#24saaschallenge DONE

This was an amazing experience, was able to knock so many things off my list.

Here are my key takeaways:

- A bit disappointed I don't have a fully working MVP, but all that is technically left is deploying my postgres, I just don't want to risk running up costs

Deployed the frontend on Vercel!

Looming to get the backend up and running on AWS soon enough - wish me luck.

Also, went for a walk to work out of a cafe for a bit

Only 5 hours left for my #24hsaaschallenge

Only 20 hours left

Implement a lot of new features and adjustements.

Starting the styling and aesthetic, including landing page, and I'm TERRIBLE at design.

Wish me luck 🫡

CORRECTION : Wednesday @ 8pm EST - Thursday 8pm.
Inspired by other indie hackers #buildinginpublic, this Thursday, 8 p.m. EST, I will do my own #24hsaaschallenge!

Now that I have some free time, I’m going to fully dedicate myself to enhancing my app. I will post updates every hour, except during sleep.

Follow to see my progress!

Only 24 hours left until I start my #24hsaaschallenge

My goals:
- Implement a clean landing page with waitlist
- Connect database to cloud
- Finalize MVP functionality (Vue.js / Python)
- Figure out name & branding / register domain?

I can't wait to share my experience!

How do you know when to stop working on your MVP?
