    Interesting article and I would love to do the same and get my girlfriend working on my side project with me (and also get her to learn marketing haha). Also it's cool to see he got his first users via Reddit, which is exactly what I'm building the aforementioned side project for 😄

      right? that’s why i told him that their relationship was inspiring to me, my gf’s a med student and she jokingly shuts off when I mention any jargon to her hahaha

      but i think though it’s awesome, communication will be key like Lukas mentioned

    Inspiring story! The best ideas do come up in unexpected places. Love how a relatively simple tool like this solves a problem for a lot of people :)

      Right? That's what's so interesting about Lukas' story, it's such a unique product, and a niche that no one's tapped into yet.

      Stagetimer's a testament to how not every idea has been taken yet.
