Need a daily kick in the A$$?
Productivity has been hard for me to maintain recently. I get demoralized when stuff doesn't work out. I can only ask my gf about so many business ideas... etc.
I got tired of building alone and last week launched a bootcamp to bring people together to build stuff. Personally, I've loved it so far and I think the brave ones that joined.
I've been kicking around the idea of Accountability As A Service. Small products and services that help people be accountable and productive.
One experiment is the bootcamp, which is still accepting people!
Another is the idea of holding yourself accountable by getting a daily reminder.
I built it because I think there are a lot of people who would benefit from the bootcamp but will never join something like that. Another use case I thought of was after the bootcamp, people could continue outside of the group setting on their own.
Anyways, it's just a simple, free no-code app I built yesterday.

Does this have value? Personally I've really been enjoying building with other people and feel like that is where the magic is, but perhaps there are some lone wolfs who prefer to just do it themselves.
Well, writing "Done some design" doesn't mean accountability at all... to have a value the service should really check what's done. Maybe it could require providing a screenshot, or some other proof.

Dude, first of all, you lumped everything together.
Here, I'm talking about your idea of the service for accountability. And you asked if it has a value. Maybe it was not a question but just a claim, well, then I was wrong.
Anyway, I'm talking about this idea, not about your "30-days challenge" that I decided not to participate in.
Let me explain something. I have pretty extensive experience in participating in such events. Believe it or not, some of them were free, some paid! And even with paid ones, I watched the same picture: people gave up. They talked a lot about how valuable the challenge was bla bla but the fact was: they gave up and, therefore, they didn't get a piece of value from it whatever they told.
And what I'm trying to say here is "the idea is good (I think) but don't make the same mistake - don't leave people alone as you do and as many other organizers did". And please, don't rely only on the opinion of the people who told you how great it was, listen to others (if your goal is not only to have a good idea but to implement it well too).
Good luck. No worries, I'm not going to "bash" your ideas anymore.
Maybe you took that too personally. Sounded like useful feedback, if a little brash.
He was in the group with us, I gave him every opportunity to provide his feedback there and he didn't but as soon as I posed on IH he was the first to comment.
Haha, if you think I watch and track all your posts you are slightly wrong :))) I really don't understand why you feel sooooo offended.
And you never gave me the opportunity to provide feedback. I don't remember it. I just told you it's slightly not what I expected, then you immediately excluded me from the discussion group and that's it.
And again, here is the discussion NOT about your challenge.
