Day 1 of my #buildinpublic journey | Idea & Domain

From yesterday I've started my #buildinpublic journey and from there I've started to brainstorm some ideas which could become great products. While thinking about possible ideas I recalled about a Notion page that I had. So I went to the Notion document and started to read the ideas that I had written there. One that I found interesting was "Sleep or Pay", the idea is that the user would put a goal for themselves on what time they should go to sleep and if they don't then they will have to pay X amount.

The idea will help fix the problem of the user of not getting enough sleep. The reason why I think this might work is because when people pay for something then they have a reason to do something, so in order to save their money they will go to sleep before the set time.

The first thing I did as everyone does is to search for a domain name, luckily enough nobody took it and sleeporpay.com was available. Usually I just buy domains on Namecheap but this time I found it cheaper on GoDaddy and got the domain for only $1.63!

The first thing I did was create a coming soon page, didn't spend much time and just used a basic template on GoDaddy for now. The second step was to add my domain to Cloudflare so I could avail their features such as their email routing feature. Now that the nameservers have been changed the email team@sleeporpay.com is working.

Now that I have an email address, I can create social media accounts for the site and I couldn't have asked for more because the username sleeporpay was available on the majority of social media platforms.

Instagram: https://instagram.com/sleeporpay/

That's it for today, would love to get some feedback about the idea.

TL;DR bought a domain, coming soon page, set up Cloudflare and created account on Twitter and Instagram.
