Royce here, the hacker building InOutOver.com.

I'm developing a personal finance tool that doesn't sell my data, helps me see my daily spending habits, and tells me where to cut back and lean in. I got the idea after my wife and I spent the last 10+ years budgeting with an excel sheet, financial statements, and a rough financial independent game plan.

The thing is, I don't trust free financial services with my data. And I'd much rather pay for a tool that listens to what I need, don't need, and build it. Because I'm a hacker by trade, I decided to start building.

You can join me by requesting an early invite at inoutover.com. The first 20 signup get the product FREE forever.

I'm always interested to get feedback; feel free to discuss here. I'll be available.

Use obscurity to your advantage. Your blog is not known (yet), but if you show up every day/week and write something you're learning, eventually you'll become the expert and goto source. This is the way I think about my personal blog.

My last advice is pursue traction in addition to building a product.

Spend a few days identifying problems people pay for, particularly easy problems that you can build yourself. The key is that the solution has to be fairly easy to build since you're not comfortable full-stack. Once you've chose a solution that already makes money solving a problem, build the same solution but position it for either a niche market or make a better product than competitors.

I would at minimum leverage bootstrap or semantic ui as your ui. Otherwise, hire someone to do the web interface for you.
