Nudge — Beat Procrastination - The app that gets you unstuck.

I built Nudge because I couldn't find anything that actually helped me start tasks — not manage them, just START them. As someone with ADHD, I know that frozen feeling all too well. Nudge uses AI to meet you where you are emotionally, break tasks into micro-steps, and give you a gentle push when your brain won't cooperate. One person built this. No team, no funding — just lived experience.

Essentials for launching a product

There are a lot of products being hunted, launched, and competing for attention here.

But I still see some makers missing the very basics.

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?

  1. I've always been on the personal brand side. More and more founders are building it now (sometimes even before the product is ready while it's still in development, before seed fundraising). The CEO builds their position so the product sells more easily at the official launch.

  2. But I have experience with people who built the product, scaled it, and only then did we discover who was behind it.

Honestly, with the first approach, I'd be concerned that people invest more in me as a person than in the product. People would idealise the founder and overlook the product's flaws (which could hurt development and constructive feedback).

+ I noticed the most common mistake that many people who started building a personal brand first, connected their product to their personal accounts (emails, social media, etc.) and started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles.
