I am mostly a backend / dev ops engineer though so that's where I can develop new features and iterate relatively quickly.
Doing also front end is a bit out of my comfort zone (at least the iOS part, web is fine as I used to do a lot of Python and Django development back in the day before I switched to Golang).
Another thing I was considering was potentially using crowdfunding to raise some money and hire one or two freelancers to help move things along faster. Especially the mobile side as I feel having really good mobile apps is the key differentiator from competition.
- brudgers 10y agoMy observation is that successful crowdfunding tends to require a lot of effort. Design, literature, marketing are pretty much necessary even for projects with an established community. Or to put it another way, most of the successful crowd funding projects I see have spent a lot of money on professional expertise for promotion. Even important open-source projects with many users often struggle without it.
- richardknop 10y agoYou are right. I should not get ahead of myself. I will continue slowly bootstrapping my company for now with my own funds.
