Do you actively "encourage" word of mouth recommendations? If so, what's your strategy?
Word-of-mouth is a powerful tool for marketing/growth, because recommendations more often than not carry a high level of trust.
People are more likely to believe and act on recommendations from someone they know and trust. Often times they just get a recommendation or referral and won't think twice before going into business (subscribe/purchase/sign, whatever).
I often get the impression that...

What are streaks good for?
Hey,
I'm new to PH. What is the Day Streak good for?
I'm wondering if this is just a vanity metric to keep people engaged 😄 Or is tied to something?

I cycle. Sometimes I'm doing intermittent fasting, sometimes I eat breakfast. It depends on the day ahead, whether I exercise in the morning.
If I really want to do deep work and have the time I don't eat, because the focus in the morning with an empty stomach is insane for me.
Do you eat breakfast to get the day off to a good start, yes or no?

How did you come up with your product idea?
Was it in a field you have knowledge in? How long did you spend refining it? Did you do extensive research? How did you refine it?
Would love to know more about your process!

Played around with @thepetermick 's TweetAI while he was continuously building it in public on twitter/X.
I recommend you give it a try.

PS: The goal of the simple framework I outlined isn't to eliminate all risks—you wouldn't be able to build a product anymore. It's just to be prepared if one manifests.
Also: I could write more about handling risks, if you'd like. Please, let me know if you do.
Do you employ risk management?

Do you employ risk management?
Starting new ventures is probably one of the most risky business moves one can take. Also, there a many frameworks to manage risks.

- Market (competitors, clones/substitute products, wrong timing or offer, etc.)
A simple framework to approach managing risks:
- Identify
