→ 24 Hours challenge
I challenged myself this Saturday morning to build something very simple, minimal & useful from Start to Launch within 24 hours 💪
It sounded impossible in the beginning & I was too scared to share it publicly but followed my gut feeling & did it anyway.
The final result was because of some tech problem in production I failed to do it in exactly 24 hours but made something very good in just a few extra hours beyond it.
I realized that adding this time constraint helped me avoid feature creep, and add only the most useful features.
I could write hundreds of more features but the constraint of hours pushed me to strike out most of them and only picked the top 4-5 features I had in my list.
And choose to create a minimalist screenshot tool with very minimal options & interface.
In the past, I've spent countless hours building something that I never launched or got too bored to complete in the end. 🥲
I realized that i was in my comfort zone of writing code & not actually doing marketing or launching them.
This made me shameful in my own eyes.
To give myself a boost I thought to challenge my skills, and the weekend sounded perfect for it.
Here are my #buildinPublic tweets
Give it a try: https://pictweak.netlify.app/
PS: not yet mobile optimized. Feel free to suggest/report your feedback
Changed my plan a bit instead of launching this on PH, launched it in multiple subreddits, got some amazing reviews, and this cute award 🏆
Once some more features are added I'll launch on Product Hunt.
I'm building PRO version of PicTweak with some feature-packed options that will make screenshots shine in just 3-5 seconds.
So many screenshot editing tools are bloated with features & have recurring prices, but PicTweak will be a very affordable one-time price.
Based on feedback from users i listed some top-priority features to be released over the next 1-2 weeks.

PS: Please try the app & give your feedback. If any questions feel free to ask.
Awesome work @nikhil_WebFosters followed on twitter saw your other posts as well. really motivating for devs like me especially that ultimate POS crossing 2000 sales. U r genius would love to connect some day with u
Checking late, Thank you
Looks promising! If it was built in 24 hours, I couldn't imagine what you could turn it into in 24 days ;)
Checking late, Thank you Nijat :)
