Hello Indie Hackers 🤗,
My name is Karolina and the last month I have launched my first "baby".
I know that a lot of people here have huge experience, would be glad if you would like to share some with me and other Indie Hackers!
Lets begin with:
What would be the advice you wish someone have gave to you?
Come on! Don't keep it for yourself!
SHARE! 🍞

**"The energy you put into your start up at the beginning, is the energy that will follow you"**💃
Talk to users, talk to users, and talk to users. Also, talk to users. And last, but not least, talk to users.
Absolutely agree 😀
Agree! Very important one 😉
Success is a derivate of consistency
Smart one! Thank you!🎁
Don't dwell on a lot of things. Just go and do it.
True! 😌
I used to spend way too much time on adding “cool” features that no one needed. They take lots of time. Are difficult to remove. And bring in zero money.
Get your product in the face of customers as soon as possible so you can gather feedback and find out what they really need.
Very important for those who run after "perfect product"! 🤨
After you finish with features no one use them only you but that's not the point! 🥴
I wish someone had told me that you can build and launch your MVP out to market within a few days using no-code tools.
But assuming you've done market research and already have potential customers, right?
💁♀️Get your product as soon as possible on the market! 🎉 Thank you!
hahahaha, thanks ! You made my day! hahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We will fix it ! 🤠
When looking back, no project was a waste of your time as long as you learned something new from it that benefited you later.
You are right! We learn from "doing" not "sitting" 🧐
First of all I wish someone would have told us that our product doesn't need to be perfect before we launched it. Secondly, ask advice from people who have been doing a similar journey to you or are just a few steps ahead - this advice is probably more relevant to you and your business.
After getting technical advice from people who have launched BIG companies, we spent almost two years building our platform. We were really certain that no one would take us seriously or buy from us if our product wasn't perfect - turns out we could probably have built it no-code and saved 30k and a lot of time.
But hey, no regrets. We learnt a lot and now have a pretty great platform. 💁♀️😅
It wasnt a mistake! Cause you learnt from it! BRAVO 👏 Great advices @Emelie !
