Ask HN: Continue or Cut My Losses
I have been developing ommageo.com for a little over a year, with little to no traction. The beta is live at (ommageo.com) and with the help of a handful of HN posts/users and feedback from a few beta testers I have redesigned the web version here: http://solitaireinfosys.com/demo/will_brown_new/index.php
Now I am at the verge of creating a mobile version based on the redesigned web version, but I found myself asking should I just stop now? Not that I am quitting or giving up, but facing the reality that I may be building something people do not want: a location based video sharing app.
- strwbrry 13y agoHi, well done for starting something. Your biggest challenges without knowing you or your business idea as well as you do are: ………Who are my customers? ………What problem am I solving for them? ………What is the solution? ………Will they pay me for the solution? So what you should be doing is resolving those challenges. I would go lean and do the following Come up with a startup idea - you have done this Document your major assumptions/risks - I have done this above but you could tailor it a bit more for your idea Develop an interview script to test the assumption Find customers to interview Interview the customers Interpret your results, and Go back to Step 1
