I began building a lot of businesses 1.5 years ago but ended up facing failures in a lot of them. I then followed the approach of validating before building. So that got me interested in researching problems in the user onboarding space in the month of February.
I tried out a lot of testimonial tools but found that they were quite slow & had limited customization options along with brand appeal. I wanted to innovate entirely on that front & started building Famewall -A tool to collect & embed social media, video testimonials on customizable walls which can be embedded on landing pages in under 1 minute with no-code!
Since I'm a solopreneur, I was involved in actively getting out the word for my new project while also building it. So I got assistance from my girlfriend & we brainstormed on different possible names -> We first came up with "SocialWhisper" but on sharing it with a few people, they mentioned that it sounded like a product related to 'gossips'
'Famewall' was a name we both agreed on, since it describes the product at a glance where the testimonials are embedded on a decorated wall of fame
Twitter & Indie Hackers has been the biggest growth channel for me. This is mainly due to the reason that I'm building in public & share everything transparently including my failures :)
I built the product using the MERN stack.
At the moment, I don't have any such plans since I just launched it 4 months ago & it feels too early to sell. I'm focused on Famewall & another product of mine which operates similarly in the user onboarding & retention space through emails -> Mailboat. So I have plans to grow them both :)
