What is your definition of Done? When do you know the product design is 'Done' and ready for users? Design can be very subjective and there is always a scope for improvement. Looking for some tips on where/how to draw the line. Thanks.
Julie Chabin
@jjassal Done is when we've solved the initial problem and the design is usable. This is why it's important to define the scope at the start of a project. Things can always get better, but blocking the launch of a new feature because it's not "perfect" yet, especially in web and software, where we can push updates regularly, isn't the best strategy. I hope it helps!

Congratulations πŸŽ‰ I just do think that is missing for the first comment some text customization to make it stand out like to be able to use h2, h3, sΓ©paration lines, maybe 2 colors who that match with our brand identity. And when we finish to field our page to be able to see a preview without going on an other site to test it with old setups of PH.

How much of this is intuition and how much knowledge, from 1 to 10?
Julie Chabin
@emanuele_caldari Intuition is the driver, knowledge is there to help make informed decisions. Just like in science, you make the hypothesis that something might be possible, that's intuition guiding you. Then you use methodologies, frameworks, processes, tests, to verify your hypothesis. That's knowledge. Intuition and knowledge work together. 50/50

When working on new features for a product, how do you prioritise what to work on and what does measuring success for them look like?
Julie Chabin
@kylerjphillips I see prioritization a bit like when you're building a LEGO. If you know what you want your LEGO (product) to be like at the end, you can prioritize which blocks (features) you have to put first... otherwise, the other pieces will float in the middle of nowhere. It's difficult to decide what needs to be done first if you don't understand where you're going. Does that make sense? As for measuring success, it really depends on the feature. Sometimes, success is not moving any metrics but laying the foundations that will help build faster in the future, or just making users happy.

When can we expect an update to Product Hunt's mobile apps, and what should we be looking forward to?
Julie Chabin
@chrismessina We've recently hired new people and built a team dedicated to mobile apps. What I can tell you is that they started working on the apps and are rebuilding them from scratch to create native experiences on iOS and Android. @ahiggz herself is leading product for the mobile experience! I don't want to speak for her or the team and share a timeframe but things seem to be moving fast and they just got started ⚑️

@ahiggz @syswarren sweet! Need a beta tester? πŸ˜‰

Any design-related newsletters recommend? I'm looking for a product design version of Lenny's!
Julie Chabin
@tszhoi_19 That's a good question. I know design newsletters but they are mostly focused on visual design. Maybe I'll start my own product design one 🧐
Tsz Hoi Lee
@syswarren I love to see one from you. I read most of the design stuff from uxdesign.cc but then they're too diverse to read.

What is the best place to find great UI / UX talent in your opinion, Toptal, Upwork, Behance or...? And do you prefer Sketch or FIgma? Curious. And thank you.
Julie Chabin
@jillandresevic I'm not sure there is one best place to find good designers. Talent can be found everywhere. A good place to start would be Dribbble. It's also worth looking on Twitter or joining smaller design communities! I use Sketch and Figma. I don't have a preference, but I use Sketch more often!
Kyler Phillips
In your opinion what are the most important skills for all design leaders to have in your experience?
Joris Falter
What do you learn from all the products posted on Product Hunt and how do you apply that to make Product Hunt better?
Julie Chabin
@joris_falter Keep building, keep shipping πŸ’₯
