Launched my MVP built on Bubble
I'm happy to announce that I've recently launched the MVP for https://musicbeaver.app, a tool for musicians and songwriters to organize their music ideas. The inspiration for the idea came from a problem that I have on keeping my music ideas organized.
Since joining Indie Hackers in late August I had been thinking about ideas and how I could jump into building something. But I kept hitting a roadblock of trying to find the "perfect" idea.
In November I came across @mubashariqbal "One Hour SaaS" series. Watching his videos inspired me to set a goal and jump in. No more waiting for the perfect idea!
My primary goal was to build and launch a product by the end of 2020. So that I could gain the experience and prove to myself that I could do it. The secondary goal is to grow this product as a source of income.
I am not a developer, and so I committed to learning Bubble in order to build the product. I found the Udemy course and YouTube channel by @gregoryjohn to be an invaluable resource in helping me learn Bubble.
Next step for me is the marketing phase. I also have a long list of feature ideas that I'd like to build, but I'm going to wait to see how the product is received by it's initial users before I start adding more features.
If you have any questions about building on Bubble, let me know!
Hey Andrei, this is great, congratulations and all the best! I'm stuck in a similar loop - i have an idea that I should be quickly building and launching, but I keep spending time trying to perfect it. Also, I have highs and lows with alternating days of motivation and demotivation. Quick question - did you look at other platforms such as, Adalo and Glide as well, and then decide to go with Bubble? Thanks
Hey @manitjain - thanks very much! I actually did not consider/research other no code tools. I was already familiar with the Bubble brand, and from my perspective seemed to be the most robust no code product. I also like that is has a growing community, and a lot of tutorials/courses available for those just starting out. It's also been around since 2015 so the product is quite feature rich and supports many use cases. So ultimately I would recommend it! Good luck to you.
Well done man, respect!
I was planning to work on something similar. Just didn‘t find the time yet, as i would have developed it from the ground up. Seems pretty impressive what you can do with NoCode Apps.
Though what i have in mind needs some serious dev work. MusicBeaver looks like an awesome starting point though!
I will develop it to scratch my own itch + i see some serious potential there as well. I did „manage“ two artists. I never planned to, somehow i just ended up handling negotiations, strategy, marketing and business for them. I also work with friends who are songwriters and help them in the creative process. So if you want to have some exchange about your app, i would love to help where i can.
Just a warning: i probably will also work on something in that area this year - of course if your app turns out to be perfect for all the needs, i would rather help you out with some dev & strategy work (either way if you‘re interested, hit me up).
Anyways, looks really good so far. Will test it out! You should really be proud of yourself man! 💪
Cheers
That's awesome, thanks very much @x21! If you'd like to share any feedback once you start playing around with it you can reach me at [email protected]
Time to get some domain experts to demo! Good luck, Andrei.
@4_interiordesigners for sure, thanks!
@flipthatswitch this was so inspiring to read, congrats!
@bubbadink happy to hear it, thanks!
Congrats on the launch!
Trying to find the "perfect" idea, is what keeps so many people from starting out.
Best of luck!
@tkar thanks very much!
Congrats on your launch!
@mubashariqbal thanks very much, and thanks for the inspiration! :)
After building the app using bubble do we have to pay subscription fee to bubble?
Amazing and well done @flipthatswitch! Its amazing to see more and more doer mentalities like yourself. Congrats on your MVP! I would love to tap into your insights speak interview you for a no-code project I am building myself. Can you commit 30min of your time over the next couple of days?
