Published on Product Hunt!

It's funny, every day after uploading to Product Hunt. I kept delaying the day to launch, to fix more any more stuff.

I keep falling into the trap of wanting more features and everything to be perfect, even though it's still far from it.

It may not have any traction yet, but it feels good to have finally say it's launched.

    Nice! Happy to see Telluride on the explainer video :)

      😉😉😉 I'm guessing it's your go-to resort?

        Sure is! I'm not from Telluride, but my parents bought some land there before it became well-known, and we've been going ever since.

          Your parents are smart! What an awesome place to have some land. So are you flying there from Mexico this winter? Pretty sure you're living my dream lifestyle

          1. 2

            Yep yep! Current lifestyle ain't too bad :)

    @krank3n It is all about taking that first step. ;) Congrats on publishing on Product Hunt!

      haha thanks, Bronson 👊, yea that first step is difficult! There is a lot of competition for ski resort websites out there. Maybe this has contributed to my nerves of publically posting it🤔 and getting to what I think is an MVP.

      Thanks for the optimistic vibe:)

        Even if you don't achieve what you're hoping for, it is still progress and 99% of the time there are lessons to be learned.

        1. 2

          oh.... the list of lessons has been endless 😂😂😂

    Well done on launching. Go for 90% perfect when you launch. There's no way to ever get to 100% (because "hey look at that border pixel right there on the bottom of the footer on that link, I should change that" is always going to happen) and 100% is always going to take a long time.

    Well done in the Hunt though, just upvoted your product. Great idea too, and fantastic execution.

      Wise words Frank! It's crazy difficult to tell when it's at 90% though... especially if you have been working on it solely. It's not until @anakravitz mentioned after I integrated a quick points system, she said, "I think it's ready for product hunt". great to get some third perspective on this.

      Thanks so much for upvote and being apart of the indie hacker community, you guys are the ones who inspired me to learn to code and build this!👊

        My 90% perfect is when I think it'll do what it needs to do, it doesn't make me cringe when I look at the design, and it still has some changes that would make it look better but they wouldn't be necessary to right now get the most out of it.

        1. 1

          That's awesome you are able to keep a clear focus on what's important. I think the issue for me is that this has taken me a long time to build, due to the learning process. So I think over an extended period of time, it's hard to keep the perspective of what's really important. This could also be due to the lacking of pre-planning.🤔
