Envsight

Yesterday we launched Envsight on Hacker News and got to the front page! Overall it resulted in 6,000 pageviews and almost 100 new signups. Here are three lessons I learned:

Refine your website before launching. There were several typos and errors on my site that I could've fixed beforehand if I'd asked a few friends for their opinions.
Submit multiple times if you have to. This was my third time submitting attempt in two weeks. The first two didn't make it to the front page, but this one did.
Don't pay attention to the haters. There will always be some negative commenters. Ignore them, try not to take it personally, and focus on the positive.
I'm excited for what comes next!

Good vibes,
Thomas

I've read so many times that you should solve your own problem, and so last week I sat down to think about all the problems in my life. Charlie has been working on life-cycle assessments for a while. Looking at the carbon, water, waste footprint of large companies but there was nothing affordable (under 20k), and scalable in this space.

It turned out that I had quite a few problems worth solving, and the most interesting one led me to the idea for Envsight!

Good vibes,

Today one of my first trial customers for Envsight converted to paid. I noticed when I got the email from Stripe that said "Payment of $99.95". It felt amazing! Just 99 more of these and I'll be exactly where I want to be with my business.

Good vibes,
Thomas
