    RideNeighbor Carpooling App, Progress Log

    EXECUTION 
    Both actually! We’ve been hitting every angle, TikTok and Instagram with organic content (personal story hooks have been performing best), active in Facebook groups and Nextdoor for hyperlocal reach, and the press has been a huge accelerator. CBS13 syndicated nationally and we just wrapped ABC10...

    RideNeighbor Carpooling App, Progress Log

    EXECUTION 
    It’s been a whirlwind and I had to come back and update this thread! Since my last post: ️ Just wrapped an ABC10 news interview today — segment coming soon targeting California commuters up and down the state App prototype is built and looking polished — Home, Find a Ride, My Rides, and...

    Working Mom, Zero Tech Experience, Built a Startup in 48 Hours After Reading Fastlane | Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    This is exactly the mindset I’ve been building with! Scoop’s biggest weakness is that it’s co-worker focused and has limited users in smaller markets like Sacramento. RideNeighbor is built specifically to address that — neighbor focused, community first, and launching where the demand already...

    EXECUTION 
    Yes I’m aware of Scoop and actually studied them closely! The key differences with RideNeighbor are: 1. Scoop focuses on co-workers — we focus on neighbors 2. Scoop’s algorithm picks for you — we let YOU browse and choose 3. We have vibe matching — chatty/quiet, music/no...

    EXECUTION 
    These are incredible suggestions and exactly the kind of feedback I needed! The abuse concern is real and something we will address through our verification system — since users are verified by ID and address, taking connections off platform still leaves a digital trail that protects us. The...

    Working Mom, Zero Tech Experience, Built a Startup in 48 Hours After Reading Fastlane | Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    That’s a really smart point and something I’ve thought about! A few things work in our favor: 1. Commute routes and schedules change — people change jobs, move, adjust schedules and need new matches 2. Reviews and ratings stay on the platform — users want to build their...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you for sharing this! RideNeighbor is actually a different model — we are not a vanpool service. We are a peer to peer carpooling app where neighbors use their own vehicles to share the commute. No vans needed! Think of it like Nextdoor meets carpooling — neighbors helping neighbors get to...

    EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much for this feedback — this is exactly the kind of insight I need! You’re absolutely right. The distinction needs to be immediately clear the moment someone lands on the site. I will be updating the wording to make it crystal clear from the first line that RideNeighbor is NOT a...

    The Millionaire Fastlane changed my life — here’s the action I took in 48 hours

    INTRO 
    Week 1 update on RideNeighbor 7 days ago I launched a waitlist for a carpooling app that matches long distance commuters with verified neighbors going the same direction. Week 1 results: ✅ 85 waitlist signups ✅ 1.5k views on a single Nextdoor post ✅ CBS13 interview scheduled ✅ First potential...

    The Millionaire Fastlane changed my life — here’s the action I took in 48 hours

    INTRO 
    That’s really cool that you built something! The AI fishing intelligence concept is interesting. For pricing — $9/month can work if your users see clear value every time they use it. The key question is how often do fishermen use it and does it make their fishing noticeably better? If yes then...

    That’s awesome that you used Claude too — it really is a game changer for non-technical founders! I used the same $20/month subscription and it built everything I needed. The quality of my website turned out great — I think the key is knowing how to prompt it effectively. Would love to see what...

    Thank you so much for this — this is exactly the kind of advice I needed! Supabase and Mapbox are going on my list for when we move into development. I love that this community gives such actionable advice. I will definitely take you up on that DM offer when the time comes to build! And your...

    DAY 4 UPDATE — I don’t even know where to start. This morning MJ DeMarco himself commented on this very thread. He said RideNeighbor is “a great example of building what you need and would use.” I read it three times to make sure it was real. Then CBS13 Sacramento News — one of the largest...

    Thank you! Action is literally the only thing that separates ideas from reality. Three days ago I had nothing — today I have a live website, a trademark, creator partnerships and MJ himself commenting on this thread. Just. Keep. Moving.

    EXECUTION 
    MJ! I cannot believe you’re here on my thread. This is surreal. Your book gave me the mindset to stop waiting and start building. The fact that you’re validating the concept means everything. I promise I won’t stop. RideNeighbor is just getting started and I won’t forget where it all began...

    DAY 3 UPDATE — I need to share what happened today because I’m still processing it all. This morning I woke up to an email from MJ DeMarco himself responding to my thank you email. He said — and I quote — “Don’t forget about Fastlane when you’re the next valley billionaire.” I literally had...

    Thank you! And how cool that you’re building your own apps and the AI integration sounds really exciting, keep going! The main AI tool I used was Claude by Anthropic. It helped me build the entire landing page, write the privacy policy and terms of service, create the logo and cover photo and...
