Hey! Here are a few lessons and context I picked up over the last few months. To build something that people rely on you must: 1. Deeply understand the PROBLEM of what you're solving 2. Put yourself out there rather than slapping features and hoping for the best For some context: I got really frustrated wasting time copy pasting content between ChatGPT and Word/LaTeX files, finding job postings where I'd be a good fit, and actually tailoring my application for them. Other platforms did not work for me since they were either too expensive, looked horrible, didn't tailor well enough without consulting me. So I built [HiredUp.dev](http://hiredup.dev/) with a very simple agenda. \- Finds and ranks job postings across the best VC-backed companies \- Tailors my resume \- Gives VERY detailed AI reviews and suggestions \- Allows me to track every role from 'applied' to 'interviewed' to 'offered' I had a very clear plan on what the BARE minimal viable solution would look like, because I genuinely felt the pain and patience draining by wasting my time on other platforms. Since my peers and I were all seeking internships during that time, I simply built the tool and we all chipped in money for the AI costs. We all spent 2+ hours on it pretty much everyday and slowly a lot of our friends from our campus started using it too. In-fact, it went semi-viral on campus LOL and sometimes caught people I didn't know using it. My analytics showed about the same 10-15 people came back and used the app every single day so I decided to offer gift cards to a few and ask them for BRUTAL feedback. This probably was the best thing I did since it made the tool that was only personalized to me, highly adaptive to other users as well. After implementing their requests I just stopped writing code because it got really draining. I wanted to scale first to even see if there's a point on feature-slapping more and more because I complete. I went where I thought my users would be - subreddits, campus events, tiktok, etc. and just started offering general advice on how I landed my internships and I how I used my own app to get me there. This helped a ton on Tiktok! I made slideshow videos, just answering comment questions and repeated that until I hit 2k+ users.
