Building a startup apps in Australia — lessons so far
Been building a small Australian startup on the side and I’ve realised how much you learn once you actually put something in people’s hands.
My biggest lesson so far: the idea you start with is rarely the product you end up building.
I’m building SnagMate, a hyperlocal community app, and the feedback from early users has completely changed the direction of the product.
Things I thought were important turned out not to matter much.
Things I almost overlooked ended up being some of the biggest problems to solve.
Now I’m going through another iteration and honestly enjoying the process a lot more.
For the Australian founders here — what’s one thing you learnt after launching that you wish you knew before starting?
