From 3 failed projects to 1,200 users in one week

That was a great read and congratulations on your lunch. I'd just like to share with you some feedback:

1. It's absolutely annoying that when I click the Chrome extension toolbar it auto-add the current page. I'd 100% positive that it would be better that it displayed a dropdown with 2 buttons: 1) VIEW your current shoplist. 2) Add the current page to the shoplist. I've intuitively clicked the button multiple times wanting to go to my shoplist only to realize that now I had 10 items in my shoplist that weren't even real products.

2. If might not work well for non-US or non-English websites. I'm in Germany. Example:

I've added this MacBook Pro: http://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_apple-macbook-pro-mit-touch-bar-und-deutscher-tastatur-2294165.html

And this Dell: http://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/dell-notebooks/inspiron-15-7577/spd/inspiron-15-7577-laptop/cn57702?VEN1=305950&dgc=af&dgseg=dhs&cid=242045&lid=62986&acd=2399242045629860&VEN3=413804293312194384

And this is how I shoplist looks like: https://i.imgur.com/Fzyqv5F.png

You see? It got the price wrong for the MacBook and couldn't get the price for the Dell at all. And I didn't have any feedback that the price from the Dell couldn't be determined.

Finally, I don't want to discourage you. Quite the opposite. I'm giving you feedback just as I liked when people tell me what is wrong with the producs I launch.

I honestly wish you the best. Don't settle. You got a great product! Good luck!

There is a lot to be learn from this.

Btw of all that entrepreneur overdose from different source, what is most practical thing you used while developing shopToList?

thanks for sharing this!

good post man. thanks!

so many people (myself included) do what you guys did in the early failures.

"There are boilerplates like this for almost every languages / frameworks, use them !"

Does anyone know something like this but for Go (golang)?

I'm with you on the entrepreneurship porn... There's so much out there. It ends up getting you to a place where you're in paralysis by analysis.

I've decided to limit myself to reading for an hour every day and IndieHackers. I listen to audiobooks and the IH podcasts in the car.

I already read it for about 3 times. Sounds inspiring!

It was a nice read. Congratulations :)

With ShopToList, the problem we want to solve is first for ourselves.We were really motivated because for the first time we were about to launch a product we would actually use everyday.

Sorry, but I don't get which problem you wanted to solve? And... do you really use some wishlist everyday?

One technical question - how do you track prices? Manually? I can't believe that you can automate tracking prices on every site.

Thanks and good luck!
