May 12, 2020 Got my first paying customer!

Well, its my wife!
But I got a few more as well :) I started off by sharing MicCheck page among my friends and family networks. I did get a lot of visitors but not as many buyer as I would hope for. But I did get reviews from a couple of buyers that it is working great for them! Not bad..

I have always wanted to try out Gumroad for launching a product. This time I decided to do it with MicCheck and it was an absolutely smooth journey! The product is live at https://gum.co/mic-check
Would love to see feedback on MicCheck from IndieHackers.

May 9, 2020 Coding starts

The weekend came up and my inner geek woke up to solve it. I don’t have many more friends to lose after all. Few nights in, and ‘Houston, we have a lot of other problems in life but not this one anymore!’

1…2…3 … mic check … MicCheck is in the house!

May 8, 2020 Idea!

I am an Aerospace Engineer turned self-taught developer & designer. While I am busy building a creative automation tool; this product is a direct result of several embarrassing situations I went through when I accidentally left my conference calls active and went on talking trash!

May 8, 2020 Why?

Due to COVID-19 situation, most of us are working from home - taking classes, attending meetings & webinars on various video conferencing apps.

It just so happened that I was browsing for some important information (no… seriously!) while a conference call was on. The meeting got over and I happily went about working on other things, discussing with my wife who is going to make dinner & who is going to do dishes (I know… right?).

Only an hour later, I realised that I never disconnected the call & my microphone was still listening. That whole day I kept wondering, who all may have heard & what all were the things I may have said (…behind their backs!). Nevertheless, now they all know what I feel about them. I may have lost a few friends (or made a deeper connection … Radical Candor … you see).

Well, this happened thrice in 2 weeks! (Yours is about to happen … just wait!)

    Hahaha, man, that's a crazy situation. Sorry for laughing, but that is funny and at the same time sad.

    Don't worry about losing friends. They weren't your real friends if they couldn't handle this or accept your opinion.
