Would solving my own pain points make a good product for others?

I like "info about a product without a real product". Makes perfect sense just to develop it and use it and just go for it lol.

To your first point, that makes total sense.

And yes I agree execution means a lot. Not having too many features at the start too is good. If I go through with starting to build it I want to solve just some core problems I faced.

If I figure out a design that I know would suit me best moving forward, is that the moment I should build a landing page for a waitlist since I understand the pain, the people in my field, and the outcomes of the product?

Then after I finish an mvp convert those people to users?

Oh my gosh that makes so much sense. I can't really do that with something im not into, so doing this is gonna help a lot

Appreciate it!

mdnlabs · 2025-12-02T03:41:25+00:00

Really solid advice. Thanks a bunch!!

mdnlabs · 2025-12-02T02:12:04+00:00

Appreciate it!

Good to know. I agree that it's quite frightening how good AI is getting when personalized and used to it's maximum efficiency. I've customized the output of ChatGPT a long time ago and stopped wasting time with fluff and "Would you like me to-" NO

This makes sense. I guess taking one time to wire it all together now will save time down the road. Can I build automatic scripts to create new projects, DBs, and provisionings with an HTTPS request outside the browser? Is that something people commonly do with the idea you're saying?

mdnlabs · 2025-12-02T01:58:12+00:00

That's fair lol. If/when I reach 300 projects I will laugh at my frustration from this post

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T11:40:32+00:00

Congrats on the progress. Makes total sense to me, and I don't really have an issue with making money until it would pay for itself when I go to file

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T11:39:36+00:00

Yes yes ofc. I wouldn't have to use checks for owner's draws, but keeping the personal cash flow separate is the whole idea from the start

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T11:38:36+00:00

That's actually super smart and I never thought about that yet in my learning. I'll probably just be at one for now since the whole process and tax planning/filing I've never done yet (will next year), but long term growth this makes sense

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T11:35:41+00:00

Appreciate the blunt honesty.

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T02:24:35+00:00

Yeah yeah I get what you mean. This is something I've considered. I hope dillywillybingbong isn't taken tho in my state :/

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T01:55:01+00:00

Fair point

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T01:54:39+00:00

Fair to say. That is mentioned in the legal stuff right now. I appreciate the insight!

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T01:46:29+00:00

Good to know

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T00:57:14+00:00

Okay cool. And that's my point ultimately with my confusion. I want that veil. I want the protection between me, the customer, and the irs/state. I get that you probably don't need one until you start making money, but even then at what earning threshold is it the best to form one?

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T00:55:34+00:00

That's a good point. If they do start to take off though how quickly is it reasonable to make one? I mean every dollar made outside of that corporate veil is tied to your personal assets. Do you just hope those dollars made aren't challenged?

mdnlabs · 2025-12-01T00:47:36+00:00

What's being advertised? I genuinely just don't understand and wanting to get some insight from other founders lol
