Day 2 #buildinginpublic for @makerpad #t30 challenge

Building @pheedbackco w/ @pabloheredia24

- 25 sign ups
- Added extra detail into Airtable
- Set up our free email account
- Tried & failed to set up a MailerLite account
- Started a Trello board to track our tasks

Thread👇

1/ Added three additional columns in Airtable.

I've redacted our email addresses, but the page collects Name + Email

We know most of our early users so for our records, we are enriching it with:
- Twitter Handles
- Whether they tweeted to be in priority list
- Time created

2/ Did you know that you don't actually need to pay for email hosting if you have a custom domain?

You can hook it up to Gmail using @ImprovMx for free.

I learned this trick recently from @chris__alarcon and have saved a lot!

3/ Tried to sign up for a @MailerLite account.

Got this email. I guess our landing page is too concise.

Have written back and hope they'll clear us soon!

4/ We have 25 sign ups!

Not bad for just being launched. This validates our idea.

There are some really talented makers on the list that are willing to help and we are truly blown away.

Thanks friends, you know who you are 😉

5/ We had a team meeting today and have created a list of tasks to complete.

It was @pabloheredia24's first time using Trello and he got his feet wet setting up our board.

I was pleasantly surprised by how fast he picked it up (and used the advanced functions!)

6/ There's a lot of stuff to do, so a divide + conquer strategy is needed.

We're going to write up user research questions (both of us have read and love The Mom Test) and start interviewing users soon to make sure we build with users in mind.

7/ Thanks for following our journey building with #nocode.

We hope to show that it's an affordable, efficient way to create things.

Thanks @makerpad #T30 for the opportunity.
