Show HN: We built an entire SaaS product in a weekend

We are four good friends from Vienna who have forever been meaning to build a product together. However, we never quite found the time next to our day jobs. One day we were chatting and set ourselves a challenge to try to build an entire product from scratch in one weekend. The we thought—if we&#x27;re hacking for three days straight, why not livestream the whole thing?!<p>That&#x27;s how <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;productweekend.live" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;productweekend.live</a> was born. We spent the past weekend building Feedback Fish from scratch live on air in front of thousands of people!<p>So, why Feedback Fish?<p>We all individually have built products before, but realised it was kind of hard to get feedback from users. All existing solutions are heavyweight and do a lot more than we want them to (e.g. Intercom, Canny, etc).<p>That&#x27;s how Feedback Fish was born. It&#x27;s an unobtrusive yet polished widget that fits into any website for users to drop ideas and issues into. You get an email for every suggestion, a dashboard to see all suggestions throughout history and pay us $10&#x2F;month. That&#x27;s it!<p>Reducing the scope of what we are building enabled us to finish the whole thing in a weekend, and we launched to the #1 product of the day on ProductHunt yesterday and got ~600 customers, the first of which have already started converting to paid!
