developing: launch

Hey there, thanks for joining this newsletter for what is, at the moment, an entirely ambiguous site. Hopefully, this first one explains it, at least a little bit. If not, well, there’ll be more.

This newsletter is a weekly update/devlog as I work through the ins and outs of developing swishbook, a product idea (and potential business?) that has been eating away at my brain for the past few months. I’ll be a little bit coy until I get closer to launching an honest-to-god pre-alpha product, but in the broadest sense, swishbook is a B2C platform that provides optimization-under-uncertainty strategies in the sports analytics space.

The core purpose of this newsletter is really to serve as a forcing function for me to keep the ball rolling. I tend work better with some external motivation and a deadline, so I’d like to get something in users’ hands before college football season kicks off this year.

I plan on writing weekly, on Fridays, about what I’ve gotten done and what’s on deck. I’ll catch y’all next week.
