BuhalBu’s Kit: Yet Another “Build In Public” Project

Recently I quit my 9-5 job with the idea to create my own startup.

It's named BuhalBu and its first product is an app called BuhalBu's Kit.

Making apps was always part of my plans.

But coming up with a good idea is hard, and I thought (naively) that having a job is a “low hanging fruit” that I can depend on until I brainstorm something worthy.

It turned out it was just a distraction (in my case) that was consuming all my time and energy so, in the end, I had to find a way to focus on my big goal.

The good news is I came up with many promising ideas in the past few months.

And when (finally!) I decided what I'm going to build, I generated enough confidence to leave my well-paid and cushy position in a prospering software company.

##My new project, my new destiny

The app I’m starting with is called “BuhalBu’s Kit,” and it’s like the services named GTMetrix and Pingdom, but it will be mostly free and/or ridiculously cheap compared to the established solutions.

Plus, it will offer several cool enhancements that will differentiate it even more from everything else on the market.

I will build it primarily for myself.

It’s something I could often use, so it will be a mini success even if it doesn’t sell well.

Otherwise, it will be helpful for bloggers, web admins, SEO specialists, and web developers. I haven’t decided which of them will be my primary customers yet.

BuhalBu’s Kit is a “build-in-public” project.

That means I will frequently share what I’m doing, how it’s going, and what the progress is.

To build in public is a trendy way to document your path and spread the word, so that’s another thing I’m excited about. As a blogger, I really like to experiment with new styles, topics, and writing stuff.

I plan to share here many “behind the scene” details that will become more and more interesting as the project evolves, so stay tuned.

You can follow the progress on Twitter, Linked In, and my blog too.
