On: Ask HN: What is your new idea routine?

[niico]

Here's mine.

  1. Ding! "Woah, what a great idea..."
  2. Research. Spend the whole night up researching.
  3. Brainstorm. (On paper!!)
  4. Share with someone you trust or might be interested in working at the project. *Be careful here
  5. Start looking for a domain. (I find this part the hardest lol)
  6. Start sketching on paper. Logo and UI.
  7. Research again, this time for logo and UI inspiration.
  8. Design > xhtml > code > launch v1 ASAP!
  9. Get feedback.
  10. SEO
  11. Repeat 9 and 10.
  12. Repeat 12. 
  13. Improve > fix > launch more features.

Goood luck amigo! :)

I got stuck in an infinite loop at 12 and never made it to 13 :)

[catch404 → seancron]

I didn't make it past 11 :) i jott things down in my backpack account.. If it Has any potential to make money I'll run it past my dad and a few mates.

Heh, yeah. Add a 10.1 there then that says "Ignore future infinite loops" :)

There is something we all need to remember.

-Have a great time doing it.

It's one in a life time experience. Find good people to do it with and rock the hell out of your market :P

Cheers!
