I'm building Liveweb (https://liveweb.space). It helps makers to go live on their website during their product hunt launch.
My biggest learning has been to keep a solid short-term and long-term targets that are measurable. Building anything new is already chaotic, without any proper target, it would create so much noise that I wouldn't know what was happening.

Currently Building https://www.collabclub.co/ a platform to barter/exchange time for the skills you need. Building with 7 others as a community project as part of the Wannabe Entrepreneur Community
Our Lesson is that it's challenging to build as a group of strangers!
Building https://thymer.com in public - an editor/IDE for tasks & planning.
The biggest lesson is rather meta: it's that _not_ building in public is really playing the startup game in hard mode. We've built our first product in the proverbial basement, never really sharing much about the process itself. It all worked out in the end, but it feels like everything goes much faster taking the public route. When we launched our first product, we didn't have any audience. We also launched on PH and managed to rank pretty well, but with 0 followers at the time, there is nobody to ask for feedback, nobody who will spread the word for you. Everything grew organically or through SEO, which worked for us but takes a long time. This time around we're sharing all our lessons and in return already have people following the project and giving feedback, which is a lot more fun too ;)
I am working on a Business Plan template in Notion that is shareable and interactive. All my building process is on a Twitter thread. What I learned was that even if the launching date can change, it is better to have a deadline public for people following the journey, mostly to not lose momentum.

I learned that hiring too many people in the beginning of the project without a good plan is the first step to burn all your savings.
Actually starting project without money is much better and safer (if you don’t have experience).
