When I launched my first startup in 2016 I did everything wrong. Frustrated I began to study how Indie makers and people who build with no-code actually launched successful businesses. Applying what I learned I was finally able to get traction while launching Get Stackd (former PH #1) and creating a database of 150+ no-code projects with The Lean Side Project, which combined has helped 3000+ folks building a digital business find the best no-code tools to start making something. They help by turning what is in your out into the and into a business. I specialize in helping folks figure out what are the best no-code tools to use for their idea and how to start small. Here to answer any and all questions about no-code (building digital products/services without coding).
I've had a wild ride of a career as an exec in large corporations and as a startup founder. I worked with celebrities in the alcohol industry and on $26 billion worth of M&A deals. Then I built multiple products (some of which are ) as part of my own startup journey. I ve won awards for my comedy writing and was named Product Hunt Maker of the Year in 2019 . Recently I pivoted my business from a document search tool to a product for IT teams to protect company documents from unauthorized access. Also, I like to meditate, burn sage, commune with nature, and collect crystals. I'll be here on 06/10 at 11 am pt to answer any and all questions about startups, pivots, product development, remote work, personal development, transitioning from corporate to startups, writing, the future, and me .

I had a super unconventional journey into tech startups. I worked on the product teams at various Fortune 500s for years before I discovered my love for building products myself. I spent countless hours browsing through Product Hunt but only as a lurker and occasionally commenting on others' work. Eventually, frustrated by my lack of action and inability to write code, I stepped up in 2018 (thanks to the book Atomic Habits) and decided to build tiny teeny projects with no-code. Shipped my 1st project Do Things That Don't Scale in 5 days that became the #1 Product Of The Day which gave me the impetus to continue building a portfolio of over 10 projects

We all have learning experiences from building our projects. Some of that could be helpful to new makers in the community, what are some of your top tips?
Hey everyone! I'm back from my pat leave and missed most of the July launches :( So was curious to know what are some products that caught your attention. Tag the makers and bonus points to those who point why the product is a fav! Thanks for replying
