I'm not averse to working hard to make my app reach 1,000 MRR.
There's a big difference between having an MVP done in 3 or 4 months vs. in a year when you're the only person designing, developing, marketing and supporting it. When I take too long to ship something, I get discouraged and bored of the project.
A better way to put it: I'm having trouble thinking of anything I could ship a v1 in 4 months.
Not complaining, just sharing my experience as I think other HNrs may be in a similar situation.
- sgdesign 13y agoWhy no do it and just ship whatever you have after 4 months?
- weddpros 13y agoI think you should look for a niche. They are everywhere. Select a professional, then find where their pain comes from, and offer a solution. Dentists? no shows are a problem for them. Same for hotels. Car repair? is it easy to find one close to you? Find someone you can have easy access to: you'll have to talk. Talk to your friends. Learn to HEAR when they tell you what's their pain.
- jf22 13y agoHave you done this before?
- weddpros 13y agoyes... kind of... I had another job, and used knowledge from that other job. And I still see many needs that are not fulfilled. I'm around 1000€ MRR now... The app was 100% free for one year, and 600 users signed up... 100 of them stayed (10€/m) when it became a paying service. 6 months later, it's not growing anymore :( I need to work more on that project!
