500 (pre-launch) subscribers in 5 weeks

The MVP Sprint is my public process of going from idea to MVP to paying users.

In the five weeks since launch, I've written five articles, each corresponding to a step in the sprint. I've found the process of building in public to be extremely rewarding personally - tons of people have messaged me from all around the world. And it's given me a sense of external pressure to produce on a weekly basis.

But it's also been a great way to generate demand for my product before writing any code.

My last two articles hit the front page of Hacker News, generating almost 40,000 article reads.

More importantly, I have 60+ waitlist signups through a vague Webflow site (HelloHailey.io) and typeform survey.

I've enjoyed talking to potential users and writing. But I'm really looking forward to start coding next week.
