Lessons I've learned while working on my startup as a developer
My background: I have 8 years of experience in the SF tech scene, working for both big and small companies. However, I found joy in working on side projects.
-
Your idea may not be as unique as you think, so don't keep it hidden! Talk to potential users before diving into development.
-
Avoid getting overwhelmed by features and bugs. Instead, focus on launching a minimum viable product (MVP) and iterate based on user feedback.
-
Engage with users and build trust. Hold off on fancy marketing tactics until you have gained traction.
-
Venture capital might not be suitable for beginners. Consider bootstrapping and growing organically initially.

My lesson: advertising is everything, and code is nothing. Until i didn't start to advertise my products before developing them, i didn't get any success.
Development is time-consuming, so easier to test the idea before developing.
Dope concept, need a lil more clarity, are you guys creating the demo once user upload their videos?
Your website looks so basic that I felt interested in scrolling down.
TBH I've seen dozens of landing pages with the same layout.
I understand to test your MVP you're doing this, but you can reshuffle the design a bit. Maybe try a dark theme.
