Congratulations. But there's one critical skill that lot of us here will not have.
Luck.
There's probably a dozen automation tools out there. There are dozen chat and dating apps as well.
Yet all the effort and attention is focused on becoming a lottery ticket.
- macintux 10y agoLuck plays a huge role in everything, but by all accounts this team created one of the best apps to grace the App Store. This wasn't a generic automation app.
- MBCook 10y agoAgreed. It may have been luck that they were successful at first (I honestly have no idea), but it seems very clear that they took whatever advantages they had and how to execute on them to continue to make a great product and keep improving it. By the time you get to today I think it's fair to say they earned their place. They're pretty far past where luck alone would take you.

- simplyluke 10y agoI know the guys who started this a few years ago at MHacks and I can tell you that their luck was several years of pure hard work and talent.
- techwizrd 10y agoI was at the same MHacks I think! My team won a smaller prize, but we didn't really do anything with the app afterward. It's pretty cool to see a hackathon project with a successful exit. This is very good marketing for hackathons in general.

- brilliantcode 10y agoDo you think hindsight contributes to that high success rate?
