Forget the big, stressful launch. I now use a 'Micro-Launch' approach to release features to tiny, targeted groups, gather immediate feedback, and iterate quickly, making product development less intimidating and more effective.
My first product's UI was… rough. Users didn't hold back. This post shares my most humbling design mistakes and how I learned to iterate based on candid feedback.
Pricing is hard. I've tried free, cheap, and slightly less cheap. This post shares my honest experiments with pricing models and what I've learned about value-based pricing.
As a solo founder, every tech decision feels critical, and I've definitely made choices that slowed me down. This post reveals my evolving philosophy for choosing a 'Minimum Viable Stack' – focusing on familiarity, speed, and cost-effectiveness over shiny new tech. I'll share specific lessons learned from past tech stack experiments (both good and bad) and a simple decision-making framework to help you pick the right tools to ship your MVPs faster.
Building in public means a flood of feedback – some brilliant, some distracting. I'll share my early struggles with getting overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions by user suggestions. This post introduces my 'Feedback Filter' process, a structured approach to categorize, prioritize, and integrate user insights without sacrificing your product's core identity or getting stuck in development hell.
