I built this product for myself over the past two months and I think it's finally ready for other people to start testing.
I felt comfortable building it without validating first because as a freelance developer, I needed a portfolio project to show potential clients. Filter RSS seemed like a nice quick thing to build. So even if it never goes anywhere as a business, it will help me get work and show people what I can do as a developer.
After dog-fooding my own feed for a couple of weeks and working out some uptime bugs, I finally started telling people about the product to try and get some testers.
The plan now is to see if there's an audience for this beyond myself, and if so, what kind of features they would want and pay for. I've already had some good discussions that have led to some good premium feature ideas, but I need a bigger sample size before moving on any of them.
About
Being on Twitter and Facebook was making me unhappy, so I decided to quit them. It was a net positive emotionally, but I still felt like I was missing out on all the cool stuff my friends were sharing. Hence Filter RSS.
