This was an informative read. I'm specially very interested in "real-emails.com" I just checked the domain and I found nothing... are you still actively working on that because for our SaaS product, we could really use this service... hit me up if you're API or services are ready for testing...

Hey Harsh, I'm glad you liked the post!

Yes I'm still actively working on it and should have something ready to test end of next week :)

I'll DM you on Small Bets!

I found it so interesting the way you analysed the competition and decided it wasn't worth the bet.

I haven't been doing as comprehensive an analysis on my ideas.

I also like that you set a deadline on real-emails.com

Looking forward to updates 😀

“I also like that you set a deadline” 👉 ahah yeah, on my side I’m more like what have I done? 😱😁

Ahaha yeah, if it works I may try it too, all my ideas have no deadline, so they're vague and undefined

Well I can already tell you that you do need deadlines!

But deadlines won’t make your ideas defined or « unvague » though.

You need to write them down, find out what you want the end result to look like, who you’re doing it for and what’s the job to be done to get there.

Split up the work in smaller pieces and put deadlines on them :)
