πŸš€ Day 3 β€” Giving Lanorx a Face

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I’m Dchool β€” solo dev, indie hacker, and builder of Lanorx,

a tool that helps makers validate their ideas before they build.

Today marks Day 3 of my #50DaysTo1K challenge β€”

and this one was all about identity.

For the first time, Lanorx doesn’t just work β€”

it actually looks like a product. ⚑


πŸ’‘ What Changed Today

Until now, the main Lanorx domain just redirected to /create.

There was no proper landing page, no first impression β€” just pure functionality.

Today, that changed.

I built the main landing page and a header component,

making Lanorx feel like something real, not just a developer playground.

I also took time to refine parts of the design:

cleaner spacing, improved typography, and a layout that finally feels cohesive.

And beyond visuals, I started shaping the production-mode plan β€”

defining how Lanorx will evolve from MVP into a scalable product.


🧱 What I Built Today

🧩 Frontend

  • Built a new Header component for the landing page
  • Created the official Lanorx landing page (no more /create redirect πŸŽ‰)
  • Tweaked colors, layout, and spacing for a more polished look

βš™οΈ Planning & Specs

  • Defined production mode specifications
  • Outlined data flow, user interactions, and backend scaling strategy

It might sound small, but this step marks the transition from β€œjust working” β†’ β€œready to grow.”


🧭 What’s Next (Day 4 Plan)

Tomorrow’s focus:

Designing the production architecture and laying down the backend base.

Specifically:

  • Define internal API structure
  • Plan backend routes and Server Actions
  • Begin writing the core backend logic for production

Once this is in place, Lanorx will have a foundation that can handle real users β€” not just test data.


🧠 Reflection

Day 3 was quieter, but pivotal.

The product finally has a face β€” and a future.

It’s funny how adding a landing page changes your mindset.

Until now, Lanorx was code and logic.

Now it has an identity, a place where people can see it.

And finalizing the production spec made things feel serious.

This is no longer just a validation experiment β€”

it’s shaping up to be a real SaaS.

β€œDay 3 wasn’t about new features.

It was about definition β€” giving Lanorx a clear shape, both visually and structurally.”
