Good Annotations

WOW! This felt like it came round really fast but here it is a launch on product hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/good-annotations

For this Milestone I built upon my MVP and feedback from the people using it. My feedback circle probably wasnt as big as I wanted it to be (I had 3 people trying it out) but it did get me focused on how those people where using it.

We ended up at #5 for the day!

I got to launch an MVP pretty quickly. I decided not to build everything from scratch so found helpful libraries that handled a lot of the complex logic. This allowed me to deploy a working prototype in 2 weeks even while working fulltime on my day to day job.

I was luck to have a couple of friends who already though the idea was good so instead of launching on something like product hunt i kept my feedback loop quite close initially. I'm not sure this was the right thing to do but i definitely got some good feedback to work on over the next few weeks

After speaking to a fellow indie hacker we had some conversations around how it would be awesome to be able to quickly create great looking screenshots for product article, content and how-to guides.

So the idea was born and I started doing some research and got the laptop out to start coding!
