Stuff that I learned from the video

1. Get into coding for fun

Start coding as a hobby and enjoy the process.

2. Do hackathons:

• Solve real problems: Address actual issues in the community.
• Ship a product fast: Launch quickly and gain market traction.
• Connect with the community: Network and meet people with similar interests.
• Use to come up with the idea:
  • Scratch from your own itch: Solve problems that you personally face.
  • Take your time to ideate: Brainstorm and refine your ideas.
  • Build a solution that you need: Create a product that you would use yourself.

3. Marketing ideas:

• Build in public: Share new updates and developments on Twitter with your audience.
• Use small video demos: Showcase the product in action and tease potential users.
• Focus on community and shareable feelings: Engage with your community and create shareable content.
• Antispam strategy: Implement transactional emails and newsletter content.
