What I learned spending $40k and one year launching Artyst.

Great article, thanks for sharing.
I'm currently trying to prevent feature creep! This couldn't have come at a better time

Nice, I find this point helpful: "Launched ASAP and begin iterating with real users". For the app i'm building, I'm trying to get just enough features for the app to be useful to people, and then try to get some users using it and iterating on it.

Also, FYI, I worked for a company called LANDR and they just launched a music artist networking kind of platform recently that you may want to check out for inspiration: https://network.landr.com/

Some thoughts on what I learned spending the past year launching a music networking app. Thought this might be useful to anyone exploring the idea of building an app for the first time.
