After several attempts at building and launching my own products, for my 24th birthday I decided I was going to launch something, finished or not, ...

We love these thoughts,

Is a scary one. That's how all this crap got made on the internet... facebook... twitter... instagram... etc - all "don't have a plan" - until the plan ALWAYS ends up being... "Well, people wont pay for it... so - let's just spy on them and murder them with advertisements." Maybe if people don't want to pay a single $ for it, it shouldn't be made? Just a question to toss out there.
Technically - you aren't paying for the music in your app - so, it's a slippery slope!
Lmao thank you for saying this. One of the realest comments I've seen on this website.
We did think we were real... but - it's hard to tell these days ; )
True. But this is not the kind of project that I see as a business opportunity. I have a full time job so I don't really need the money. For me it's just an opportunity to learn a lot about launching products and meeting and talking to people (like right now). Thank you for your comment!
We get it - that it's just fun - and it's cool! But - we're just offering another angle. : )
Looks neat, I like the minimalist look of it. Straight to the point. Maybe add some little icons or something next to the categories? Could look nice.
I noticed one "small" thing though that can backfire pretty hard which a lot of people forget when launching their website:
Please don't collect user data without letting them know. Add a little banner to your page with a reference to your cookie policy where you explain what data you collect. Otherwise, your data collection (google analytics in your case) is straight-up illegal whenever people from Europe connect to your site. Also, did you enable anynomizeIP() in google analytics? This is also a requirement as data cannot be personalized. I honestly couldn't care less about this but if there is a person who is all nitpicky about it they can easily report you
Thank you! I will also change to a privacy first analytics tool soon so I don’t have to show users the cookie notification. I will do the changes you said right now. Thanks for your comment 👍
Even if you use a different tool you still have to show a notification. Let me phrase it in pseudo-code:
if (dataCollection.enabled) displayCookieBanner()
You got 3 options:
I know it's annoying as hell to implement that over and over again but unfortunately, it's required.
This article is what I needed to see. I’m approaching 24 and feeling do or die about getting something out there.
Definitely worth it, it's great fun, but don't worry if you take a while making your ideas real due to life getting in the way :)
Signed the 29 year old who took around five years to finally get around to making his app and hopes the next one will be quicker (qrgopass.com/)
Do it dude. Find something you know you can make in a really short time and focus on finishing and getting people to use it. I have learned a ton.
I dig it. Could save me from wading through Spotify or Youtube in the morning. I'll bookmark and give ya some traffic.
I'm sure you are probably aware, but as it stands some users are unable to change stations without a refresh. The page also really hates ABP.
Yep I got some bugs localized but thanks for telling me, it's really helpful. Tomorrow after work I will get to it!
