All your users/customers are important, but the first few more so. ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ—๏ธ They help shape what you're building into something that others will want to use.
๐Ÿ“ฃ They tell others about what you've built.

Keep them close. Foster the relationship. ๐Ÿค—

Anyone do this and then retroactively add the item to the task list just to be able to mark it as done?

No, just me? ๐Ÿ˜…

I feel horrible

I built a feature and it was not on my todo

I don't have anything to check ๐Ÿ˜ญ
"Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right." - Henry Ford

This always hits home. It's helpful when the self doubt kicks in.

I'm looking for more #nocode, #lowcode, and #buildinpublic people to follow.

Anyone you'd would recommend?
The people shouting "you're not a real X" show more about themselves than anyone else.

I know what imposter syndrome feels like. Don't randos on this app make you question yourself.

Keep progressing to get what you want.

Yea...absolutely...the customer totally asked for it. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

If you could fix how your groups communicate, what would you fix? Curious what problems y'all are having.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Team: more responsiveness, notifications don't have urgency
๐Ÿ‘‰ Community: less dead zones, it's easy to join and lurk but not participate

People don't usually want to hurt you and will do a lot to protect your feelings. ๐Ÿค•

This is the thesis of The Mom Test.

You'll need to hear harsh feedback about what you're building. ๐Ÿคฌ

Cultivate useful feedback, no matter how hard it is to hear.

The ๐›๐ข๐ ๐ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ lie I told myself in my 1st startup was that I had a target audience.

I asked people out of that group to use my app. It was ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ hard to focus.

The lesson? People want to help. Niche down and matter deeply to a focused few.

The external data sources are so close to working again!

I'm so excited to move beyond this part of the work. It must be done, but I'm excited to get to the good parts.

We cheer and celebrate explosive growth.

While it's a great position to be in there are downsides. You need to manage it in all ways like support and infrastructure.

I'd always opt for more growth than none, but not everyone is ready for it.

Something that I've been interested in, as builds get more complex, is what kinds of practices from an engineering culture carry over to a #nocode experience.

We've talked a little about testing. Any others that might carry over as well.

I've been a part of failed startups.

When I was younger I ๐Ÿค” it was a ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ issue.

As I got older I ๐Ÿคฏ it was a ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ฆ issue.

They didn't solve a burning problem. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Fighting a lack of need is a sure way to burnout.

Validate first.

I work late, whether tech or otherwise. But, it can be really draining- I have to get up and get the kids to school. ๐Ÿ˜ด

Every few weeks I go to bed much earlier and it recharges me.

Anyone else like this?

Hey #nocode community! ๐Ÿ“ฃ

How did you come to understand your data model?
Are you using a spreadsheet like Airtable or Google Sheets or a database provided by your tool?

#tweet100 #buildinpublic
Staying motivated is hard.

Outside of pure interest, I like to see the progress I'm making with @linear. I'm pre-launch (in all forms), so I don't have loads of customer feedback yet.

How are you staying motivated? Any tools I should look into?
