One Weekend Hustle - Part 2
This article is about my one-weekend hustle. If you haven't already read Part 1, then I urge you to do so before reading the rest of this post.
Last night I created the following list of ideas:
- Email Collection Utility
- Automated Phone Call Creator(Twilio Backend)
- Crowdsourced Idea Validation - Put your money where your mouth is.
- Rolling Phone Call in Browser - Pay per call.
- Twilio Bot that calls someone and uses text-to-voice to send them a message on your behalf
- Temporary, secure, anonymous, and disposable Phone Number(like temp mail)
- Community Management Tool
- Gather a list of emails
- Send mass emails
- Respond to your users
- Draft new content
- See analytics
- Product Price Tracking Tool
- Landing Page Builder(like cared)
- Responsive Email Editor/Creator
- Blog with a lot of cool products I use w/ Affiliate Links
From there I narrowed down what I wanted to do by focusing on the idea of a responsive email editor. I put together a codesandbox using grape.js and react.. then after realizing that wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I played around with craft.js a bit as well. After about 2 hours of messing around with code, I realized I wouldn't be able to keep it up all weekend. I also noticed that 10 out of 11 of my ideas are code-based and I need to push myself into other territories. So I packed up the idea for another weekend and switched over to the Blog with a lot of cool products I use w/ Affiliate Links.
I've wanted to try ghost.org for a while. So I signed up for their Trial, bought the domain ifyoucatchmydrift.com, installed a theme, and moved forward.
My next step is to go through in my home and my order history to find items I feel are worthy to write about on the blog.

After doing everything above, I created a product page for ifyoucatchmydrift.com here in Indie Hackers. From this point forward, I will make my posts about this journey on that page.
