# Building in Public #0

Today marks day 0 of building in public. I am not sure where this journey will take me but I am here for the ride. However, this time I will do things a little different.

My latest awesome idea is a url shortener service. The idea came about as I read about Google [shutting down](https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/) their url shortener service and thus rendering millions of links as dead.

Step one today is seeing if there is **demand** for this sort of product. My suspicions are that there is but what does the customer really want?

Stay tuned for the next update.
