2 weeks before the product launch. What am I doing in terms of preparation?
Not really much, and it annoys me a bit. In exactly 14 days (28. 1.) we will launch the product, and the only thing I do is talk about it.
But yes, there are points that I still want to master by then, e.g.:
Create an informational newsletter inviting people to follow our product page
Create a list of people who could support us and ask them for help
Announcements on social networks
Inform Kickstarter backers who supported us with updates this is also an audience
Publishing a Product Hunt badge on the landing page
Continually grow and maintain a personal brand which should be a long-term goal, not just for launch purposes.
π Any solo developers here? Would love to hear how youβre building
I built 80% of an invoicing app myself β then had to rebuild it properly
Hi everyone
I m Bela, founder of Invoice Guru. I didn t come from a tech background I started this as a tradesperson who was fed up with doing invoices late at night after physical workdays.
I taught myself everything from scratch and ended up building around 80% of the product on my own, before eventually handing it over to professional developers to help finish and harden it. At that point, I learned a tough but valuable lesson: big parts of it needed to be rewritten properly to scale.
All in, there s already 1,300+ hours of professional development in Invoice Guru and it still feels like the beginning. There s a long list of features planned, but I m very conscious about not overbuilding and focusing on what really matters first.
