Firstly, I built the product in public by creating a thread of updates here and by telling my friends that I'm working on it. I got derailed from the project a few times but my people kept me motivated. Public accountability works. https://twitter.com/WeirdoWizard/status/1137321786339545089?s=20

A day before the launch, I messaged a few close friends saying that I'm launching tomorrow and would need their support. I also scheduled an email to the audience of Product Disrupt Newsletter (2.3k+). I scheduled the launch for 00:05 PST, set an alarm and went to sleep.

I reached out to those who've been featured on @ProductDisrupt asking them if they could take a look and share feedback if any. I'd no intention of generating any traction from this but just to let them know that their work has inspired me & helped me become a better designer.
