Build and launch your startup in 30 days

flying_hacker 4y ago
Hey guys! I fly planes for a living, but I want to transition into being a full-time indie hacker. As you can imagine, procrastination, perfectionism and imposter syndrome are real! From chatting to people online I can see I'm not the only one. To combat this I'm going to build and launch a project every month for the foreseeable future to find out which one of my many ideas has traction with users. I have put together a community for anyone else who's struggling to push past their own barriers so you can launch your project in 30 days. If you think this might be helpful, feel free to check us out. Thanks for reading, Rich

  I've been programming for 20 years and as of now it takes me about three months to build a MVP solo. That's full time, binging on coffee, sleeping under my desk. There's always unforeseen things that creep up and create a total brick wall for you. Whether that is a library issue, a cryptic bug, an architecture problem, or unknown complexity. Probably all of the above. You will meet these challenges, and you will overcome them. Just not in 30 days. "Build half a product, not a half-ass product." –Getting Real

    Thanks for sharing your experience sir I probably should have clarified in the submission that it’s SaaS focussed and more specifically websites or web apps and I personally build no-code. Rich

      I don't know anything about no code. Maybe it will work for you. I remember how bad Dreamweaver was so I stay away. You can definitely do an ecommerce website rapidly. What successful software products have been built using no code?
