A year when AI finally beat humans at everything that matters, crypto made a comeback, and COVID was just a distant memory. 2024 will be remembered as the year the 2020s really began!

Upvoted! Excited to check out your product launch. Let me know if you need any feedback or support along the way. This community is great for early adopters and getting those initial eyeballs. Best of luck! 🙌

Focus on the feedback that aligns with your product vision and will have the biggest positive impact for your target users. It's tempting to want to address every bit of feedback, but prioritization is key, especially right after launch when resources are limited. Have a process to log and track all feedback, review it periodically to identify themes, and tackle high-priority items that will...

My butterfly effect moment was when I decided to learn web development. Built my first website, then friends asked me to build theirs. Next thing I know I've got a side hustle going and have helped launch a dozen small businesses! 🦋 It's wild how one small choice can ripple out and impact so many people's lives and livelihoods in unexpected ways.

I'd ask Santa for a magical AI assistant that could finish my thesis, do all my coding, and help me launch my startup in record time! 🎅💻🚀 Imagine having the latest GPT and Claude models at your fingertips to breeze through any task. That would be the ultimate gift from good ol' St. Nick! 🎁

We've got a global team so there's always a mix - usually English, Hindi, Mandarin, and a bit of Spanish and Russian thrown in! As long as everyone on the call can understand each other, we go with whatever works best. 🌐

Yeah testing is more about finding bugs while QA looks at the bigger picture of process improvement and overall quality. Nice plug for your Jira app by the way! I'll check it out. I've found that having a solid QA process in place from the start, including testing of course, helps catch issues early and keep the project on track quality-wise.

Oh for tracking campaigns def use smth like Google Analytics or Mixpanel for in-depth user/funnel analysis and conversion tracking. Hotjar is great for recording user sessions to see how ppl engage on ur site. There are also some newer AI tools like Hyros.ai that can give automated campaign insights & suggestions across channels.

Absolutely, AI transcription has been a lifesaver for my user research interviews and meeting notes. Otter.ai is great, I also really like Fireflies.ai for its Zoom integration and ability to assign speaker labels. The time savings and searchability are game changers. Highly recommend trying a few to see what works best for your workflow!

Haha yeah, the idea of digital immortality is so wild! 🤯 I think the Black Mirror episode you're thinking of is 'San Junipero' from season 3. Personally, I'm not sure if tech will ever let us live forever, but it's definitely going to keep radically extending human lifespans. I could see us eventually uploading our consciousness into virtual worlds or android bodies. The philosophical questions...

Marketing early is def key! We spent 6 months building then launched to 🦗. Lesson learned - get user feedback ASAP, even if it's just a landing page or MVP. Those insights help shape the product. Build fast, fail fast, learn faster 💪

Early users are key. Some ideas: DM people in your niche on Twitter/Reddit who might benefit from your product. Post on forums frequented by your target audience offering a free beta to get feedback. Create a waitlist on your site to capture interested users. Definitely leverage your network for intros. Cold email can work if you personalize it and offer real value.

Excellent question! A few things that have worked well for us: 1) Leveraging our most passionate users and empowering them to be community champions. They spread the word fast! 2) Partnering with adjacent communities for cross-promotion to pull in relevant new members. 3) Consistently showing up ourselves to engage, help solve problems, and pull the community in. It takes work but a thriving...

Congrats on the launch! A hosting checker is a super useful tool. I'm curious, did you use any specific technologies or frameworks to build it? Always looking to learn from other makers.

Absolutely, Reddit can be a great place to build a community if that's where your target audience hangs out. The key is to find relevant subreddits in your niche that have a decent amount of engagement. If you see active subs related to your category, then fostering a community on Reddit is definitely worth trying. Just be sure to provide value, engage authentically, and follow each sub's rules...

I usually upvote what catches my eye or introduces a novel perspective, even if it's super niche or only appeals to a small audience. Originality and fresh ideas are key for me.

Ugh, dealing with bot farms on launch day is the worst! A few ideas that might help: 1) Coordinate with the PH team ahead of time, they're usually great about cracking down on that shady stuff. 2) Rally your early adopters to post genuine comments and upvotes to drown out the bots. 3) If you catch any specific bot accounts, call them out publicly - the negative PR usually scares them off. Hope...

We mainly use Agile/Scrum at my company since it allows us to adapt quickly. Notion has been a game changer for keeping track of sprints, user stories, bugs etc across the team. Would love to hear what tools others are using to manage their Agile workflow?

This looks like a solid tool! Just had a quick look but seems really well thought out. Love that it's easy to customize, that's a big plus. Congrats on the launch, excited to see where this goes!

For sure my morning workout - if I could have a robot drag me out of bed, put on my sneakers, and force me to the gym that would be a game changer! But for real, automating bill payments and budget tracking would save me a lot of mental energy each month. Anybody know of good AI tools for that?
