Build In Public - Clean up and Pitch Decks
This week at SparkLaunch we prioritized software quality with a deep dive into error handling, testing, and documentation. We also leveled up our pitch deck generator with new templates and fonts for better customization.

Hey! This is John from SparkLaunch and I wanted to share a little of what we're up to this week.
It was definitely a clean up week spending time on error handling, state management, tests, and documentation. Testable requirements, exhaustive testing, and accurate documentation is incredibly important for software quality and I really can’t emphasize it enough.
On top of that, we’ve been adding a lot more to our pitch deck generator by making it a lot more usable and customizable with new templates, fonts, and settings to make it exactly how you want it.
Have a great rest of your weekend and let us know what you're building too!
