The One-Woman Dev Team Diaries #231
Coding while on holiday, blocking users, email impersonation, and an internal roadmap sneak peek. 👀
Blocking Out Time And Users
I’ve managed to start carving out more time for dev work again and it feels so good! 🥹
I even managed to get a little bit of coding done while recently away with my brother and sister in Sardinia.




I’ve completed most of the Block Users feature, but I didn’t dare deploy anything. Nope, I know what happens when you do things like that. Things go wrong, that’s what! 😌☝️



Hopefully this goes live in the next day or so and works a treat. 🤞🏾
Well, there’s not much use for it now, but maybe once commenting on reviews comes out that’ll be a different matter. 😅
Have I Made It?
The scams have now started going up a level:


There’s nothing I can do about these, right?
It’s so frustrating because we have seen an uptick in people emailing in to check their legitimacy, which makes me worried for all the people who believe it is me and have responded. 😫
Roadmap Sneak Peek
I don’t have much more to say in this issue as I’ll be starting to sound like a broken record, so I’ll just leave you with a sneak peek at my internal roadmap:

I’ve already dedicated two more 4-week sprints to Community/Social than I wanted to, so wish me luck that I can finally close off this chapter come September 13th. 🤞🏾
What I’m Reading
I’ve had The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune on my To-Read Pile (and have owned a copy) for a long time now, so when I saw a user post about doing a buddy read for it on social media, I decided to jump in!

Have a great week,
