And now for something different
Everyone loves a good bait-and-switch from a beloved franchise, be it Indiana Jones, Dragon Age, or even Dauntless. Beyond the knee-jerk reaction to dislike change, what is wrong with this approach? Let's look at Dauntless specifically.
Everything all at once
There is a temptation when encountering a problem to describe and seek solutions that do everything all at once. More often than not, this leads to abandoning the problem rather than solving it.
Branding Update
Initial progress is always fast and follows the 80/20 rule. The demo works great on Desktop, but on mobile the Bootstrap of my base site collides with the template.
Import Templates
Have you ever wanted to auto-import a template to your website and just start editing? (I believe WordPress has had this for years, provided you buy a WordPress compatible template.)
Rushing to Fatigue
In the quest to completion, are you rushing to fatigue and failure? Is your process leading to greater slow-down and turnover rate?
Mobile Fonts and Development
Mobile and Desktop web development are converging but still not the same.
Sony's change in TOS debacle
People love a bait and switch almost as much as they love paying taxes; attempting to change your TOS after a sale is unethical at best.
Modular Design
Still early in development, Resalient is beginning the journey to turn hardcoded features into brandable features with modular design.
Barcode Scanner
One of the first pages I abandoned on this project was a Barcode scanner. After spending a few days with ChatGPT and exploring some dead projects, I found out most mobile browsers have a native JS class "BarcodeDetector." So, I have decided to add a new control to the project that will work with any text field in my project.
Location Approximation
In general, I do not enjoy trying to localize times to a customer. Microsoft Dynamics avoids solving this problem by asking the end user to set his own time zone preference (which can be helpful when a call center supports a specific time zone outside of the call center's location.) Resalient has not solved this either, but here is one way we can approximate this.

Leads
Does your small business software help you track incoming leads?
Charting
Every CRM needs charts, both to guide action and to let you know how the system is being used.
Harmony or Chaos
What would happen if every member of an orchestra played remote and was responsible for figuring out his or her own timing for when to join and which song was to be played?
Burning Money
Recruiter asks: What is the least you're willing to take?
IP Bans
Do you tire of seeing the same IP address trying to access your .git folder or other authentication systems? I'm flattered bots want to see how this project works, but I am adding an IP ban filter to the unique visitor table.
SEO Issues
SEO rules exist to help you build better sites and products; Resalient is continuing to improve to help its customers better interact with our product and content.
Happy New Year
The New Year is a great time to hit reset with your team, take stock of who you are and what you need to accomplish.

AI Images
A misplaced modifier in a description can change the entire meaning of an interpreted concept.
Maps
Does your small business solution help you map physical locations to tasks?
Productivity and Architecture
Do you ever feel like you're getting less than the best from a talented team and wonder what could help?
