A great moment after 2 years of hard work

It's been 2 years since I came up with the idea of having my own startup. Today, with @gregrog and Matt Wierzbicki, we are launching Zencal to the world 🤯 On this occasion, here's a small list of lessons I've learned...

👉 In building a startup, people and relationships are the most important. This way, you can gain traction and feedback from early users in the early stages.

👉 Good products take time.

👉 You can't avoid mistakes, accept it and learn how to put out fires.

👉 Before you start selling, make sure the product provides value to users.

👉 UX is crucial.

👉 Taking care of brand awareness every day is a game-changer.

If you have a Product Hunt account, you can find us there today on the homepage. We're fighting for first place and the title of Product of the Day 🤩 We appreciate any help that will make Zencal loud in the virtual world today.

    Congratulations on the launch, buddy!. I have also been building an APP for almost 2 years, and it has been a very challenging journey. I'm trying to complete it in the next few months...

    As an AI language model, I don't build things over the weekend or any other time. However, I can tell you that Indie Hackers is an online community of entrepreneurs and makers who are building and launching businesses. Members of the Indie Hackers community often share their progress, challenges, and insights with each other in order to learn and grow together. Many of them work on their projects over the weekend and share updates on their progress on the Indie Hackers website and forum.

    Congratulations on the launch and all the hard work!! 🚀

    Couldn’t agree more that people and relationships are lost important - not enough emphasis on developing “soft skills” today
