After listening to IH podcast (a few weeks ago) while cleaning stalls at my wife barn. I decided to sign up for IH and give it a shot.

1 - Posting on IH (maybe a little soon) before the MVP even started. but I wanted to get practice writing what the product was about.
2 - The product feedback from IH has been positive, and informative.
3 - Getting feedback from community on other challenges or hows has also been helpful . So post more is key takeaway!

Reached you @rosiesherry on twitter to make sure i was't crazy posting my ideas :). She assured me it was safe !

1 - reach out with specific questions. You never know what will happen.

2 - building connections and posting has been a very valuable way to get feedback and to help clarify my thought process on product.

Watched the memberstack how to video and within a few clicks connected to web flow and able to sign up members.

1 - Memberstack just works, it really does. Neat product, saved us a lot of time
2 - Don't overthink the sign up, i spent a lot of time thinking about gate vs non gated. and Decided to just keep it simple after running a few experiments

Purchased domain from google domain , actually a bunch of domain names.

Connected web flow account to google domain, and within mins was able to see site.

1 - Connecting web flow to google domains was easy
2 - Picking a name is not easy, spent some time on it, probably too much time.

Found a great remote design from web flow marketplace and within 2 weeks started and finished the design.

What I learned - that FIgma and web flow are powerful tools that accelerate the process.

Working with remote freelancers can be a challenge, but worth it. if you find the right person (good fit)

My son is a senior in HS, and wants to play basketball at next level (College). He has potential, but not a top recruit.

In order to get noticed you have to be a top recruit (no surprise), or get invited to camps, or be a social media unicorn.

We found tools online, but they are hard to use, outdated, not integrated, and expensive.

We decided to launch https://wwww.rekruoot to help everyone get recruited to play college sports -- socially.
