I want lumiverse to become the perfect place for people to publish, discover and discuss great educational videos. I want to build a friendly and intelligent community, make it easy for video creators to find an audience, and make it easy for viewers to discover awesome videos.
I also have finaly made the first few episodes of Orange Mind—my video series about rationality.
Guy who doesn’t know much about startups here—“launched the first version” and “want [it] to become” sound indicative of something more “outline of a novel”—can you elaborate on how big of an accomplishment it was to get it off the ground in the first place?
In startups, it is so called “MVP”—minimal viable product, a simplest version that you can show users to get some feedback and see if it works. It is the first step to building a startup.
To me it’s a pretty huge accomplishment, I’m really proud of myself =) Most of the work went not into coding the website, but into figuring out what it is. I needed a thing that would be valuable, and that I would be excited to work on for the following few years.
A competent programmer could probably create something like that in a week, but because I’m just learning web development(along with writing, producing videos, and other stuff) it took me longer. At the moment it’s the best thing I’ve created, so I’m really happy about it.
I’ve launched the first version of my startup, lumiverse:

Also it’s actually the 3rd iteration of my startup idea(first one was a platform for publishing fiction, 2nd - platform for publishing webcomics.)
