#24hrsstartup was an amazing event

I never went to a hackathon but this just felt like one even though I was just watching \U0001f440
Everyone did great but there were a few startups that I personally loved \U0001f496
Some of my favorites are in the thread below\U0001f447
Lots of variety: web, bots, extensions and even native apps
eg. @jordibruin with DrawRun

\U0001f3a8\U0001f3c3\u200d\u2640\ufe0f DrawRun just launched on Product Hunt! Idea to App Store to Product Hunt in 68 hours!\u2070\u2070https://t.co/mxnLZ8FRSu

Congrats Bruno for being the first #24hrstartup to monetization so far! (that I know of) https://t.co/pmTBXG0hbz
Here's what @hugo__df used to search for the maximum number of signups to be announced
Looks like 4 x 💯(400)
https://t.co/txT8Oio2zW
✍️ 400 people signed up
👩💻 167 people streamed
🛫 94 products launched
In other words
🙋♀️ 42% showed up (50+% no-show)
🚢 of those 56% shipped
🛤 overall 23% converted from signup -> ship
That's amazing!

We worked really hard behind the scenes to make no show rates as low as we could!

Doing something > What you call it

More from Makers
Controversial question. Does it matter if you are a user of your own product?
— Jon Yongfook (@yongfook) September 3, 2019
As an indie maker you have a huge advantage if you can genuinely dogfood your product. Don’t do what I did and try to make a product for teams if you’re just one person. That’s really, really dumb 🙃
Before searching for product-market fit, ask yourself if you have founder-product fit. It is a humbling question but one worth investing the time to answer truthfully.
In hindsight, I have low founder-product fit with Talkshow. It’s for teams but I’m solo. It’s a big broad idea but as an indie I should be focused on a niche.
Just braindumping 🤪 Again thanks to @tylertringas for the micro-saas content on his blog, it helped me navigate / articulate some thoughts I was having.
THE WINNERS OF THE 24 HOUR STARTUP CHALLENGE
Remember, this money is just fun. If you launched a product (or even attempted a launch) - you did something worth MUCH more than $1,000.
