I have two main reasons for working on Coolboard:

  • I could not find a shared whiteboard online that worked they way I wanted
  • I would like to learn how to go from idea to launch.
September 18, 2020 Started the user testing

Since June I've been working on Coolboard MVP, I am still far away from ready, but we started the user testing, thanks to my beautiful children :) I even made a photo of this glorious moment.

April 18, 2020 Completed the first version of the landing page.

I've spent several hours configuring and learning Wordpress and its plugins.

What I've learned?
I learned that Wordpress is crazy complicated and really hard to work with, and that I should have done some research before spending 300 dollars on a yearly subscription.
I also realized that copywriting is extremely hard...

March 25, 2020 Came up with the idea

Due to COVID-19 me and friends gathered on zoom. While we're talking about a technical issues we tried to use some online whiteboard. We tried multiple but none was good enough. So the idea came: why not to build one? After some thinking I came up with the name Coolboard and just started working on it.
