now what? does the price for diamond will go up or the artificial created will keep the price down?


There's this upcoming trend of "building in public". Founder/Developer sharing their journey to their audience while trying to get traction. I agree that launching your product to an engaged and consolidated audience give a boost but I also think that depends on which type of product you are building. For sure you need at least to have an MVP to show to your users.


I started doing this [0]. I think a lot of times solo founders like myself get stuck in a vacuum. It feels so isolating and demotivating that just sharing my random thoughts (even though I know noone is reading them) actually helps. It makes me feel like I'm having someone to share them with. It also might help start building an audience that I can discuss the product with.

exactly!


Thanks :)


Hey HN! I’m Marco the creator of this project. It’s a social experiment, whoever pays the most get his name on the front-page!

You can link your website and get visit :)

You could see it like a milliondollarhomepage v2.0

For any feedback pleas leave a comment :)


P.S. the profits will be donated to a charity organization


If I can kindly suggest, pick the charity and put “all proceeds will go to ___” on the page. It might save you some headaches later. Best of luck!


Or allow a selection of charities as people will have different areas of interest.

Definitely put a note up, though. My first thought when seeing this was a vivid image of someone laughing all the way to the bank.


Yes I will definitely add this feature! thanks! I've tried to add more social proof possible ! even link my twitter profile. I don't want to be a scam!


Is the charity organization called "My Bank Account"? Also, what do you mean by "profits". What are the expenses? After reading about hollywood accounting, I'm always suspicious about "profit".


When exactly?

As far as I can tell this is a never-ending contest, so are you donating the proceeds to charity on a rolling basis as soon as you receive them?

And are you donating 100% to charity, or using a portion to pay for the website/server/bandwidth/development costs?


There should be a list of past people who paid on there.

Never mind, looks like there already is https://www.isricherthanyou.com/leaderboard
