Discussion on: What Is The One Website / App You Would Build If You Had All The Necessary Skills to Do It Yourself?

Make it and we'll pay you! Jeez that would help us save a lot of time. We're going to do a behind the scenes of our process soon and we pray someone will tear it down and make it more efficient for us to reach everyone. :D

Looking forward to your behind the scene of the publishing process.

I had previously gone through RealPython's publishing process, I hope it's not that extensive like them.

A lot of the time it's designing from one place (in a Figma template) and repurposing as slides, pins, DEV.to copy, tweets etc. It's not very refined but we're getting better.

We've actually just switched it up and are hoping to go hard for the next 7 days and report about it at the end.

The RealPython publishing process sounds interesting - could you give us a link to it?

Sadly I don't have the full overview of it but it's about 15 stages or more as I wasn't able to publish a article over there.

But it was a really great experience to go through a publishing pipeline

1) SEO Topic research
2) List of potential topic pool
3) Topic pitching
4) Article outline
5) 1st review
6) Actual Writing
7) 2nd review
8) Technical review
9) 3rd review
10) Sanity review
11) Final language review
12) Cover image creation
13) Cover image review
14) Publishing final review
15) Scheduling of article
16) Publishing of article

That is extreme! We are so much shorter in our processes - like unbelievably.

I think we are going to make a mega post in 7 days on how we produce so much content - and I think our process helps us achieve this.

That's really awesome looking forward to it. :)
