🎄Challenge - Launch a Start Up before Christmas 🎄21 December

Waking up early on a Saturday morning. Hoping to get many things done today and tomorrow! 💪

Here is who joined so far, you are doing great!

Let's get things done today too.

    I didn't officially join, but I had an internal goal of shipping our new update for https://monitoro.xyz before Christmas.

    ...drum rolls...

    We made it indeed, just a couple of hours ago, after weeks of continuous work.

    Why was this update so important? We just introduced tiered premium plans, and hopefully people will get to try that out over the holidays!

      Great tool! Congrats on shipping before the deadline then!

        Thanks @tropianhs! To avoid misleading you (relative to your other post), we launched the original MVP about 2 months ago.
        What we managed yesterday is to ship the first non-MVP version (basically polished around with some knowledge on the market), and more importantly it's the first version with plans that people can subscribe to.

        Thanks again!

    Well, my challenge to publish my first chrome extension is done!

    It's now live on the Chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/dqetail/2fa-security-reminder/febibgeklbeceggcacccdljlpfjhfjih

    Please disregard the garbled text in that URL, I blame Google.

    Let me know what you think :)

    Joining late today. So here it goes.

    Did some overhead work to get Hashr.io started:

    • Stripe account verified
    • Struggling with how to name the paid subscription plan
    • Finished database setup to count all hashes and give a nice analytical view on what hashing algorithms are used and how often they are used
    • Finalized database setup for paid accounts and hashing histories
    • Pledged all my profits up to $50 and 5% of all additional profits to charities
    • Finalized a stats page. Full transparency to our stats, our costs and future charity payments

    Getting some more work done later in the night.

    We were planning on doing a proper launch in mid Jan, but I like the rush this challenge brings and would love to join and try and do a soft launch before Christmas. We have our product ready for early release, but have been sprinting towards last mile features and polishing.

    Some important core features currently WIP are estimated to be finished by next week.. We want to see if we can get the critical ones done by christmas to be part of this post :)

    Our product: https://navigator.bytebeacon.com (a smart search bar for any website wanting to attract more super users)

    1. 1

      The product looks very very interesting!

      Good luck!

  5. 2

    I will try to launch something! Let's go!

    Made good progress through the week and still on track. Wrote a utility to extract prices from thread titles on Reddit using regex. Mocked up a very rudimentary UI using Bootstrap that lists products from a json file and let's you filter on category and price. Bought a domain and started a Flask server on Digital Ocean.

    Only big thing left to do is pull everything together on the server, so should have something to show this weekend!

    1. 1

      Nice progress! I really like your idea and I am going to follow your progress closely!

  7. 2

    I got sick in the past 2 days and didn't feel like sitting behind my computer. I'll have a go at it tonight. At the moment it's not a matter for me if I will finish but how many features will be shipped at first glance :D

    Haven't started yet with the landing page and Stripe Billing :(

    1. 2

      Ouch! Hope you are better now.

      It looked like you made huge progress, I trust you will ship lots of features by Christmas

    Yesterday I came back home late in the evening and managed to finish off some little things. Better than nothing.

    What I have done
    ✅ Finish user registration and login

    Plan for December 21
    🔳 Fix bugs and test registration and login system
    🔳 Build the view to create and save goals

    I should get both things done by today. Let's stay positive. I think I am pretty much on track to deploy the MVP by the end of the weekend.
