentence: "Video coming for this lesson."
Felt like a downgrade for about ten minutes.
It wasn't.
A player that doesn't play tells someone the thing is broken.
A line that says it's coming tells them it's on the way.
Same amount of actual content, completely different read.
Every client account I've built has a version of this.
The portal tab with nothing in it.
The resources link that 404s.
The pipeline stage nobody has ever moved a card into.
None of it is broken enough to get reported; it just quietly makes the whole build feel unfinished.
So here's my focus this week:
- Walk one account the way a client would, not the way I built it
- Every dead end gets fixed, removed, or labeled honestly
- Nothing that looks clickable stays unclickable
What are you building or cleaning up this week?

I want to see what the room's working on.
