I think I remember seeing a comment on another HN post today about startups/cos. that the people who say they'd spend money and those who do can be an order of magnitude off. In any case, fortunately you do have a product now which is good (and looks nice too!) :)

Sorry I don't get it. Do you mean people spend huge amounts of money to promote the product? And thanks! Just wanted to make a minimum lovable product.

No, what I'd meant in that comment is that estimates can be very off despite trying to get the most accurate numbers. Unfortunately I don't have any practical experience so take whatever I saw with a grain of salt.

I might have had an option to "pre-book" with a small but significant (say $49) deposit for those who'd say they'd pay for it right when you ask them. - it can help push them to commit. I'd imagine spending more on (targeted) ads could also help thought it would ofc cost more too.

Don't worry, the product is pretty lovable. I'd definitely buy it if I had a job (still studying).
