I tracked every second from idea to launch and made some graphs

Back in January I decided to give this whole Indie Hacking thing a go and started researching, building and launching an employee feedback platform. I logged all my time into Toggl under 7 different categories, here's my data in a nice graph so you can see how my work evolved. This isn't neccessarily the "correct" way to do it, this is just how I did it.

Research

Researching the market, exisitng competitors, deciding what an MVP would look like.

Coding

I did it on a tech stack I was already familiar with so fairly smooth sailing.

Testing

Hounding my friends and family to user-test the product, also includes time fixing bugs that came out of this.

IT Ops & Admin

Setting up infrastructure, tracking, security, email, billing, the most boring part.

Content Creation

Creating marketing assets & copy, Writing blog posts, writing terms and conditions etc.

B2B Sales

Email marketing & cold calling.

Marketing

SEO, social media, community outreach
