Discuss: Launch early like Airbnb, nobody will know 😉

I thought this was a nice reminder of the often long road to success 🤓(let's forget about Airbnb's pandemic-related implosion for a second).

One thing I'd like to add is that timeframes will often be elongated for plenty of us indiehackers! Some projects you can throw together in an evening, but most will take at least a few weeks or months.

If you're hustling in your evenings and weekends around your day job and/or family life, expect things to take twice as long and don't let people apply the same timeframes as they might to someone lucky enough to have more time available to them!

Anyway, in a nutshell: some product take a little longer than others, but take the shortest route to viability and once you have something, ship it.

Say something nice to blunicorn…

Launch early. Launch often.
This is a great video on how to do it by YC Startup School
