Build in Public — Learning Day

Not every day is about shipping. Some days are about understanding what you’re really building.

Today’s key lessons:

• Security is not a feature — it’s a foundation. Implementing rate limits and API protection makes you realize how fragile systems are without it.

• Local data isn’t reliability. Until data lives in a real database, your app isn’t truly “real.”

• Payments are more than a button. Sending a transaction is easy. Verifying it on-chain is where trust is built.

• Good UX is discovery. A simple global search can improve usability more than many UI tweaks.

These sound like small things, but real platforms are built on these layers.

Still building. Still learning. Building in public.
