Currently working on my first startup (40-50 hours per week, along with a 9-5); One of the biggest takeaways Ive learned in the last 12 weeks is the importance of building an idea iteration framework. I made a conscience decision to develop an outline while building this product (from coding, to team development, communications, marketing etc) so that I can plug essentially any future idea into this framework quickly, and easily so I can have a "product" coded and ready for releae in about a month.
I dont have my notes with me but essentially, any current code can be modified to fit any new idea (login/billing/graphics/hosting/backups etc) with a few database table changes, any new code that needs to be written for a future idea will only pertain to the idea itself.
Any future ideas we may have, the only part I need to code up is the business logic to implement the idea, which depending on the complexity can be implemented in 3-6 weeks with little hassle. I would suggest getting a framework detailed out, keep good notes, and just plugin your ideas one by one.
