I’d gamify household chores to make them more fun and less of a drag

The toughest decision I’ve made as a founder was deciding to pivot a product after months of development.

With just a $50 marketing budget, the key is to think creatively and focus on tactics that give you the most impact for minimal cost: 1️⃣ Build pre-launch hype: Use social media (free platforms like Instagram, X, LinkedIn) to share teasers, behind-the-scenes content, and engage your audience. Create a free landing page using tools like Carrd or Mailchimp to collect emails from interested...

Managing a product roadmap and keeping the team aligned requires a blend of transparency, prioritization, and collaboration. Here's what works well and what we made possible with Planyway: 1️⃣ Start with a shared vision: Clearly define the "why" behind your product. Everyone on the team should understand the goals and how their work contributes to the bigger picture. 2️⃣ Use a single source of...

To me, marketing is all about connection—bridging the gap between people and solutions. It’s not just selling a product or service; it’s about understanding people’s needs, telling a compelling story, and building genuine relationships.

Plus, it’s great for teams collaborating on content. 3️⃣ Sprout Social: A premium choice, but the customization and reporting features make it...

Great question, Nika! Product Hunt is fantastic, but it’s definitely not the only option. A multi-channel approach can amplify your launch and set you up for long-term success. Here’s a strategy I’ve seen work well: 1️⃣ Pre-launch buzz on social media: Start building anticipation weeks before the launch. Share sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes updates, or even polls to engage your audience. This...

Staying focused during long tasks is all about balance and strategy. Here’s what works for me: 1️⃣ Break it down: Big tasks feel overwhelming, so I split them into smaller chunks with clear milestones. Checking them off keeps the momentum going. 2️⃣ Time-blocking: I block specific hours on my Planyway calendar for deep work. It’s amazing how much you can accomplish with uninterrupted focus. 3️⃣...

There’s no such thing as a truly "fail-proof" marketing strategy—every audience and market is unique. But one approach that consistently delivers results is deeply understanding your audience and solving their pain points.

It integrates with popular project management and developer tools like GitHub, JIRA, and Slack, providing a unified workflow for teams.

-What works in one market might flop in another. From colors and imagery to tone and humor, cultural preferences can dramatically impact how your product is perceived. Localization isn’t just translating—it’s adapting. -Each country has its own rules around data privacy (looking at you, GDPR), taxes, and even marketing claims. Navigating these while scaling can be overwhelming without the...
