What was your 1st product?
Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far.
When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I’ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn’t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.
My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time. 😀
What was your first product?
What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?
What lesson did you learn from it?

In the past most of my contributions was in open source.
That's my first time trying to bootstrap a product.
I'm Building a tool for AI context synchronization and propagation between dev environments.
Conciliate: Unified context for smarter AI decisions. It's about synchronizing and propagating AI context across different development environments. Conciliate aims to build on top of Agents SDK or MCP deployment infrastructure.

My recent lesson learnt from it : Momentum beats everything. Keep moving even if it's small, don't settle.

@ivan_apedo I like how persistant you are :)
@busmark_w_nika Appreciate that 🙂
My first product was a simple Chrome extension that organized bookmarks into visual boards. I launched it just for fun, but seeing people actually use it was amazing.
If I were to do it again, I’d focus more on user feedback early and make onboarding smoother. The biggest lesson? Shipping fast beats perfect—real users teach you more than your assumptions ever will.
