Working towards launching my app. It's too early for meaningful data, growth trends, or any real signal on what's working, and I'm okay with that.
What I've noticed though is that the internet is full of milestone posts. First 100 users, $10k MRR, viral launches. And when you're pre-data, it's easy to accidentally use someone else's month 18 as your week 1 benchmark.
I'm not losing sleep over it, but it did get me thinking about how founders define meaningful progress before the numbers are there to tell the story.
My current approach is staying focused on qualitative signals are the right people finding it, are early users actually engaging, are conversations happening. But I'm curious what others have done:
Privacy has been a significant global concern for many years. A recent study by the University of Colorado Boulder revealed that the average smartphone user would invest an additional $5 for a standard application ('app') that refrains from monitoring their location, contact lists, and other personal data. With lifelogging devices such as Narrative reshaping this landscape, the prospect of individuals paying for their privacy shortly seems increasingly plausible. Could your company capitalize on this emerging trend?
