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.

Working on https://wordsfromimage.com - asked a friend a quick feedback and ended up having to do a quite serious UI/UX restyle! great to have early feedbacks!

at Mafred (www.getmanfred.com) we are, indeed! our lesson: strong teams and cultures eat strategy at once!

Right now we are working with n Colorsandfonts.com and wickedbackgrounds.com We sold our SAAS a couple of weeks ago, so we are growing our side projects at www.apesoflondon.studio Lesson,... Make your saas look good already from the beginning.

Building https://browser.cool - start your browser in a different country to avoid restrictions, e.g. by your provider or hotel. From tech-side I am able to manage it. But I need to learn so much about marketing and finding users to make my product a financial success. Maybe I should have done it the other way around: No implementation, just providing a landing page with a "get notified when we launch" and then first focus on finding an audience.

Working on a tool to connect blogging and tweeting. It's called Blotter, and the first functionality — blog comments powered by Twitter — is launching in a couple of weeks! 😱 What I've learned: niche audience + specific pain point + marketing channel is way more important than tech stack.

I am working on Growth at Blinkstore.in and Letterflix.com. Also, focused on my Twitter growth. These, getting out to my comfort and beyond my capacities to help makers on the Internet with their product, marketing, and hiring.

I'm building a "done for you" personal budgeting web application powered by an API structured with curated unbiased data and logic to leverage proven spending and saving behaviors of a User's demographic peers. Target markets are the financially inexperienced, new graduates, or anyone who hates the standard solutions out there today. Lesson?: Building is hard, marketing is even harder.

I had to drop a project that looked like a sure win. There was a definite demand from the target audience. But when I started to interview a user from the most promising niche, it turned out they already have a tool built by the biggest player. Learned this only after I built the tool. Lesson: don't start building before you have a list of customers ready to pay you. Unless you are building something for fun, of course. So I'm planning my next project: a minimalistic landing page analytics tool for non-tech creators. Waiting for a VA to build the landing page for me. I'm *not* writing a single line of code this time before I have 100 leads and a few user interviews.

Hi, my team and I built Swayde, https://swayde.app. We actually launcher recently too. The main takeaway from the past year developing the product: Keep your teem engaged, give them a holistic view on all factors and functional areas of the project. Inform the technical people about user acquisition and feedback. Inform creative people on how much money we have left :). Make people understand that the areas they own are connected vessels.
