Building The Daily Ship ⬇️

[Conor @Conor_Code]

The Daily Ship - Dashboard mockup.

Used Claude (Opus 4.6) to help me visualize the app.
HTML and CSS. Took about 30 minutes.

I have limited Figma experience so this was a quick alternative to get the layout right before coding.

What tools do you use for quick mockups?

@aryanlabde On a lot of things, side hustles, gym, study.
That second hour is where the most progress is.

[Conor @Conor_Code]

1 hour a day is maintenance pace.
2 hours a day is progress pace.

So you just finished building your web app.
Here's how you get people to actually see it.

3/ Launch platforms - make the most of your moment.

Your product page does the selling, not the product.

Product Hunt, Hacker News, BetaList, Indie Hackers, Peerlist, Uneed, Fazier. Pick 3-4 platforms that fit your audience and plan each launch properly.

A clear one-liner, clean visuals, a short demo video under 60 seconds, and a punchy tagline.

Timing matters. Product Hunt resets at 12:01am PST.
Launch then to get a full 24 hours on the leaderboard.

Tuesday to Thursday perform best. Avoid Mondays and weekends.

Try not to cold launch. Build a waitlist for a few weeks beforehand. Tell them exactly when and where. Your first hour of traction decides a lot.

Share the story behind the build. Why you made it, what problem you were solving, what you learned. People upvote humans, not products.

A good launch brings traffic for a week. A great product keeps it.

Don't burn out chasing #1.
Use the spike to gather feedback, emails, and early users.

2/ Reddit - solve, then plug

Find subreddits where your ideal users hangout.

Build up karma and post history before you promote. Fresh accounts dropping links get flagged. Engage for a few days to a week first.

Write posts that break down problems your product solves. Reply to others with value. Don't spam.

Follow the 9:1 rule. 9 helpful posts for every 1 that mentions your product. It keeps your account healthy and your reputation intact.

Find creative ways of teaching the reader something,
then plug your tool when it actually fits.

Save the posts that perform well. If a format worked once in r/SaaS, a tweaked version will probably work in r/Entrepreneur.

You can adapt content from your blog posts too. You don't have to come up with a new idea every time.

Pick a content format that works and make it your own.

@lukmanAufbau That's why fixing 1 problem really well beats fixing 10 problems kind of well
