Day 5 (parallel): Landing Page and Payment

While the app is stabilizing, spend two hours on the landing page. You need: - One headline that states the outcome, not the feature. "Your first draft in 10 minutes" not "AI-powered writing assistant". - Three bullet points of specifics. Not "saves time" — "go from brief to first draft in under 15 minutes". - Email capture before you set up payment. Use Resend + a simple Supabase insert, or Mailchimp embedded form. - Payment if you're charging. Stripe is the default: create a product, generate a payment link, drop it on the page. For Turkey-based businesses, iyzico handles local card processing. You do not need a custom checkout page for your MVP — a hosted payment link is fine. Do not build a pricing page with three tiers. Pick one price. You can add tiers after you have customers. ---

Day 6: Beta with Real Users

Ten users. Not ten friends who say "cool idea". Ten people who have the problem you described on Day 1. Where to find them: - The Reddit communities you researched on Day 1 — DM people who complained about the problem. - Discord servers for the target role. - Twitter replies to pain-point threads. Message template: "I saw your post about [pain]. I built something that might help — free to try, takes 5 minutes. Mind if I send you a link?" When they use it: watch, don't explain. If they get stuck, note where. Do not fix it during the session — fix it after you've seen at least three people hit the same wall. Track: where people drop off, what they ask for, what they ignore. After six users: you'll see a pattern. Fix the top two friction points only. Resist adding features. ---

Two channels, in this order: 1. Twitter/X thread — tell the story: the problem you found, what you built, who it's for, a screenshot or demo GIF, and the link. No hype. Specifics outperform adjectives every time. 2. Product Hunt — submit the morning of your launch (12:01 AM PT for maximum exposure). Write the tagline yourself — it's the same one-sentence job description from your spec. Ask your beta users to leave honest reviews, not generic upvotes. Don't wait for perfection. An MVP that's live and getting feedback is more valuable than a polished product nobody can access. ---
