Why Val Town

\n I like tools that make programming feel like play. Val Town is\n "ship in minutes" made real—and this role sits exactly\n where I work best: product + engineering + go-to-market.\n

\n\n

Week 1–2 experiments

\n Instrument "time-to-first-successful-val" and cohort by\n template / entry point.\n
\n Activation: template gallery around dev JTBDs (email, cron,\n webhook).\n
3–5 tutorials that end with "Remix this".
Light loops: shareable pages + onboarding nudges.

\n\n

Instrumentation

\n This site logs page views + pill choices. Blue pill also triggers a\n server-side automation.\n

\n \n View recent events (JSON)\n \n

\n \n );\n}\n\nfunction Blue() {\n return (\n \n \n ← back\n \n\n

Behind the curtain

\n Visiting this route triggers a server handler: it logs an event and\n optionally POSTs a webhook / sends an email.\n

\n\n

Proof

Route hit: /blue
Event logged to SQLite
Webhook/email attempted (if configured)
