Finally released my Rails product

Announced it here : https://www.bootrails.com/blog/bootrails-released/

It took some weeks of work. But building the product is NOT the whole part of the job :

  • Copywriting is exceedingly important
  • Blogging is exceedingly important
  • Design is exceedingly important - or user won't feel any emotion about your product.
  • Marketing for such a tiny place is probably difficult - but that's now a great place where to learn marketing.

That being said build the product itself was a pleasant journey. I strongly any Rails freelancer to build its own default Rails starter.

I was surprise that Rails do not always choose the most simple direction. ActionText, SystemTest are way too complex, amongst other things - simpler possibilities exists.

Being an Indie Hacker is also very enjoyable. You start to notice what's important, and how coding is NOT the most important part - all parts are important, so as the developer, one mistake is to overthink and over-prioritize dev tasks.

Warm regards,
