Here is how building an app to solve my own problem did wonders for me
Hey folks,
Last year in August, I created Timely, a Slack app to solve my own problem of converting times to my own timezone when working with people in other timezones.
I posted about it on IH in August last year and tweeted with my personal account on Twitter(around 250 followers at the time). I never ended up doing any further marketing/launch posts and quickly moved on to my next side project.
It is now installed in 301 Slack workspaces including:
- Wikimedia
- Gojek
- HelixSleep — Tim Ferris podcast's sponsors
- Capterra
- PUBGStudio team of KRAFTONGAMES — the creators of PUBG
- beondeck — the amazing On Deck Community
- teams in IBM
Here is the complete story

It is amazing to see that something I built to solve my own problem is being used by so many people.

- rajat100493 5y agoThank you so much for posting this as a link here. I completely messed it up in the post
- wingerlang 5y agoThe twitter thread is a bit lackluster on this part specifically: > ..did wonders for me was it the attention? networking? potential for monetization or ..... ?
