Val Town Prototype Showcase

I've written about Val Town (a few times before). But it doesn't seem I've ever mentioned that the prototype of Collxn was written as a val.

I'm a huge fan of the service for rapid ideation and prototyping. For a hackers-and-painters developer, it's really the best sense of idea-to-deploy freedom I'm aware of at the moment. ^[1]

Today, at some point between 12pm–1pm EDT, I’ll be showing off how the seed of Collxn came to be at the very first Val Town Hall event. Come check it out and get inspired to ship something fun today.

In no small part, it might be because Val Town is not myopically focused on UI tricks for no-coders. Backend is a first-class citizen. ↩︎
