Tell HN: This is my 4hr sprint story.

I needed something to remind me to (1) read my bible daily, (2) complete my bible at least once a year. I dun want to spend my time to create an app to do that, it could take up to a week.

Instead, I created a paid email newsletter using letter.ly, used Zondervan's Bible Reading Plans as a guide, copied Bible passages from biblegateway.com, installed Boomerang for Gmail extension to help me schedule emails. 4 hours later, my MVP is complete. The whole process take less than a day to complete.

LESSONS LEARNT

- Do not reinvent the wheels. If there's a tool out there, use it! Dun not reinvent the wheels unless it is absolutely necessary.

- Resources is everywhere, use it! There are plently of resources for hackers to build stuffs. Go just do it!

- It helps if you are not multi-tasking. I could do it faster if I'm not surfing YouTube in my 4 hours sprint.

- Finally, once it is ready, go launch it! Listen to the feedback and reiterate.

I hope someone out there will find it useful. If I can do stuffs out there, anyone can do better!

ps: i can add you in a free subscriber, just dm me yr email to @iworkfothem - cheers!
