Someone commented on our launch: "the gap between 'wrote it down' and 'actually did it' is where every note I've ever taken goes to die."

That's the whole reason Buddy exists. I have a graveyard of half-thoughts in my note app that never became anything.

So, genuinely curious: where do your notes go to die? Notion you never reopen? A Slack message to yourself? Sticky notes? Tell me your worst one

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?
