Hey Sharath. I'm building https://install.download - here everyone can download the software. * The most important lesson for me is that the team is the most important thing.

I've been working on https://recadon.com/ , A platform where people or ONG's can create profiles to receive donations, You can see it like a Patreon but for Colombia. I've learnt more about SEO, Backend, Databases, Servers and launching. A little bit of everything

Hey folks. I am building CrowdPower (https://crowdpower.io) in public - a user engagement tool for SaaS products. You can follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/@scottinpublic One lesson I have learned is I've been able to get hundreds of people to buy a lifetime deal, but it is difficult to find the customers willing to pay monthly. I blame that on distribution. LTD platforms can get the word out to thousands of users for you quickly. As a result, I feel like it is possible to make more money selling a micro-SaaS that is easy to build and cheap to run as an LTD vs. going after MRR. I did end all my LTDs as I look to the next phase of growth, but I may dabble with a different product one day.

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.

https://www.indiehackers.com/pro... 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).

Hey folks, We are building a Saas based telemedicine platform https://www.telemedicine.io. The lesson learnt is that, UI is always a challenge. There is no end to it.
