Ask HN: Need advice on distributing and testing what I build
I have been building stuff (applications/websites) lately but am having a tough time figuring out how to best distribute and test what I build. I wanted to ask you guys how you do it - what are some of the best practices and hacks you guys deploy and also what is your experience with this step. I am not a deep in marketing, but I am just test idea with my friends, then make project page, buy a bit of advertise and read analytics.
It's not necessary big money to prove idea. Maybe I should keep it that simple, I dont test it with my friends because I feel like it'll be bias (they are very supportive) but I guess I could try the advertise thing. Thanks!
