I messaged 60 people to validate my idea... (The SaaS Challenge Week 3- Idea Validation Went Wrong)

Hey people:)

Sharing my insights for the third week of building a software as a solo developer

https://youtu.be/m5c5vWzlLDs

TL;DW

  • How to build useful apps
  • Messaged 60 people to get feedback on my hypothesis about my idea (hint: I did it wrong... but now I feel like I can message anyone:))
  • The 2 things I'm going to do every day from now on to make sure I don't waste time
  • Demo of what I built this week
  • What I'm planning to do next week (really excited about this one)

Let me know of any thoughts you have:)
