Scope something embarrassingly small
- Clone a simple Dribbble shot or rebuild a landing section you like.
- Use public APIs or mock data—avoid backend complexity.
- Set a strict rule: max 2 pages, max 3 components.
Use templates shamelessly
Start from a UI kit or component library. Your goal is shipping, not inventing a design system.
Publish and request feedback
- Deploy to Vercel/Netlify; post the link to one community (Discord/Reddit/LinkedIn).
- Ask for one specific critique: “Does the hero explain value?”
- Write a 5-bullet reflection: what you cut, what you’d improve next time.
