Why Val Town

\n\t\t\t\t\t

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

Week 1–2 experiments

\n\t\t\t\t\t

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

Instrumentation

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis site logs page views + pill choices. Blue pill also triggers a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tserver-side automation.\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tView recent events (JSON)\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Behind the curtain

\n\t\t\t

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

\n\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Proof

\n\t\t\t\t

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