Not giving up. 2.0 is live

I've Finally updated JustFitness.io.
Last year I launched and nothing happened.
No customers. No users outside of friends and family. Nada.

It was a humbling experience. The UX was terrible, the colors were bland, the price was way too high for what I was offering, and there were far too many bugs and inefficiencies to count. To top it all off; the application was completely unusable on iOS. Good grief.

I kept my head down and worked through the issues.
I just finished reading Start Small, Stay Small: A Developer's Guide to Launching a Startup By Rob Walling.

He mentioned the 3 components of a successful business.
Product.
Market.
Execution.

Well I've already built the product. I know I should have spoken to customers before writing the first line of code. But I cannot cry over spilled milk. At the end of the day I've built a workout tracking app that I am proud of.

Next steps:

  • Email my mailing list about the update.

Wish me luck. Thanks for reading.

    Congrats on pushing through. As someone else focused on the digital health/fitness/wellness market, it's great to see a like minded person.

    If it remains your passion, keep pressing, getting feedback and iterating. I've built a successful product in this space and am now working on another one, so it is possible!

      Thanks. 2 years strong. No burnout.

      I've set a modest goal of 4k MRR in 3 years. (End of my enlistment.)
