Esports Awards 2024 used Rundown Studio, a tool @iamjohnbarker and I released 1 year ago. Let me share a little how we got here: (spoiler: no PH launch, no mailing list)Permalink On twitter.com

Step 1: Both of us had our own products in the live production space (John with h2r.graphics and me with stagetimer.io). We became friends through John's discord server and talked often.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Step 2: John asked me to join his project to build a new rundown tool. People complained that they often pay $6000+/year for the incumbent ShoFlo. I said no.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Step 3: John was persistent and convinced me. Our expertise combined well. He did production gigs himself and already had a strong community. I had more experience with software development and timezones.Permalink On twitter.com

Step 4: First month we built a throw-away MVP with firebase and the worst react code you've ever seen.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Step 5: Then we lined up 3 user interviews and let them play with the prototype cold turkey. We learned A TON about what users actually need.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Step 6: The MVP got binned and we took ~5 months to build the tool properly.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Step 7: We launched. Not on PH. Not to a mailing list. But on 3-4 livestreams and podcasts of other live production folk.Permalink On twitter.com

We hit the $1000 MRR target 4 months after launch. Compared to the 10 months it took me with Stagetimer. Full Esports Awards case study: rundownstudio.app/blog/use-case-esports-awards/On twitter.com
