Devs want to code. Marketing feels like a foreign language.

"Build it and they will come" is a lie. You still have to do the hard workβ€”it's just different hard work.

The hardest thing ,for me, about building a product this time around is not jumping into everything build/engineering but focusing on biz stuff first like finding demand/market/customer

#3 is Crown Count 🍏 apps.apple.com/us/app/crown... android play.google.com/store/apps/d...

The app is live and has a small user base. This game is fun but scoring can get tedious. The purpose of the app is to make scoring easy.

#2 I recently shut down . The idea was to easily extract recipes from crowded/ad-ridden recipe websites. It worked well and I was happy with it however It was a crowded market and I never succeeded at finding any customers.

πŸ‘‹ Hi - I am creating this to embark on building in public. I have built and launched 3 sites/apps , 2 are still running and 1 was shutdown. These always are something I want to exist but I have failed to find users. Going to start backwards with number 4.
