Building NagMeLater

Spot #92,568

How forgetting things pushed me to build NagMeLater

I started NagMeLater.com because I kept dropping the ball on simple but important things. Birthdays, renewals, follow‑ups, health checkups. My calendar was full, my to‑do apps...

Key Takeaway

“Focus on one real, painful problem and solve it in the simplest possible way. NagMeLater works not because it’s fancy, but because it meets people where they already are – WhatsApp. You don’t always need a big launch or a complex product. You need something that people actually use when life gets messy.”

Building Focus Valley

Spot #73,600

How a distraction problem turned into Focus Valley

For months, I was spending most of my days at my laptop trying to build startups. The problem was that my phone was always next to me. Whenever I got bored or stuck, I'd pic...

Key Takeaway

“Focus Valley taught me to be much more flexible when building a product. I learned that launching with a waitlist can be a simple way to create anticipation before release, instead of waiting until everything is perfect. I also learned how important it is to make a product visually recognizable. Focus Valley isn't perfect, but its visual identity is different enough to stand out from the typical projects I see on X and other social platforms. Most importantly, I learned to value harsh feedback. Generic feedback is useful, but the feedback that actually hurts is often the most valuable. Those are the comments that reveal real problems, challenge your assumptions, and give you something concrete to improve. The key is not just to collect that feedback, but to actually put it into practice.”
