    Getting close to the first release of the Space Explorer Kit

    I spent today working on the Space Explorer Kit, and it’s finally reaching the point where it feels like a real product.

    Not finished yet — but almost ready for its first digital printable release, which feels surreal considering this idea didn’t even exist around a week ago.

    At the moment, the kit sits at around 35 pages, covering:

    • themed badges
    • planet cards
    • scavenger hunt items
    • activity pages
    • the full layout template

    There are still a few instruction pages to add, some detail clean-up, and final polishing, but the core experience is already there. It’s starting to look like something a real kid (or an adult with a playful heart) would enjoy and that’s the best part.

    I also played around with AI mockups, and it’s honestly crazy how far these tools have come.

    Still not perfect, still needs post-editing, but compared to AI two years ago… it feels like we’re designing with a superpower.

    I wanted to wrap up it's listing this weekend, but priorities shifted a little.

    We received interest from our first potential partner for Temettü since releasing the new partnership page so the next few days will likely go into preparing, refining, and showing up for that opportunity.

    A small pause from this kit for now, but I’ll return to it soon.
