Week 2 of Hustle2Grand: Two Launches, No Users, and a Lot of Learning

Week 2 of Hustle2Grand is done, and it was intense.

What I Shipped

LogicLore (Launch #1)

On Tuesday I launched LogicLore, my edtech platform that teaches computer science to kids through themed challenges. The product feels solid, but I didn’t market it enough — no users signed up. Definitely something I’ll need to improve soon.

VibeFight (Launch #2)

Then in just two days, I built and launched VibeFight, a launch arena for “vibecoded” projects. It got 140 visitors in the first 2 days, but only 3 submissions.

I shared it on Reddit and got tons of feedback, which I summarised in a post here:

Biggest takeaways:

  • People lurk more than they interact
  • Comments ≠ users
  • Users need a reason to come back or take action (incentives, community, visibility, etc.)

VibePatch (Pre-launch)

On top of that, I prelaunched VibePatch, a security audit agency for vibecoders. It offers manual website reviews before launch to catch common vulnerabilities. I priced it at £50 to start with, but no customers yet.

What I Learned

  • Shipping fast is great, but without proper marketing or distribution, nobody shows up
  • It’s easy to confuse interest with traction — validation needs action, not compliments
  • Burnout is real. After pushing three projects in two weeks, I hit a wall

What’s Next

I’m taking next week a bit slower. My plan:

  • Revamp my portfolio and clean up all the projects
  • List GameGift for sale — it's a strong idea, but someone else might market it better than I can
  • No new launches — just maintenance, polish, and regrouping

Looking Ahead

After that:

  • I’ll fix VibeFight using the feedback I collected
  • Try more targeted marketing for LogicLore, which I still believe can be a core income stream
  • Push for my first customers with VibePatch and start exploring more of the cybersecurity space

Still a long way to go before I hit £1,000, but each week I'm learning what actually works — and what doesn’t.

Yo this hit hard 😭 I launched some stuff too and got the “this is cool!” + zero users combo 💀

Respect for shipping fast tho — it’s mad inspiring. Gonna start doing weekly recaps too. Let’s get that bag 🚀

yea the sad thing abt launching is you have so much confidence while building and usually after launching it just deflates and you're left feeling stuck
thanks dude, giving you a follow and hoping to see your weekly recaps!

Pretty cool, honestly. I've felt that burnout after back-to-back launches so much, but seeing you push hard then admit you need to regroup is real. The learning adds up every week
