🧩 Prototyping, Asana, and "Once" Integrations

A roundup of perspectives, from scoping to Jason Fried’s Once model.

Hey friends 🌟,

It’s been a while! I hope you all had an eventful summer. I took a break here at Lunch Pail Labs and now I’m back with a roundup of new articles about third-party apps and integrations.

Let’s dive in:

• Why Your Project Scope Needs a Prototype: I’ve been experimenting with adding prototypes to the scoping process to reduce uncertainty and get builds off to a clear start. Read on to learn more about the rationale.
  

• The Software Leader’s Guide to Asana Integrations: Explore Asana's ecosystem and learn how to enhance it with custom apps and integrations.
  

• Building in Public for B2B: Some reflections on how building in public works for B2B products.
  

• A Beginner’s Guide to Deno: Deno, created by the founder of Node.js, offers built-in TypeScript support and enhanced security features. If you’ve ever built an Adalo component, they’ve recently switched from Bash to Deno. Learn more about Deno in this guide.
  

• Could "Once" be the Business Model for Integrations?: It’s been a year since Jason Fried introduced the Once manifesto. Shared some thoughts on how this model might apply to software add-ons and integrations.
  

And that’s it for now! How was your summer? Would love to hear about it!

Cheers,
Lola
