I've been building https://heylangley.com as a solo side project for a little while now. The initial MVP took about 2 months, though I have not had much time to market it. It's pretty much identical to this. I also applied to YC for W23 and was rejected.

Not sure what else to say beyond this: if you have a project that you've been wanting to start, believe in yourself and build it!

The thing that really made the difference for us was the traction we got through the original launch HN post.

  • re: DuoLingo, I always hear the same thing and feel the same reaction :) If you are looking for another team member I'd love to help.
