Hi Product Hunt,
I built LaunchOrPay because I wanted to ship more - but never did.
This time, I'm launching less than 14 days after having the idea.
----
The most successful founders I've come across follow a similar pattern:
ā build a lean MVP that does 1 thing elegantly
ā launch fast
ā validate
ā improve/expand it based on user feedback
I was doing the opposite. 1 month would become 2, which would become 3.. and I'd only be getting further from having something "ready to launch".
The bigger my MVP got, the more time dragged on, the heavier I'd feel and the more frustrated as I watched others ship while I barely tread water.
----
I committed to launching this site before the 20th - and I know I never would have launched this soon if I hadn't made the small financial commitment to do so.
Why? There was no urgency - nobody telling me I needed to - no consequence if I didn't.
So much so that it felt unnatural to prepare the launch so soon.
But I'm really glad I'm actually following through on what I set out for his project to help me do!
----
100% of any money made through this site will go to charity - I don't want to profit off other people's failures. I'd rather make it a win-win.
The charity I chose means a lot to me - there's a letter about why on the landing page.
----
Thanks so much for checking this out - I really appreciate your time and support.
