Ask HN: What did you build or launch in April? We've had a lot of fun in the past showing off your current projects. Folks get some publicity, some feedback, and some ideas for their own projects. So, if you built or launched something in April, here's your chance to show it off with a description and maybe a link. I want to read about what you've done this last month! |

Dialoggs is a social conversation network that can be used in a number of ways. See my explanation at http://amirmalik.net/2012/04/27/introducing-dialoggs if you're interested.
With ~100 users (~20 active/day), it's been great iterating on the product and seeing user feedback first-hand. Our app is incomplete with obvious bugs, yet we still launched. People love it and understand that we're human, and it's still a work-in-progress.
Don't wait for perfection that may never come, just launch.

I wrote the guide, produced the PDF using a nice third-party template with a few custom modifications, and wrote the entire sales app from scratch. This project is the first time I've used Stripe and Mailgun. The entire project took less than a week, and is on track to net five figures in the first month of sales.
Quite like the idea of this thread - I've started to try and release something every two weeks until I find something that I really want to put all my time into.
Its a long-form travel magazine. Our second issue is coming out in July and next up is gaining some advertising. Should be fun.

Also shipped a much-improved version of the Mac app itself... but that's still waiting for review from Apple. So I suppose that doesn't count for April :0
It's currently pretty basic, but I have lots of neat stuff on my todo list -- should be a fun ride.
(I don't have it anywhere to share, and since it's VB I'd be a bit ashamed to, sorry)
