I created this tool to self-challenge myself this weekend within 24 hours, try it

tldr;
I challenged myself & build a minimal screenshot editing tool within 24 hours this weekend, you can try it here: https://pictweak.netlify.app/


What?

→ 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.

Why?

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

Launch Result?

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.

What's Next?

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.

    Looks promising! If it was built in 24 hours, I couldn't imagine what you could turn it into in 24 days ;)
