Why: help people and groups seize opportunities that shape their life and environments. What: help people get a great job in tech, and help tech companies hire great people. How: Build a great tech interview platform

January 10, 2022 Relaunched as a mock interview platform

During the holiday break, I reworked the product as a mock interview platform - and it's live in 2022!

It's a great way to do mock tech interviews with each other, and you can give and receive mock interviews with one another!

If you are preparing for technical interviews (coding & system design), I built this product for you. Also, I am volunteering my time on the platform to help people prepare :)

October 5, 2021 Reached 46 Weekly Active Users

We set a goal to hit 60 weekly active users by Oct 30th and I'm happy to share that we have hit 46 weekly active users so far!

There's still more to do here but it's definitely an encouraging sign! We continue to engage more communities (including IndieHackers) and continue to grow our user base.

Forward and onward!

September 21, 2021 Top 10 on Product Hunt

HackerPen finished the launch day as a top 10 product of the day, with 101 votes! I'm excited about the milestone and there's more to do!

One takeaway: understanding customer needs and gaining a customer base is hard. And launching on PH is just the start of user acquisition.

I got a lot of views and feedback for the project. It's a confirmation that there're problems in this space, and I have a great starting project, and still a lot more progress yet to be made :)

Keep going forward :)

September 14, 2021 MVP is live

After 3 months of building a product for doing tech interviews, it's finally live yay! Looking back, I could have shipped earlier but wanted to get multiple pricing done.

Now I will intentionally put my business hat on - build communities around tech interviews, establish a product brand, and iterate on feedback. It's going to be exciting!!
I couldn't have done this with so many inspirations and learnings from this community 馃檹 Let's help each other build awesome products!

More updates to come 馃檪
Cheers,
Marshall
