Original: 30 days, 6 projects, 1 with real users — my actual workflow

Short summary

After being laid off, the author shipped 6 AI projects in 30 days by enforcing a strict 8-hour constraint from idea to live launch. Success hinges on identifying your first 10 users upfront and building only the smallest working feature. Distribution matters more than polish: DEV Community, Indie Hackers, and technical forums beat general platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn.

  • •8-hour ship constraint (idea to deployed URL) kills bad projects early before sunk cost
  • •Identify first 10 users and their exact location before coding—subreddit, Discord, etc., not just a persona
  • •Ship the smallest working version; skip auth, polish, analytics, and marketing until post-launch

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
