Building 42 apps in 42 w
Hey there!
Started 4 weeks ago on this mega productive challenge. So far going well! Hope I won't die in the coming weeks lol.
More seriously. Going this way gave me so much momentum! It's freed me from product pressure so I build apps that make much more sense! and from marketing pressure so it's just so much easier to talk about them.
I think prioritising for momentum is so fucking key! I read this post from Sam Altman couple of weeks ago and it was really useful. talks about the value of picking what to work on and prioritising momentum.
Last Saturday, I built and published an app in 1 day !! And so far of all the apps i made in the past 3 years, it's the one that gave the most utility. It's called https://dorseylist.com and it's actually a productivity app, it shoots you hourly notifications from a list you made to prime you to do more of certain behaviours. I've given up on disciplining myself toward good habits 😂

Good luck on your journey Victor :)
Don't forget to focus more time on the ones that seem promising, and to also quickly discard the ideas that are likely to lead nowhere.
It's better to have 1 success than 42 failures!
Thanks Hugo! I'll make sure to push those that work in the numbers
Great point!
Good luck Victor!
The challenge is really tough, but going public about it, constantly sharing the progress and getting feedback on your products may help a lot!
Also the types of projects you plan building matters too. I'd think that this should be some 1-2 s/m sized features wrapped.
From my perspective I'd also recommend looking into RaaS area, since this type of products look for sure possible to launch within a week
Good luck!
Wow thanks for the tip. Didn't even know RaaS existed until now!
haha, I learned about them recently too!
if you are interested, I made a post today about the reasons why they are underrated imho: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/this-product-niche-is-so-much-underrated-here-is-why-73900d6ae3
Very interesting post! Actually thought by RaaS you meant Recovery-as-a-service and so didn't get the speed argument lol
Thank you! To be honest the term isn't so widely spread + if you google it you'll see even wider usage 😅 personally I thought to call it 'list-based' services in the beginning, or smth like that
thanks!
