Starting a new side project and I am determined to do it right.

Just finished writing the features list and now I'm writing the documentation. Not written a single line of code not, nor even created a repository.

You've got to tell us what it is now.

I feel passion oozing out this rant

@sheeponmeth its so top secret that I've got it sitting above my desk drawer that's labelled Top Secret.

Super Top Secret

@beningreenjam don't leave us hanging. You're going to give us blueballs.

then get your project setup, build chain, etc. but write all your tests (well write down expected behavior under different conditions) before actually writing code.

and then sometime next year, you can start programming!

I'm just kidding, but it can seem that way some times. You're taking the smart route, it'll give you a nice result. Just don't go so hard that you burn yourself out before writing the code; lol, been there, done that.

and you might as well make a repo now even if you only have the documentation. Version control is nice to have for writing docs too.

it seems you want to keep your project secret for the time being.. since github now allows unlimited private repositories, get on that 😉

@sheeponmeth let's just say it's one of the many projects friends and family have come to me with over the years, but this one has stuck out and really got me excited with regards to the potential.

I've done the numbers and there's an abundance of potential, providing I don't fuck it up. So much potential that I'm not going to release the idea into public space just yet.

@rozzzly github charge for even one private repo. It's bitbucket that has unlimited private repos for free.

You seem passionate about this project and you are doing it right. Much success. Please keep us informed.

@Jumpshot44 I'm sure they'll be some rants about it in the near future, although hopefully minimal actual rant rants.

When the time is right I'll deploy a marketing website and share the link on here 😉

@beningreenjam woops. I had seen the headlines like this it's unlimited private repos for *paid* users, lol

@rozzzly no worries, I already have an account with bitbucket and will follow your advice of creating a repo and start versioning the docs.
