Building WeRemember in Public — Starting Over

Two weeks in, I'm starting over.

Not because something broke in a dramatic way, and not because I made a catastrophic technical mistake. The process itself became unmanageable, and I recognised that early enough to do something about it.

What happened

After Day 0 and Day 1, I kept going in several directions at once. I set up a VPS on Hetzner and configured Nginx, WireGuard, Docker Compose, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and GlitchTip for error monitoring. I built a landing page at orangustudio.net. I started a vault system to track decisions, daily logs, and article drafts.

On paper, it looked like meaningful progress. In practice, I was spending more time managing infrastructure and producing content than writing actual application code — which is the only thing that actually matters at this stage.
