About

I enjoy building practical software and exploring new technologies that make everyday work easier. I'm interested in web development, AI-powered tools, and learning how other developers approach challenging problems. Product Hunt is a great place to discover fresh ideas and connect with people who love building things.

Stop asking churned users, What feature did we miss? Start asking them this instead.

For a long time, our exit surveys and churn emails asked the generic question: "What feature would have made you stay?"

Unsurprisingly, we got useless answers that sent our roadmap in circles.

The moment we changed our churn interviews to focus purely on behavioral timeline ("Walk me through the exact moment today when you thought about opening our tool, but didn't"), everything clicked. We stopped fixing features and started fixing the friction points in their daily schedule.

For those managing paid tiers: What specific questions do you ask during churn interviews that actually reveal workflow mismatch rather than polite excuses?

When standalone utility becomes a barrier, How do you stop users treating your product as optional?

When you're building a niche SaaS, you want your tool to be clean, focused, and distraction-free. But lately, I've noticed that keeping our product standalone is actually what s driving our workflow churn.

If users have to copy-paste data or manually move between their primary workspace and our tool, it eventually gets abandoned the moment things get busy.

For mature founders: At what point did you realize you needed to stop being an independent destination and start embedding deeply into tools like Slack, Notion, or existing IDEs/CRMs? How did that pivot affect your roadmap?
