Today I made a screenshot of BuhalBu&#8217;s home page and saved it in the cloud for future generations. I felt a little bit of nostalgia while doing this.



A few months ago, I started the site with no clear direction, so I manifested it as a blog to share my thoughts on everything &#8220;JavaScript.&#8221; I knew there would be more than blogging, but I didn&#8217;t know yet what exactly.



Although coding apps was always in my plans&#8230;



Fast forward several funny weeks, and now I represent a humble startup.



It has a Great Mission and current goals&#8230;



It has written marketing strategy and &#8220;big time&#8221; promo ideas&#8230;



It has defined a business model and planned iterations for the next decade.



It has a badass new logo too and a fresh home copy.



So I&#8217;m happy now. Very happy. I can&#8217;t be sure where it will be five years from now, but it&#8217;s a hell of a journey. A journey full of new experiences, modern technologies, and big dreams.



And now I&#8217;m starting a whole new chapter&#8230;

Big Rebranding, Big Dreams

Yesterday I announced my new project, &#8220;BuhalBu&#8217;s Kit,&#8221; that I will build in public. 



This app will do many things to help the users secure and improve one of their most valuable assets &#8211; their website &#8211; so they can always have a technical advantage over their competition that doesn&#8217;t care or doesn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening.



The business results from its usage are better customer experience, free traffic, and peace of mind. Peace of mind that if anything bad happens with the network, the servers, or some other aspect of the infrastructure or the website, they will find out right away and take measures to fix it.



I&#8217;m not merely building a more affordable GTMetrix or Pingdom cloning.



But the three apps are comparable in some aspects.&nbsp;



If you are curious what&#8217;s the plan to launch the app, then you can take a look at these two books



<ol><li>The 7 Day Startup: You Don&#8217;t Learn Until You Launch https://www.amazon.com/100-Startup-Reinvent-Living-Create/dp/0307951529</li><li>The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living https://www.amazon.com/Day-Startup-Learn-Until-Launch-ebook/dp/B00NZFKB8S</li></ol>



I don&#8217;t follow their advice word by word, but they highly influence me.



In the short term, this is what I&#8217;m going to do:



<ul><li>Create a &#8220;Minimal Viable Product&#8221;</li><li>Refactor&nbsp;buhalbu.com&nbsp;to address the new reality that it&#8217;s not just a blog anymore but a startup.</li><li>Create a landing page for the app</li><li>Launch</li><li>Start hustle</li></ul>



Many people around me constantly ask me why I&#8217;m doing all this, given that I have the option to work something I love and be pretty well financially.&nbsp;



Well, it&#8217;s not about the money or the security.&nbsp;



It&#8217;s about freedom.&nbsp;&nbsp;



If I have good health and the economy is not that bad, there is always the option to find a job, but this here…



But this here… is a one-in-lifetime opportunity to win everything a regular job could give me, plus total freedom.&nbsp;



So the hustle is worth it.&nbsp;

The Big Picture: How I plan to build a successful app as a step to my total freedom

After several months of creating templates for sale, I&#8217;ve found out that I hardly enjoy the activity.



The coding part of the deal is cool.



Even the designing part of the deal is cool, although pretty hard for a non-pro designer.



But I don&#8217;t enjoy the thought that I must create, maintain, support and market dozens of them if I want my new business to become profitable. And I have to start almost from scratch with every new template.



I didn&#8217;t quit my 9-18 job to work 9-22 miserably, so I&#8217;ve decided to &#8220;pivot&#8221; in a new direction. It won&#8217;t be easier, but it definitely will be more rewarding.



If hundreds of devs can use one front-end template, many more users can use one successful app. It can be much more profitable with much less effort.



Making apps was always part of my plans.



But coming up with a good idea is hard, and I thought (naively) that selling templates is a &#8220;low hanging fruit&#8221; that I can depend on until I brainstorm something worthy.



It turns out it&#8217;s just a distraction (in my case).



The good news is I came up with many promising ideas.



The one I&#8217;m starting with is called &#8220;BuhalBu&#8217;s Kit,&#8221; and it&#8217;s like the services named GTMetrix and Pingdom, but it will be mostly free and/or ridiculously cheap compared to the established solutions.



Plus, it will offer several cool enhancements that will differentiate it even more from everything else on the market.



I will build it primarily for myself.



It&#8217;s something I could often use, so it will be a mini success even if it doesn&#8217;t sell well.



Otherwise, it will be helpful for bloggers, web admins, SEO specialists, and web developers. I haven&#8217;t decided which of them will be my primary customers yet.



BuhalBu&#8217;s Kit is a &#8220;build in public&#8221; project.



That means I will frequently share what I&#8217;m doing, how it&#8217;s going, and what the progress is.



To build in public is a trendy way to document your path and spread the word, so that&#8217;s another thing I&#8217;m excited about. As a blogger, I really like to experiment with new styles, topics, and writing stuff.



I plan to share many &#8220;behind the scene&#8221; details that will become more and more interesting as the project evolves, so stay tuned.
