I Wasted a Day Building This… Then Fixed It in 10 Minutes

Check out Order Hand here: https://orderhand.com/ I wasted a full day building a WhatsApp waitlist system for my SaaS… before realizing I could replace it in just 10 minutes. I’m building Order Hand — a simple app to help people who sell via WhatsApp or in-person track their sales without messy spreadsheets. My wife is one of them, and this is a real problem for a lot of small sellers. In this video, I share a classic founder mistake: overengineering a solution when a much simpler option already exists. Instead of building a full WhatsApp newsletter system, I ended up using a WhatsApp Channel + a simple link-based signup flow. Sometimes the best solution isn’t the one you build — it’s the one you almost overlooked.
