Yesterday I launched Instantsite.
I’ve been sitting on this idea for months, constantly second-guessing myself:
“Who needs another website tool?”
“Everyone already uses WordPress / Webflow / Notion.”
“People won’t pay for something this simple.”
I’m a solo dev. No audience. No marketing budget.
Just a frustration I kept seeing again and again:
people need a website, but they never build one because it feels expensive, technical, and overwhelming.
So I built a tool where you literally describe your site and it just… exists.
Yesterday I finally hit publish.
I shared my story in a couple of places no launch hype, no growth hacks and then closed my laptop.
This morning I woke up and saw real people using it.
Not “viral” numbers.
Not life-changing money.
But actual strangers choosing my product over doing nothing.
And honestly? That hit me way harder than I expected.
Now I’m at that weird stage:
I know there’s real demand…
but I have no idea how to grow this without losing the human side of it.
If you’ve been here before:
How did you go from the first handful of users to the first 100?
And if you’re building something yourself keep going.
This tiny win already changed how I see everything.
