Ask HN: How to go from Idea to Product?

3 pointsfunwie1 comment

Starting from zero, how do you initiate projects to turn ideas into products or even prototypes?

From a thought about building something to design it, implementation, release, and maintenance without losing focus.

What do you think is the driving force that keeps you going

What advise will you give to people who just write down ideas, those who lack execution?

The best way to initiate a project and turn it from an idea into a prototype is to start. It's literally that simple. Building a product is hard, but the only way it's going to happen is if you start. Other than that, the steps are the same as starting anything else. Determine what you think is a good first step to take, then do it. Then pick the next step and do it. Keep doing that until the product exists.
