As my Norwegian text skills get better, I’m increasingly annoyed that my acoustic conversational skills are not, but it’s because I still haven’t found a practice method or tool that suits me. So today I’m putting some more concrete thought into what I actually want.
This pipeline has come a long way since I first started it a week or two ago, and I’ll continue changing things, even after launch, but there’s not quite enough ready yet to go live. What follows is a list of my remaining “must have before launch” features .
In addition to having enough content to properly test each subsection of the nav and workflow, I also want to have old projects in place so fans won’t get the impression I’ve abandoned their favorite things.
