Lockdown positives

During the pandemic situation in my country (Poland) I decided to spent my extra time making little experiment. But first I want to tell you what's my background.

When the lockdown was started I save about 1h per day because of work remotely from my home. I don't like to get bored so I started making content for my Instagram (@octocode). This content is in polish but it doesn't matter. I extend my community from 98 followers to 600+ within 2 months. Why do I tell you about it? Because I met interesting people who inspired me to take the next step.

I decided to make a little experiment - try to build a startup based on the community. I asked my followers what project should I build. The winner is Meetenderly.com It's a calendar that you can embed on your website and you can sell your time. Let's imagine that you are a consultant and you want to sell your consultations.

You can create events like "60 min. consultation" set a price ex. 100$ and it's ready. Meetenderly will provide you code to embed on your website and it will be ready to sell your time.

I want to ask you what do you think about my idea. Remember that it's an experiment and I want to create this project based on community feedback. Every comment, suggestion, or idea is priceless for me.

For now, I have a landing page. I made it within 1 day so it's not perfect. You can leave me feedback about it. On my Instagram, I document my journey with this project so if you want to follow me it would be nice :) For today I published content in polish but I think if you join me there I try to publish in English because it's the next thing I want to try - improve my English skills.

Please let me know what do you think about this experiment and project as well.
