| Well, I'm obviously pretty biased here because I made it, but I really enjoy using http://cueyoutube.com/ It was a "sunday night" project, and the first thing I've ever done where I thought I did just the right amount of work and no more. It hasn't, like, gone viral or anything but has a few likes and a few people using it - who knows maybe some more will use it. But it was a great feeling - to really get something useful made, throw it out there and see what happens without investing a whole lot in it. Another I made earlier this year was http://pickdropapp.com/ which was even less successful than cueyoutube :) I find that whipping up things like this and just releasing them is a great way of "staying in shape". Releasing software is like a habit and the more you do it, the easier it becomes. To deviate from my shameless self promotion, I would also like to add that I love the story of TKs http://toutapp.com/ - he's actually turned that into a real product now with thousands of users, but he got a lot of validation from his initial MVP release so that's a real success story. He's written about it quite a bit on his blog. |
