Just shipped Beta product. Time to move faster!
Quite the journey over the past few months for Claver, a project I have been working on to handle Digital Agreements in better way for small business / startup owners, as well as freelancers.
What turned from a shower thought - to a blog page - to a template repo page - and now a web application with actual services, it's quite the transformation.
It'd involved getting content / marketing / picking up coding / do the actual coding / back to marketing / talking to many people in a span of 3 months.
So while the product is shipped, the journey has just started. Right now, I want to plant this flag as a reminder to myself that shipping the beta has been a major goal since the beginning, but now is not the time to let up. It's important to continue moving even faster now. Momentum matters.
Time to do the real-world product validation with real people now.
If you are going on a similar path yourself, let me know! Always good to have an encouragement group going!
Good stuff, congrats on the beta launch! From someone who is past the beta launch: The feeling of momentum can turn out to be fake and based on imaginary hype built up in your head. Just be aware of that in case things will feel slow during customer development and don’t let it discourage you! If the momentum turns out to be real and you have profitable traction from day one - well done!
Thanks for the preview on what's ahead, @supermaxi31. Value your wise words & encouragement. :)
