Startup questions you should ask yourself …
Side project: Golfedout.com
Like a lot of my side projects, golfedout.com was built out of a personal need. Golfedout was intended to track the variety of golf courses I have played over the last 6 or 7 years since I took up the game a little more seriously. When I started the project it was a simple list of courses, and then evolved into a more elaborate application which allowed you to follow other golfers, partake in a leader board, view course details, such as architects or addresses, and I also added a gamification component. Another aspect I was interested in, is how many of the top 100 golf courses have I played? How many PGA tour courses have I played? In the end I believe I may have made Golfedout considerably over engineered than others might have wished 🙂 If you are a avid golfed or interested, here is a link to my golfedout.com profile: https://www.golfedout.com/profile/rangerat

Building an MVP – Startup or in the Enterprise, these are the people you need …
Building a Product? This Is The Team You Need To Build Your MVP.

Even for a MVP, it takes a village to build a product.
The village has several roles, and selecting the right team early can make or break your idea. Your village will never be of an ideal size, but understanding what you need from your townsfolk can help you make some hard decisions on how to staff the team. Early on, flexibility is the key. You may also have to split up the work if it’s a side project and everyone has a day job.
The composition of the ideal team has been a question that’s been on Quora, and great advice can be traced to a simple model that Dave McClure of 500 Startups advocates — Hustler, Hacker, and Designer — but it has to be viewed within the context of what you’re building. This article covers all the roles that go into building a product, and places where you can “cheat”, i.e. fill in with people that are in other roles. Minimum viable product projects are about building something to a level that gets you started, within extreme constraints.

Web App: Momz.co.za
Shortly before Charlotte being born, I recognized that there were quite a few US websites focused on support moms going through their journey of pregnancy, and the early years of of raising kids. Trying to emulate this for the South African market and emerging internet base, I built momz.co.za.
The page title was “Helping South African Moms with pregnancy, recipes, food, forums, safety and kids”

Technology wise the product was built using the community platform Dolphin, from Boonex. It is a great product and had multiple social media aspects available out of the box along with features like forums, blogs, groups and news, which was perfect for launching this community.
