    Amazing read Ben! Thanks for sharing.
    I've been aiming the same ever since the lockdown began.After 2.5 projects I've come to realization that:

    1. Ideating is hard.There are so many people building the same stuff-with slight variation, if so.Even if you had thought about something novel to build, there are already many similar-ish products/saas in market.
    2. Once I start building, I found myself easily going in the rabbit hole - iterating until perfection, which is never achieved :) Your approach of fast paced short sprints to check if the idea is hit of miss is really intriguing & I'd love to try it.How did you divided the chunk of tasks to get them done in a week - despite of your day job?
    3. I dont have a community to shout about my project yet.I think HN (and its reposts) need some luck of its own kind - which I am yet to receive.Even though I made on the PH homepage, the traffic soon died w/o any actual customers.It'd be great if you share how you build an audience around your Tiny Projects?

      1. I'm guessing for this point, the most important thing might be to create enough interesting content enough times in order to get that audience over time. I.e. quantity over time.
