Hey I really like this idea! I have been taking a similar approach lately with something I've been calling "deployment first development".
My approach is to create a dead-simple hello world app deployed to the internet with a one-command deploy and start iterating from there. Having something to show people that is live and that I can see the feedback loop for helps me tremendously.
I might have to supplement my current side project with this Pay Me button soon though.
Excellent! Tight feedback loops are everything. Feel free to take a look at my /milestones page or DM me if you have any questions. I'm always looking for accountability buddies too.
