My first 4 projects failed. This one got users in days without any promotion
- Kamil_KKA 8mo agoThe biggest change wasn’t the idea, it was what I skipped. I was learning Next.js and didn’t know how to properly do auth, sessions, and accounts, so I left auth out entirely. The first version of Crush Analyzer had: - no accounts - no saved state - I had to do the backend work manully Users just pasted real chat conversations and got feedback. I wanted to see if people actually cared before automating anything. Only after repeat usage did I wire it up to APIs. What I learned: - low friction beats “proper” architecture early - people will tolerate rough edges if the value is clear - doing things manually taught me more than building features Next project I will do the same - focus 100% on the value bring to the user even if it is not real time and automating later when I seee traction. Happy to answer questions.
