Tired of growing a startup I decided to build 5 MVPs in 10 days to prevent burnout. One of the MVPs is a simple task tracker that let's you measure time and focus on one task at a time. Any feedback appreciated. Keep in mind that it is a real minimum viable product, it took me less than 3 days to build it. You can use it for free here: https://tasktimer.launchable.studio

. Focus on Core Functionality: A dead-simple task timer emphasizes the essence of what users need: a straightforward tool to track their time effectively. By prioritizing core functionality, you've created a product that is easy to use and solves a real problem for users.

Hi Daniel, I think it is very smart from the advanced lead magnet perspective. You are giving people a real utility with a clean, simple design that they can start using in exchange for an email. A very direct value proposition. It's also great show, don't tell. The free product to showcase Launchable Studio capabilities. It's also bundling time tracker with Kanban cards, which I have never seen. Pretty cool. I hope you will continue developing it. It would be cool to see if the time tracker actually feeds into a task. So the user could see how much time they spend on each task. Cheers,

@getsharp_au Thanks for the feedback Murat! You're exactly right, that was my idea with these MVPs!
