Launched MVP

tldr; launched my MVP

What is ListenAddict: it's a place where you can subscribe to a person and get notifications for whenever they have a new talk. Right now, it's just interview-based podcasts, but I'll be adding other sources of talks too (like TED talks on YouTube, for example).

Longer version:

Ok, so this is a bit of a late post (January 6, 2021), but I launched my MVP for ListenAddict! https://www.listenaddict.com/

The MVP was long overdue, and I did NOT do it very intelligently.
It took about 5-6 months to get out the initial MVP, and that's because I was focusing on doing fun things for myself rather than getting out a true MVP:

  • Dark mode? Check
  • 12 different color themes the user can select from? Check
  • Keyboard shortcuts? Check
  • Super slick admin and moderator dashboards (just for me)? Check
    ...
    the list could go on and on.

Instead, the MVP should have been- basic search for people (names), basic list of talks, subscribe button, and the underlying algorithm to find the people within talks.

Of course, that's all done too, but I just had to add all this other stuff too. Oh well! I guess I should start marketing it now....
