Week Four Report
Week Five is almost here and I figured I should probably do a quick update summarizing the activity of both Week Three and Week Four, which has basically been mostly filled with client work.
I’m pretty swamped with billable at the moment, so product progress has been slow, but it is actually intentional. My plan is to front load billable and then by August or September take a break to focus on products full time, or close to it (It may happen sooner, but it all depends).
That being said over the last two weeks there have been very interesting events that could really change the direction of this experiment.
Plus I’ve had five new product ideas in the last two weeks! I think I have close to ten new product ideas in the last month, in addition to the original six. So I’ve decided that I will be using this site as more of a general product idea blog, keeping tabs of the products I am building as well as the ideas that I’m not pursing, well at least not yet.
I’ve learned that as I share product ideas publicly that feedback that it is changing my plan, for the better. Therefore I’m planning to take the wraps off of all six products here very soon (say in the next week or two) in order to start getting feedback from the public. Combined with sharing the ideas that I’m not planning to pursue, I figure that it is best to go with what people want, not just what I want to build.
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.
