Congrats! This looks amazing!

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you decide to commit to complex app like this? It must’ve taken a long time to build the MVP. Did you interview potential customers before hand or just went I with your gut or your own pain points? How did you know people will be willing to pay for this, considering there are a lot of similar tools out there?



I made a lot of rookie mistakes and I am ok with that. It was purely a gut feeling.

I am genuinely interested in video. I have been fascinated by it since a kid. So I knew I wanted to solve this problem.

I also love design tools and a good challenge. So I went against the grain and followed my gut. It brought a lot of pain and useful learnings. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Next time I will know what not to do. Always talk to the market and implement the MOM test. Do follow your gut but do mix that with conversations.


Are you me? This exactly describes my current experience.

You should write more about this!
