JustMandala

So, one month ago, I released JustMandal in Open beta.
It got amazing feedback, and even make it to the #3 product of the Day on ProductHunt!

I have created JustMandala without a specific goal in mind, I just found the idea "cool" and refreshing.

Today, the App has ~150 visitors/day. This is great, but I don't see how can I make a revenue from the audience. I don't want to add annoying ads or make it a freemium.

So, I wonder, should I make this App Open Source under MIT license?

New achievement unlocked! JustMandala is now officially the "#3 Product of the Day" on ProductHunt. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/justmandala

5 days ago, I shared this Web App on IndieHackers, you guys shared excellent feedbacks! So I decided to put the App on ProductHunt.

To be honest, it was a mess... first time submitting a product, without images or without really knowing what I was doing. I didn't expect too many upvotes.

Well... Yesterday the App was featured on ProductHunt! That was a real surprise, and being featured on the Top 10 was already amazing!

This is proof that 300 lines of JS code are enough to create a marvelous product. Don't overthink your product: "Improvise now, improve later"

I just submitted JustMandala into Product Hunt.
Well. I tried. I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't really know the Pros/Cons of submitting into PH for the first time, so I just add a video, the link, and some description. Meh, we'll see ¯\(ツ)/¯

So, I have launched JustMandala.com in Beta, cool! And now what?

I did not really put any goal on this project, I just found the idea "cool" and worth my time building it. It was challenging and fun at the same time.

But now, I probably need to think of a goal to reach:
I'm reaaaaally bad at networking/marketing stuff., I hate that Great, let's make it a goal!

Let's try to reach my first 1000 visitors/month, and let's try to improve my Twitter Followers at the same time! I think it would be a great first step, to see if I can grab some attention to JustMandala.com

Ajkln said (the man behind carrd.co + html5up.net + pixelarity.com): "Improvise now, optimize later."
So I tried to launch the product as early as possible, JustMandala.com is now available in Beta!

The whole project is written in Vanilla JS and is mobile & desktop compatible. Not that bad, for a Beta!

Some points need to be improved, and some features to be added:

• The smoothness of the lines
• I need to add a paint bucket tool

As a Junior Dev, I love my job. But I have to say that I spend way too much time thinking, and my brain is sometimes literally boiling.

As a Dev, you also need to be creative. First, because it maintains your logical way of thinking, and Second because it keeps away your stress level. (https://www.health.harvard.edu/mental-health/the-healing-power-of-art)

So, I thought that it would be a great idea to create a Web App to give your brain a 5 minute break: JustMandala was born!
