Shipped MVP

During the bulk of 2019 I spent about an hour a day, usually from 5am-6am, most weekday mornings working on ReadItNever.

I decided it was ok to take that long to learn how to build something from scratch and fully understand it from front to back.

I wanted to have the full experience of building a product, registering an LLC, setting up business banking, integrating with Stripe, and ultimately launching something.

It's been one heck of a journey and I now have a framework for future ideas as well, regardless of the success of ReadItNever.

    Congrats!

    In terms of launching, what are your plans? Social media (Twitter, specifically) was my first swing for my web application, but it's so far been a complete miss. Wondering what strategies others out there are trying.

      Thanks David! Right not just posting here and Product Hunt, which I've set no expectations for at this point. I've reached out to a few people to share my work as well.

      Pretty underwhelming strategy so far eh? I do plan on writing a post on my personal blog and also medium "How I Built a Business in a Year, Only One Hour Per Day" or something like that to try to get a little traffic.
