All right. Today I’m excited to launch All right. Today I’m excited to launch All right. Today I’m excited to launch a new project. This is the biggest and a new project. This is the biggest and a new project. This is the biggest and kind of boldest project that I have done kind of boldest project that I have done kind of boldest project that I have done in my 25 week challenge. So I am now uh in my 25 week challenge. So I am now uh in my 25 week challenge. So I am now uh 2 months 8 weeks into my 25 weeks of 2 months 8 weeks into my 25 weeks of 2 months 8 weeks into my 25 weeks of shipping one project per week. I’m going shipping one project per week. I’m going shipping one project per week. I’m going to be really honest. to be really honest. to be really honest. This has been maybe I I maybe bit off This has been maybe I I maybe bit off This has been maybe I I maybe bit off more than I could chew on this one. Uh more than I could chew on this one. Uh more than I could chew on this one. Uh I’m really late. It’s still buggy as I’m really late. It’s still buggy as I’m really late. It’s still buggy as [  ] Um and it took frankly like 3 [  ] Um and it took frankly like 3 [  ] Um and it took frankly like 3 weeks of brutal grinding to get this weeks of brutal grinding to get this weeks of brutal grinding to get this even as done as it is now. So I’m going even as done as it is now. So I’m going even as done as it is now. So I’m going to walk you through it and I’m going to to walk you through it and I’m going to to walk you through it and I’m going to just explain why why what was my just explain why why what was my just explain why why what was my motivation, why I created it. And I just motivation, why I created it. And I just motivation, why I created it. And I just kind of wanted to uh quickly talk about kind of wanted to uh quickly talk about kind of wanted to uh quickly talk about how it’s going now that I’m two months how it’s going now that I’m two months how it’s going now that I’m two months into six months essentially. So here it into six months essentially. So here it into six months essentially. So here it is. It is called big Christmas tree. And is. It is called big Christmas tree. And is. It is called big Christmas tree. And yes, I managed to get that domain name yes, I managed to get that domain name yes, I managed to get that domain name bigtree.com. bigtree.com. bigtree.com. Quite proud of that. That I think that’s Quite proud of that. That I think that’s Quite proud of that. That I think that’s one of my better domain names. one of my better domain names. one of my better domain names. Uh so what the hell is big Christmas Uh so what the hell is big Christmas Uh so what the hell is big Christmas tree? This is a realtime interactive tree? This is a realtime interactive tree? This is a realtime interactive kind of experience slashexperiment kind of experience slashexperiment kind of experience slashexperiment for people all over the world to for people all over the world to for people all over the world to decorate a Christmas tree together. Uh decorate a Christmas tree together. Uh decorate a Christmas tree together. Uh it’s pretty pretty interesting. You have it’s pretty pretty interesting. You have it’s pretty pretty interesting. You have lights. So, first of all, you could turn lights. So, first of all, you could turn lights. So, first of all, you could turn off the snow. Uh this is the snow that’s off the snow. Uh this is the snow that’s off the snow. Uh this is the snow that’s accumulated since it’s been on. Uh you accumulated since it’s been on. Uh you accumulated since it’s been on. Uh you could you could add lights. So, you have could you could add lights. So, you have could you could add lights. So, you have somebody I see came and added a bunch of somebody I see came and added a bunch of somebody I see came and added a bunch of lights. That was not me. This is real. lights. That was not me. This is real. lights. That was not me. This is real. This is live. This is live. This is live. Uh so yeah, you can select a different Uh so yeah, you can select a different Uh so yeah, you can select a different kind of light. You could put a light. kind of light. You could put a light. kind of light. You could put a light. People seem to quite like the light. People seem to quite like the light. People seem to quite like the light. First and foremost, add an ornament. So First and foremost, add an ornament. So First and foremost, add an ornament. So what is the purpose of this? You you what is the purpose of this? You you what is the purpose of this? You you just like think of something and you add just like think of something and you add just like think of something and you add an ornament directly to the site. Let’s how does this work? Um, I won’t go Let’s how does this work? Um, I won’t go Let’s how does this work? Um, I won’t go into the technical details really heav into the technical details really heav into the technical details really heav he heavily, but uh this is real. So, two he heavily, but uh this is real. So, two he heavily, but uh this is real. So, two of these are me because well, I’m of these are me because well, I’m of these are me because well, I’m looking on two different uh browsers. looking on two different uh browsers. looking on two different uh browsers. So, you you make the ornament. Okay. All So, you you make the ornament. Okay. All So, you you make the ornament. Okay. All right. So, you you zoom in and you find right. So, you you zoom in and you find right. So, you you zoom in and you find a spot on the tree. a spot on the tree. a spot on the tree. You click you add it to the tree and in You click you add it to the tree and in You click you add it to the tree and in real time people see this. So, other real time people see this. So, other real time people see this. So, other people on their screen, they see the people on their screen, they see the people on their screen, they see the little present. They see someone just little present. They see someone just little present. They see someone just dropped a ornament and they can see your dropped a ornament and they can see your dropped a ornament and they can see your ornament you just dropped. So the idea ornament you just dropped. So the idea ornament you just dropped. So the idea is it’s supposed to look like it’s is it’s supposed to look like it’s is it’s supposed to look like it’s actually hanging on the tree. Um, and actually hanging on the tree. Um, and actually hanging on the tree. Um, and you could see if you notice it’s you could see if you notice it’s you could see if you notice it’s transparent. So why is it transparent? transparent. So why is it transparent? transparent. So why is it transparent? So I’ll just show you an example. I’ll So I’ll just show you an example. I’ll So I’ll just show you an example. I’ll get to the technical difficulties part get to the technical difficulties part get to the technical difficulties part which is very upsetting. Uh, that’s like which is very upsetting. Uh, that’s like which is very upsetting. Uh, that’s like one. This is one. So it actually like one. This is one. So it actually like one. This is one. So it actually like attempts to like programmatically attempts to like programmatically attempts to like programmatically put it in redo the that part of the tree put it in redo the that part of the tree put it in redo the that part of the tree with like AI. So how how the hell is with like AI. So how how the hell is with like AI. So how how the hell is this working? It uses uh banana nano. this working? It uses uh banana nano. this working? It uses uh banana nano. So it tries to build the composite in a So it tries to build the composite in a So it tries to build the composite in a really realistic way. So you can go and really realistic way. So you can go and really realistic way. So you can go and you can see the past trees. Let me just you can see the past trees. Let me just you can see the past trees. Let me just show you. This is a real tree that I show you. This is a real tree that I show you. This is a real tree that I just archived today. bunch of people just archived today. bunch of people just archived today. bunch of people came and actually added these. Uh, so came and actually added these. Uh, so came and actually added these. Uh, so like you you could be really zoomed out like you you could be really zoomed out like you you could be really zoomed out and then you could like zoom in and like and then you could like zoom in and like and then you could like zoom in and like see really really high def. Uh, I made see really really high def. Uh, I made see really really high def. Uh, I made these two. Quite like the Millennium these two. Quite like the Millennium these two. Quite like the Millennium Falcon. Somebody made this. Falcon. Somebody made this. Falcon. Somebody made this. Somebody made this one. These two. I Somebody made this one. These two. I Somebody made this one. These two. I like these a lot. Okay. So, what was the like these a lot. Okay. So, what was the like these a lot. Okay. So, what was the difficulty? So, first I I my goal was to difficulty? So, first I I my goal was to difficulty? So, first I I my goal was to launch this today and what happened the launch this today and what happened the launch this today and what happened the the host the the service I’m using to the host the the service I’m using to the host the the service I’m using to call Banana Nano for that last piece call Banana Nano for that last piece call Banana Nano for that last piece like basically went down and I haven’t like basically went down and I haven’t like basically went down and I haven’t been able to use it all morning. So, been able to use it all morning. So, been able to use it all morning. So, it’s called Replicate. Uh I put put a it’s called Replicate. Uh I put put a it’s called Replicate. Uh I put put a lot of money into it. It’s so it’s a lot of money into it. It’s so it’s a lot of money into it. It’s so it’s a little frustrating. So, what the hell is little frustrating. So, what the hell is little frustrating. So, what the hell is this? The holiday spirit meter. So, this? The holiday spirit meter. So, this? The holiday spirit meter. So, look, this thing cost a lot of money. look, this thing cost a lot of money. look, this thing cost a lot of money. It’s very expensive to add an ornament It’s very expensive to add an ornament It’s very expensive to add an ornament because it has to make multiple AI because it has to make multiple AI because it has to make multiple AI calls. It costs quite a bit of money. calls. It costs quite a bit of money. calls. It costs quite a bit of money. And so here’s what I did. It’s kind of And so here’s what I did. It’s kind of And so here’s what I did. It’s kind of like it’s kind of an e experiment. I put like it’s kind of an e experiment. I put like it’s kind of an e experiment. I put a bunch of money into the website and it a bunch of money into the website and it a bunch of money into the website and it tracks it kind of has like a ledger. tracks it kind of has like a ledger. tracks it kind of has like a ledger. It’s like, okay, we’re going to start It’s like, okay, we’re going to start It’s like, okay, we’re going to start with like x amount of money and then as with like x amount of money and then as with like x amount of money and then as people use it, it deducts it from the people use it, it deducts it from the people use it, it deducts it from the ledger. And so if this thing runs out of ledger. And so if this thing runs out of ledger. And so if this thing runs out of money, it it’s dead. There’s a screen money, it it’s dead. There’s a screen money, it it’s dead. There’s a screen that says, well, I I won’t spoil it, but that says, well, I I won’t spoil it, but that says, well, I I won’t spoil it, but there’s a screen that says like, “Hey, there’s a screen that says like, “Hey, there’s a screen that says like, “Hey, it’s out of money.” Somebody has to it’s out of money.” Somebody has to it’s out of money.” Somebody has to deposit money to keep it going or the deposit money to keep it going or the deposit money to keep it going or the experiment is dead for everybody. So, I experiment is dead for everybody. So, I experiment is dead for everybody. So, I did I did my part. I spent a lot of did I did my part. I spent a lot of did I did my part. I spent a lot of money on on building this on testing. Uh money on on building this on testing. Uh money on on building this on testing. Uh I put a lot of money into the tree. So, I put a lot of money into the tree. So, I put a lot of money into the tree. So, if people a lot of people come and use if people a lot of people come and use if people a lot of people come and use it, it’s going to get low. And once it it, it’s going to get low. And once it it, it’s going to get low. And once it gets critical, the site very loudly gets critical, the site very loudly gets critical, the site very loudly tells you. It’s kind of like a video tells you. It’s kind of like a video tells you. It’s kind of like a video game. Think of like a health meter. You game. Think of like a health meter. You game. Think of like a health meter. You know, like when you play a video game know, like when you play a video game know, like when you play a video game and you know, as you take hits, you’re and you know, as you take hits, you’re and you know, as you take hits, you’re about to die. And then at the end, it’s about to die. And then at the end, it’s about to die. And then at the end, it’s like warning, you’re about to die. Uh like warning, you’re about to die. Uh like warning, you’re about to die. Uh once it gets to like critical, it once it gets to like critical, it once it gets to like critical, it downgrades the model to like a really downgrades the model to like a really downgrades the model to like a really [  ] one to like really really really [  ] one to like really really really [  ] one to like really really really cheap where tons and tons of people can cheap where tons and tons of people can cheap where tons and tons of people can keep using it. Tries to stay alive, but keep using it. Tries to stay alive, but keep using it. Tries to stay alive, but then it dies. then it dies. then it dies. So, you have to So, you have to So, you have to you or somebody somebody’s going to have you or somebody somebody’s going to have you or somebody somebody’s going to have to pay and you could pay by making a to pay and you could pay by making a to pay and you could pay by making a donation donation donation to buy me a coffee. And when somebody to buy me a coffee. And when somebody to buy me a coffee. And when somebody clicks and they put in their email, they clicks and they put in their email, they clicks and they put in their email, they get to add much more ornaments every day get to add much more ornaments every day get to add much more ornaments every day than other people. And you keep the tree than other people. And you keep the tree than other people. And you keep the tree alive for everybody. So, uh you keep it alive for everybody. So, uh you keep it alive for everybody. So, uh you keep it lit. It’s called the holiday spirit lit. It’s called the holiday spirit lit. It’s called the holiday spirit meter. So, this is like an experiment meter. So, this is like an experiment meter. So, this is like an experiment slash slash slash experience. Um, quite a few people I did experience. Um, quite a few people I did experience. Um, quite a few people I did I did kind of a soft launch yesterday. I did kind of a soft launch yesterday. I did kind of a soft launch yesterday. Quite a few people came and actually Quite a few people came and actually Quite a few people came and actually really did ornaments which is pretty really did ornaments which is pretty really did ornaments which is pretty cool. Something failed like some someone cool. Something failed like some someone cool. Something failed like some someone there was a bug. I fixed it and there was a bug. I fixed it and there was a bug. I fixed it and somebody’s ornament disappeared there. I somebody’s ornament disappeared there. I somebody’s ornament disappeared there. I don’t know what the [  ] happened there. don’t know what the [  ] happened there. don’t know what the [  ] happened there. I got to figure that out. But like this I got to figure that out. But like this I got to figure that out. But like this is a real one. This is a real one. Bunch is a real one. This is a real one. Bunch is a real one. This is a real one. Bunch of people actually actually created of people actually actually created of people actually actually created stuff. It’s pretty cool. Bunch of people stuff. It’s pretty cool. Bunch of people stuff. It’s pretty cool. Bunch of people went crazy with the lights. There’s a went crazy with the lights. There’s a went crazy with the lights. There’s a bug here. I fixed that. So, I did a soft bug here. I fixed that. So, I did a soft bug here. I fixed that. So, I did a soft launch yesterday. Tons of little bugs. launch yesterday. Tons of little bugs. launch yesterday. Tons of little bugs. I’ve been fixing [  ] non-stop. I’ve been fixing [  ] non-stop. I’ve been fixing [  ] non-stop. Uh I did more work today, but then that Uh I did more work today, but then that Uh I did more work today, but then that the replicate went down and kind of it’s the replicate went down and kind of it’s the replicate went down and kind of it’s kind of making the functionality really kind of making the functionality really kind of making the functionality really janky. So, if you do donate, you you do janky. So, if you do donate, you you do janky. So, if you do donate, you you do get a uh a spot on the wall if you want. get a uh a spot on the wall if you want. get a uh a spot on the wall if you want. It’s optional. And I’m hoping this like It’s optional. And I’m hoping this like It’s optional. And I’m hoping this like goes kind of viral and I’m really hoping goes kind of viral and I’m really hoping goes kind of viral and I’m really hoping I could do a corporate sponsor. So I’m I could do a corporate sponsor. So I’m I could do a corporate sponsor. So I’m hoping somebody will want an ornament on hoping somebody will want an ornament on hoping somebody will want an ornament on the tree always of like their logo and the tree always of like their logo and the tree always of like their logo and they could pay for that. So that is an they could pay for that. So that is an they could pay for that. So that is an option. But I’m trying to launch this option. But I’m trying to launch this option. But I’m trying to launch this today, but there’s a lot of technical today, but there’s a lot of technical today, but there’s a lot of technical difficulties I have no control over. I I difficulties I have no control over. I I difficulties I have no control over. I I had a backup just for ease. I broke my had a backup just for ease. I broke my had a backup just for ease. I broke my rule just to have the money deposited in rule just to have the money deposited in rule just to have the money deposited in one place and to replicate. So, I I like one place and to replicate. So, I I like one place and to replicate. So, I I like just put a bunch of money like prepaid just put a bunch of money like prepaid just put a bunch of money like prepaid and then um it went down and now I can’t and then um it went down and now I can’t and then um it went down and now I can’t launch. So, it’s pretty frustrating. launch. So, it’s pretty frustrating. launch. So, it’s pretty frustrating. So, that is it. Please go try it out. Uh So, that is it. Please go try it out. Uh So, that is it. Please go try it out. Uh it’s really fun. I’ve made over 400 it’s really fun. I’ve made over 400 it’s really fun. I’ve made over 400 ornaments building and testing this ornaments building and testing this ornaments building and testing this thing. So, I have poured my heart and thing. So, I have poured my heart and thing. So, I have poured my heart and soul into this thing. I have worked 12 soul into this thing. I have worked 12 soul into this thing. I have worked 12 hours a day for three weeks straight to hours a day for three weeks straight to hours a day for three weeks straight to build this and get this launched. So, I build this and get this launched. So, I build this and get this launched. So, I am really tired. I’m really stressed. am really tired. I’m really stressed. am really tired. I’m really stressed. I’m really wanting this to be done. Uh I’m really wanting this to be done. Uh I’m really wanting this to be done. Uh so try it out. Give it a try. Uh the so try it out. Give it a try. Uh the so try it out. Give it a try. Uh the link is in the description. Let me know link is in the description. Let me know link is in the description. Let me know what you think. Like I said, I poured my what you think. Like I said, I poured my what you think. Like I said, I poured my heart and soul into this. Why did I heart and soul into this. Why did I heart and soul into this. Why did I build this? build this? build this? So I’ve wandered around the world a lot So I’ve wandered around the world a lot So I’ve wandered around the world a lot by myself. I’ve talked about this. And by myself. I’ve talked about this. And by myself. I’ve talked about this. And you know, I think it’s quite over you know, I think it’s quite over you know, I think it’s quite over romanticized this like lone wolf kind of romanticized this like lone wolf kind of romanticized this like lone wolf kind of travel to be completely blunt. I just as travel to be completely blunt. I just as travel to be completely blunt. I just as consequence I’ve had to spend Christmas consequence I’ve had to spend Christmas consequence I’ve had to spend Christmas completely alone. And I remember one completely alone.

I didn’t really have success meeting anybody. You really have success meeting anybody. You really have success meeting anybody. You know, you try you do your best to go out know, you try you do your best to go out know, you try you do your best to go out and and hopefully you can make a friend and and hopefully you can make a friend and and hopefully you can make a friend or it happens. Happens. But it didn’t or it happens. Happens. But it didn’t or it happens. Happens. But it didn’t happen this time. And I remember I was happen this time. And I remember I was happen this time. And I remember I was like, “It doesn’t feel like Christmas. like, “It doesn’t feel like Christmas. like, “It doesn’t feel like Christmas. This is great. I actually This is cool This is great. I actually This is cool This is great. I actually This is cool cuz I You don’t want it to feel like cuz I You don’t want it to feel like cuz I You don’t want it to feel like Christmas when you’re alone.” And I Christmas when you’re alone.” And I Christmas when you’re alone.” And I remember it was Christmas Eve and I and remember it was Christmas Eve and I and remember it was Christmas Eve and I and I went and saw all of this um uh I went and saw all of this um uh I went and saw all of this um uh Christmas art. You do like a little tour Christmas art. You do like a little tour Christmas art. You do like a little tour on the canals and they had all these uh on the canals and they had all these uh on the canals and they had all these uh art installations for Christmas. It was art installations for Christmas. It was art installations for Christmas. It was very nice. Didn’t quite vibe with very nice. Didn’t quite vibe with very nice. Didn’t quite vibe with anybody on the boat. And that was it. I anybody on the boat. And that was it. I anybody on the boat. And that was it. I walked around a lot. Uh, I went back to walked around a lot. Uh, I went back to walked around a lot. Uh, I went back to the hotel and I didn’t really care that the hotel and I didn’t really care that the hotel and I didn’t really care that it was Christmas until I got back to the it was Christmas until I got back to the it was Christmas until I got back to the hotel and I was completely alone and I hotel and I was completely alone and I hotel and I was completely alone and I start I felt really really sad. I was start I felt really really sad. I was start I felt really really sad. I was pretty lonely. I was I started feeling pretty lonely. I was I started feeling pretty lonely. I was I started feeling like really I I was like I kind of wish like really I I was like I kind of wish like really I I was like I kind of wish I went home this year. I was like really I went home this year. I was like really I went home this year. I was like really lonely and sad and because it’s just lonely and sad and because it’s just lonely and sad and because it’s just miserable to be by yourself on miserable to be by yourself on miserable to be by yourself on Christmas. And uh I know it sounds Christmas. And uh I know it sounds Christmas. And uh I know it sounds stupid but I I I really wished I had a stupid but I I I really wished I had a stupid but I I I really wished I had a Christmas tree. I was like, if I just Christmas tree. I was like, if I just Christmas tree. I was like, if I just had a Christmas tree and I had a little had a Christmas tree and I had a little had a Christmas tree and I had a little lights blinking and everything, it would lights blinking and everything, it would lights blinking and everything, it would just feel a little better. Like it just feel a little better. Like it just feel a little better. Like it wouldn’t just make my problems go away, wouldn’t just make my problems go away, wouldn’t just make my problems go away, but I would just feel maybe 10 20% but I would just feel maybe 10 20% but I would just feel maybe 10 20% better seeing the little Christmas tree. better seeing the little Christmas tree. better seeing the little Christmas tree. I love to have a real tree. It’s like I I love to have a real tree. It’s like I I love to have a real tree. It’s like I don’t like the fake ones. I like a real don’t like the fake ones. I like a real don’t like the fake ones. I like a real tree. And so I I was just thinking about tree. And so I I was just thinking about tree. And so I I was just thinking about it and then I was like, what if I built it and then I was like, what if I built it and then I was like, what if I built a tree that anyone in the world can come a tree that anyone in the world can come a tree that anyone in the world can come and enjoy? They could see the lights and enjoy? They could see the lights and enjoy? They could see the lights twinkle. People seem to be really liking twinkle. People seem to be really liking twinkle. People seem to be really liking the lights. Uh what if like, you know, the lights. Uh what if like, you know, the lights. Uh what if like, you know, you could go with other people. You’re you could go with other people. You’re you could go with other people. You’re not alone. Uh you know, someone’s on the not alone. Uh you know, someone’s on the not alone. Uh you know, someone’s on the tree right now. tree right now. tree right now. And then maybe it would be a little bit And then maybe it would be a little bit And then maybe it would be a little bit better for other people. So that’s why I better for other people. So that’s why I better for other people. So that’s why I built this. Um I thought it would be built this. Um I thought it would be built this. Um I thought it would be really cool experience to just decorate really cool experience to just decorate really cool experience to just decorate it with anything you want. It’s been a it with anything you want. It’s been a it with anything you want. It’s been a lot of fun for me at least doing it. lot of fun for me at least doing it. lot of fun for me at least doing it. Bunch of people have come and added like Bunch of people have come and added like Bunch of people have come and added like an ornament like like this is one an ornament like like this is one an ornament like like this is one somebody came earlier. This is a real somebody came earlier. This is a real somebody came earlier. This is a real one. I don’t even know what it says. Um one. I don’t even know what it says. Um one. I don’t even know what it says. Um I I would need to go look at the prompt. I I would need to go look at the prompt. I I would need to go look at the prompt. I do save people’s prompts, that’s all. I do save people’s prompts, that’s all. I do save people’s prompts, that’s all. But I there’s no log login. I don’t know But I there’s no log login. I don’t know But I there’s no log login. I don’t know who is who. I could just see like a user who is who. I could just see like a user who is who. I could just see like a user came and they typed this in and and I came and they typed this in and and I came and they typed this in and and I could see like the I could match the could see like the I could match the could see like the I could match the prompt to this, but there’s like no prompt to this, but there’s like no prompt to this, but there’s like no tracking. You don’t have to sign in. tracking. You don’t have to sign in. tracking. You don’t have to sign in. There’s no, you know, no signins, no There’s no, you know, no signins, no There’s no, you know, no signins, no emails, no popup to get your email. So emails, no popup to get your email. So emails, no popup to get your email. So that is uh that is why I built this. And that is uh that is why I built this. And that is uh that is why I built this. And I I just I hope like I could make people I I just I hope like I could make people I I just I hope like I could make people feel a little less lonely and like maybe feel a little less lonely and like maybe feel a little less lonely and like maybe you can’t afford a tree, maybe you don’t you can’t afford a tree, maybe you don’t you can’t afford a tree, maybe you don’t have a tree and you want one. Well, come have a tree and you want one. Well, come have a tree and you want one.
