While putting Lemons together I’ve learned a lot and even though the app is for fun instead of saving the world, these new skills are seriously useful.
This is an important point: why not make it fun to acquire the skills to be competitive? You don’t need to build an accounting app or boring clock to learn code. Just build something! Whatever motivates you to get started and learn it is a good thing.
When I feel like I should do something more “serious” than Lemons I think of Yo. That’s literally all it does…it sends your friends a message that says “Yo.” It has a lot of downloads. This quote from one of the founders of Yo featured in the Venture Beat article “Six unbelievable quotes about Yo, the stupid app that raised $1.2M” resonates:
At first, Hogeg was too embarrassed to publish it under his own name. “At Mobli, we make serious technology,” he says. “I didn’t let him publish it under our names.”
Luckily that didn’t hold them back from launching! Yo got over a million downloads in 4 days.
You’re not the only one thinking it
If your spouse is expectant or may perhaps turn out to viagra cialis for sale dig this be expectant. The system had no escape from the BSOD error during the cheap generic viagra beta release of Windows 98 at Computer Dealer’s Exhibition (COMDEX) in Las Vegas in April, 1998. Don’t Clicking Here generic viagra sale get caught in the performance anxiety, never scale up your performance, additionally use of Kamagra also ads in your physical strength and confidence. When your brain is unable to send signal to the penile soft viagra tablets organ or your penile organ fails to receive adequate blood, needed for an erection. I was looking through my old Hotmail account the other day and came across an Excel spreadsheet I made when I was teaching myself how to use this software for university. I created a spreadsheet to compare guys to find the “Ulti-mate” which I thought was a very clever way of saying guy rating system. It’s kind of embarrassing at this point but at the same time I’m actually impressed with my initiative! LOL. Here is a “birds eye view” of the spreadsheet to prove it’s existence.
I’m not the only one that had this type of idea though. While I was researching female-created apps I came across one called Lulu. When it originally launched it was a way to pull in the guys from your Facebook account and rate them based on your experiences with them. Categories included: manners, appearances, spending habits, and career ambitions. Sound familiar?
I should note there was quite a bit of backlash about this app and a lot of people thought it was mean/anti-feminist. Like the theme of this post, at least the founder (Alexandra Chong) got the experience she needed to pivot into what the app is today: a part of the largest dating company in the world, Badoo (she is President). Also, I Googled her and she is known as one of the “top entrepreneurs in New York” (source: Wikipedia). Also this.
Basically if you have your own Ulti-mate-type idea…just launch it now! Let the haters hate and maybe Richard Branson and Princess Eugenie will come to your wedding.
