I had intended to submit project to Hackaday after working out some hardware kinks and finishing software. I wanted a functional minimum viable product before even creating the hackaday.io page. I expected to submit just before the deadline. This is my first Hackaday contest and wanted things to at least work before submitting.

Was listening to Hackaday podcast and Elliot mentioned he can't wait to see one of the submissions "start working". This reframed my mentality about project submissions- figured I'd try to get stuff in and get it working later.

I have almost no practice documenting my own projects and want to get better. Creating the .io page is a good start but I have cold feet before completely submitting (still want things to work). Will use .io page to practice documentation and project logging and plan to submit once I have updated with a minimum viable product- this is a step in the right direction. Updates pending soon (the clock is ticking!).
