1/ @rrhoover built V1 of @ProductHunt in 20 minutes.
The concept was simple: a community for product people.
Ryan logged into Linkydink, created a group, and invited a few startup friends.
He announced the project in a blog post and a tweet.
Boom

2/ @5harath came up with an idea for @shoutoutso_ on a Monday.
By Tuesday, he pitched the idea to @thisiskp_, one of Twitter’s top Belief Capitalists.
On Wednesday, he teamed up with @curtisjcummings, a no-code wizard.
The rest was history

3/ @rishi_tripathy_ + @schlaf = @FounderLibrary.
@NotionHQ is like Rishi’s second language, so it didn’t take long to get the idea into the world.
After a tweet from Schalf, Founder Library blew up, so they threw more resources at it.
Test it first

4/ @whit4th is pushing out projects faster than anyone I’ve seen the past few months.
At @badunicornvc, he’s deploying new apps every two weeks.
Not only is he building a massive email list, he’s patiently waiting for his first moonshot.
Go Whit
