I’ve been shipping a lot lately. Here’s what’s actually made it out of the basement:
• Stark : a platform for Ethiopian developers to build, discover and compete → 6,240+ lifetime users, 140+ daily active users
• Voxide : voice control for any web app with a single prompt → 200+ developers, 2,433 sessions in the last 7 days, 348 tool calls
• Sceneline : a game where you guess movies from iconic scenes and quotes → 500+ players, 2,000+ visitors
• GoatRank : a fun little project for ranking the GOATs
• Stark Official Hackathon : built and ran a developer hackathon with 700+ participants
And there are a lot more sitting in the graveyard 😭
Most of these started as “this would be cool” ideas.
Some worked. Some didn’t. Some are still evolving.
But I’m starting to really believe in one thing:
You learn way more from shipping than from planning.
