12 hours to launch — see you in the morning

Twelve hours from now, Nearplay goes live on Product Hunt.

A month ago I started building this. Six months ago it was a paragraph in Ready Player Two and a memory of pulling up to Sunday football matches with AC/DC blasting. Tomorrow at 8am UK time (= 00:01 PT) it goes out into the world properly.

I've been swinging between "this is the most exciting thing I've ever done" and "what was I thinking trying to launch as a first-time, non-technical founder" most of the week. I'm told that's normal.

If you've added a notify-me: thank you. Watching that number tick up has been quietly the most motivating thing of the past month and you'll all get an email the moment the listing goes live.

Nearplay - Your Arrival Soundtrack - Drop. Arrive. Vibe.

Your arrival soundtrack. The perfect track plays the moment you pull in — gym, pub, friend's drive. Use your Apple Music sub or songs you already own (a 99p/99c iTunes track works forever). Inspired by Ready Player Two.
