He Built MY Startup Idea and Sold It in 8 Days ($15K Side Hustle)

Synopsis

Josh Pigford took Greg's Idea Browser post about an AI tool for finding expired domains, built NameSnag in under 12 hours using Claude for naming and coding, branded it, build-in-public'd on Twitter for 145K impressions, and sold the whole project for $15,000 eight days after launch. The lessons are jump on viral tweets fast, name the product before coding, and rebuild v2 within two days once you learn what doesn't work.
