Last week I was doing a lot of reflecting on my project and thinking about my previous post https://www.indiehackers.com/post/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-mix-in-another-ingredient-e7bab489be.
One thing this pandemic has taught me is when you are feeling tense going for a walk helps clear the mind and reset the body.
6 months ago I also got a dog for the first time. Unfortunately, for him he has to listen to my entrepreneurial ramblings during most of our walks. I usually feel better after our talks, but I think he's indifferent.
So last week during one of my ramblings, I pondered if using my existing project could I build and launch something using it in a weekend. I've learned putting constraints on yourself is the best way to get something done. So if I was going to do this, the idea had to be simple, really simple.
There's probably a saying out there along the lines of "From the smallest seed can grow a large tree". But what I learned from this past weekend, is even if your idea is small there is so much to do to build and launch in a weekend. But you also feel a huge accomplishment.
For if anyone is interested, what I built is a 24Hr Webhook https://24hourwebhook.com/
haha sweet! I can see people make use of it.
Thanks for that. That's the goal try and put something useful into the world!
I don't get it. Why would I post something to email it to myself?
This is intended to go along with the no code or low code movement. It perfect for the situation that you have temporary data. So it kinda like a temporary directory in the cloud.
Some use-cases would be:
Yesterday, we added the ability to purchase webhooks longer than 24 hours.
Email is just our first integration we are looking at adding support for google sheets so, for example you can setup a <form>, set the action to the webhook and it will automatically write that data to a google sheet.
Now I see, but you might want to add this explanation to the website. I know I'm a bit retarded, but there might be others who would like to pay you but don't get it from first sight.
Regarding Stripe, I thought about it, but then I thought that Stripe sends you an email anyway, so something like adding this to AirTable or Firebase or sending to IFTTT/Zapier would be much more valuable. Also, if you target the no-code crowd, they will probably need even more explanations than me. I suspect that not many people understand what a hook is.
Yes! You are 100% correct and we are already working on these exact things. From the feedback we've gotten there is definitely a big need for tools similar to IFTTT/Zapier and we think that we have a different take on this. Thanks for the feedback!
