If you're new here, I'm André, a tech entrepreneur and founder of LaunchFast, a stack that helps web developers build in a weekend what it would take them 2 months. I post daily updates on my progress from 0€ to 10k€ by the end of 2024.
Alright, today was a balanced day ✌️😌
Here’s what got done today:
Improved image on Product Hunt’s teaser page
Went through the remaining 210 websites on my list and submitted LaunchFast to the ones that made sense
Tried making a new logo

My man Zaid has been helping me alot to improve my marketing. He recommended I add social proof to the teaser image 🤩 Check it out 🙌

This took a lot of work. Most of the websites are 💩. Tomorrow I’ll curate a list of websites for you guys 🙌
Tried making a new logo
My current logo got a 7-9/21 from Zaid’s review. So I want to do better. Here’s the new draft, SpaceX inspired 😄
Zaid gave me a new review - Fridays are review days by the way 💪😄
I got a 14, so I’m improving, but the logo still looks very amateurish.
I haven’t listened to the whole thing yet, but I’m eager to do better tomorrow 💪
Big wins for today
Regained balance ⚖️
Zaid reviewed my logo and landing page 🎉
Had a great call with my man Joshua Z 👊, who’s building MyForeverBooks
Tomorrow’s plan
On today’s call with Joshua, he told me I should focus almost entirely on marketing, but also fix a few easy things with the CLI. The CLI is the first contact my customers will have with my product and I’m obsessed with giving them a feeling of delight.
At the moment the feeling is of being impressed - developers are impressed by how fast they can get a full-blown, production-ready, batteries-included, app online with everything set - deployment infrastructure included. But it isn’t delightful yet.
I’m sitting on 9 test developer drives I’ve recorded full of golden nuggets of tips and recommendations for things I could do to improve the CLI experience. I’ll take action on that tomorrow.
So, long story short, tomorrow I will:
Curate a list of websites where people can submit their products and publish them on launchfast.pro
Take action on Zaid’s feedback and create a better landing page and logo
Extract insights from the 9 recorded test drives with devs and make a list of improvements
Implement the improvements on that list, one by one, for a delightful CLI experience
Record a video showing off LaunchFast (and posting it EVERYWHERE 😄)
Keep looking for people to help on 𝕏, because I love to
That’s it, folks. Tomorrow’s going to be a busy day 😅 Have a great weekend ♥️
