An indie developer shared how they built and launched the 'Wen Da Ka' (Ask the Expert) Q&A product from scratch in just 6 days, totaling 86 commits, entirely powered by AI coding assistants.
- Development Workflow: The developer never manually inspected or wrote code. The entire process consisted of providing requirements to the AI, testing the features, and feeding back issues for the AI to fix.
- Product Mechanics: Utilizes a paid inquiry model where experts set their own prices (with community members getting 50% off). Unanswered questions within 72 hours are automatically refunded. It also supports tiered discounts for follow-up questions and a paid 'lurk' mode (1 RMB to view high-quality past Q&As, splitting the fee between the asker and the expert).
- Cold Start Strategy: The product was developed and promoted simultaneously, launching with actual content data and successfully completing its cold start phase.
