Two more ideas today...
Argh! I just had two more great ideas this morning. Both would only take a couple weeks each to do, but the revenue potential on either wouldn’t be as high initially as the original six ideas.
Since both of these ideas would make for perfect open source projects, I wish I could just spend a few days on designs and jot down notes on the features and publish them. Maybe try to attract a handful of people looking to collaborate.
The problem is that I think taking a project public too early, with not a lot of meat on the bones yet is a bad idea. It can come off too much like vapor. I obviously believe there is value in talking about the process early on, but when is the right time to say what you intend to do?
That is a question I’m going to be asking myself a lot over the next few weeks.
We had this crazy idea, could we create 12 products in 12 months? We've built successful products in less than a month before, so maybe we could do it again... and again... and again. Well after crunching the numbers we realized that we wouldn't have any time to do client work too. So we are going to try and build six products over the next year, no investment, no big teams, just a handful of good guys with a half a dozen good ideas.
Having problems with your product? We can help you out with that, we've been building web products for over ten years. We can help steer your product to a more user centered track, help get your product back on the rails, or build it from scratch.
