I don't know if this qualifies, but I started building distrosheet.com, I paused, and suddenly I've got some users. I guess my presale has been a blog post and maybe a few comments on HN talking about the software stack. To clarify, started building then paused means I did it one Saturday afternoon and never touched the code since then. :) I used to schedule some of my tweets automatically in a spreadsheet, my wife really wanted it for herself, another friend of hers wanted it, and so I made it slightly more generic: you sign up with google, create a spreadsheet, and connect your twitter account. Of course it was too primitive, so my wife and her friend aren't using it. However, from nothing, 1, then 2, then 3 twitter accounts started using it, and they are using it daily, mostly to send out quotes. So to the original point - I guess blogging about your idea like if you have the tool available to yourself, plus sharing it here & there may help getting some initial interest. |
