I have been building, learning, searching, investing for the last 6 years, back to back, non-stop. I feel I have officially reached burnout. One week I am super into building and I code new things like crazy. And the next I just want to chill and go surfing lol. Do you go through a similar phase? How do you deal with the constant change of emotions?
Ironing has not experienced a technological revolution, unlike the mop which is now replaced by a small washing robot. Let's invent a new generation dry cleaning together.
As for me, it's definitely the process of filtering and turning into action emails and LI messages. There must already be a tool for that! And I'm not using any serious automations yet. Just general aid from GPT3!

Lovable hit $400M ARR with 146 employees. That's $2.7M revenue per employee. Midjourney goes even further. $500M revenue. ~110 employees. $0 raised from investors. That's over $4.5M per employee.

All of us want customers on our platforms. However, a sign-up is very different from an engaged user who keeps returning and finding value over time.
Creating the right user experience, without being too intrusive, spammy, or in your face , can significantly improve engagement, increase conversions, and reduce churn. In my experience, a platform s success is defined far more by its active users than by the total number of people who have ever signed up.
Below are a few approaches I ve seen work well, along with some that haven t been as effective.
Hey Hunters, I know that user feedback is very important when building a product, especially for startups. The problem is, I m still figuring out the best way to collect it effectively.
Right now, I m debating between:
Email: Sending out direct emails to users. But how should I structure them? Short & casual or more structured surveys? In-App: Using a widget or pop-up inside the app. But where and when is the best moment to ask? Feedback Tools: There are so many. Which ones are actually worth it?
