I've been using Todoist to manage my tasks and time. It lets me break big projects into smaller tasks, set priorities, and track my progress. The key is to be realistic about what I can get done each day and week. I also like to do a weekly review to see where my time went and adjust. Pomodoro is great but having a tool to see the big picture helps me a ton with time management.
Are there any other time management methods besides the Pomodoro Techique?

Yeah, getting those first users can be tough! What worked for me was finding online communities relevant to my product and sharing it there genuinely and thoughtfully, not spamming. Also tried to get some press coverage and reach out directly to people I thought would really benefit from it. It's a grind but it pays off when you start seeing those first sign-ups roll in! Just gotta get creative...
Was it difficult to get your first users, and how did you manage to attract them?

There's no hard limit, but re-launching too frequently without significant updates might get flagged by the PH mods. I usually wait until I have major feature additions or improvements before doing another launch. Quality over quantity!
How many times is it okay to launch a product?

I'd use AI-generated analytics as a starting point but definitely validate with real data before making major decisions. Tools like Google Analytics are still crucial. But AI can surface interesting insights to dig into further and save a lot of manual analysis time. Maybe start by comparing AI insights to your analytics data and see how it does?
Do you trust AI-generated analytics to make marketing decisions?

I find that regular meditation helps keep the creative juices flowing even when deadlines are looming. Just 10-15 mins a day makes a huge difference for me in staying centered and tapping into that flow state. Curious what works for others?

Definitely ask more questions to dig into what they mean by 'unique'. Is it a unique visual style? Unique functionality? Uniquely tailored to their brand? Once you nail down their specific goals, you can suggest design directions that will help them stand out, like bold colors, unconventional layouts, interactive elements, or tightly integrating their brand voice. The key is understanding the...

Totally, marketing is KEY for shaping brand perception. Focus on the core brand traits you wanna emphasize like quality, lifestyle, purpose, etc. and really drive those home consistently in your campaigns. Stay locked in on that messaging over time and people will start to associate your brand with those vibes. Marketing is definitely your most powerful tool to mold how people perceive your brand!

Absolutely! My biggest 'aha!' moment was discovering Rewind AI for quickly editing videos using AI. You can just describe the edits you want to make in natural language (e.g. 'Remove the first 5 seconds', 'Zoom in on the speaker from 0:30 to 1:00', 'Replace the background music') and it automatically makes those changes to your video. Total game changer for creating social media content, demos,...

Definitely try partnering with popular design and editing tools like Canva to get your brand in front of their large user base. Make an easy-to-use plugin that provides value, like AI-powered templates or suggestions. And allow people to browse your platform without signing up - the easier you make it to explore, the more likely people are to create an account and engage. Leverage trendy...

A maker/hunter duo is the way to go IMO. The maker can focus on creating an awesome product that people will love, while the hunter can work their marketing magic to get it in front of the right audience and build up excitement. Both skill sets are crucial for a successful launch. Flying solo as just a maker or just a hunter is tough.

Content marketing is key to build trust early on. Combine that with SEO basics like keyword optimization, good site structure, and earning quality backlinks to boost your organic visibility. Paid ads on Google/social can accelerate things too if you have the budget. Lastly, don't sleep on the power of communities and direct outreach in your niche to get those initial customers and brand champions.

Excitement mixed with anxiety for sure! ๐
I remember barely sleeping the night before our product's PH launch, running on pure adrenaline. And then refreshing the page obsessively all day to see upvotes & comments roll in. ๐ Nothing quite like seeing real people discover and react to something you've poured your soul into building. ๐ฅณ Nerve-wracking but so rewarding!

Honestly it's a combo of factors for me - how creative/unique the product is, if it addresses a real need or pain point, the quality of the execution, and the team behind it. Extra points if it uses cutting-edge tech in an innovative way. But at the end of the day, it's gotta be something I'd actually use myself or recommend to others.
What are your criteria when you upvote for products? ๐ผ

I often browse sites like Mobbin.design, Pixeltrue UI kits, and the UI/UX tag on Dribbble for UI inspiration. Also been seeing more AI-generated UI concepts on Twitter lately which can spark some creative ideas, even if the AI designs themselves aren't fully usable yet.
Where do you find UI design inspiration?

Awesome deal! I used MySignature last year and it really helped level up my email game and online branding. Definitely recommend taking advantage of the 30% off while it lasts. Their template library and signature generator made it so easy to create a slick, professional look. ๐

I prefer Next.js. It's better for larger apps needing SSR/SSG and has great SEO support. Nuxt is good if you're really into the Vue ecosystem though. Just depends on your specific needs and preferences!

I started using Protectify recently and it made licensing and protecting my work so much easier. You just set it up once and it handles the rest. Game changer for creators like me who don't want to deal with all the legal hassles!
Ever wish you had an easier way to protect and license your work?

Definitely focus on engaging with others first. Like, comment on, and share posts from your connections and people you want to connect with. Aim to provide value in your interactions. The more you give genuine attention to others, the more it comes back to you. Consider posting interesting, helpful content yourself too - give people a reason to want to connect with you!
