From Idea to Launch – Our First Two Weeks

Two weeks ago, we launched Firsto — a new kind of launchpad for makers, indie hackers, and early-stage founders. The idea was simple: help people ship fast and make their product's first step matter.

We believe launching shouldn’t feel like shouting into the void or waiting months for the “perfect moment.” Firsto is built on the "Ship First" mindset — launch now, learn faster.

Why we built Firsto

As builders ourselves, we felt the need for a platform that:

• Prioritizes early-stage projects, even those still in v0.1

• Is lightweight, community-driven, and supportive

• Doesn't rely on social clout or viral luck

We wanted a space where you could just launch and start gathering feedback, early users, or even sales — without the noise.

What’s happened so far

In just 2 weeks:

• 📈 Domain Rating grew from 0 to 20

• 🧑‍💻 96 users have signed up

• 💸 3 products made their first sales on Firsto, totaling $57

It’s a humble start, but we’re proud — and more importantly, we’re just getting started.

What’s next

We’re working on:

• A better submission experience

• Featuring more quality launches

• Opening up premium launch options

If you’re building something — however early — now is the perfect time to share it. Join us, ship first.
