Tell HN: I'm launching a product the “right” way
3 by tusharsoni | 1 comments on Hacker News.
At this point, I have launched many projects (some with the aim to make money and some just for fun). For all of these projects, I started coding first, completed the project, and then tried to figure out how to get users. Of course that never really worked. The interesting part is that I always knew the theory - to test the idea with prototypes or just talk to potential users first. But I always started with the coding. Well, here I am, after many failed launches, giving all of my energy to another product that I am truly excited for and passionate about. But this time, I will not code first. I have set up a landing page and I'm collecting emails to have the first set of users IF I decide to go forward with this. I hope I do. Of course, a lot of the credit goes to the HN community for really drilling this point in my head to not start with coding. Thanks, everyone! For the curious, here's the landing page - http://gettaurus.in/. Feel free to tear it apart!
