Some founders launch their product once and then focus entirely on building and growing it. Other approach is to treat every major update as another opportunity to launch. A new MCP server, a Business or Agency plan, or even a new integration can all be reasons to put the product in front of people again.
I can see the logic behind both approaches. Launching once lets you focus on the product, but launching regularly gives you more chances to reach new audiences.
Yesterday, in a few Reddit forums and generally from the discussions around me, I noticed that people are "tired" of office work.
Either too much routine or exaggerated demands on creativity and the like. Mostly, these are people who are paid well and can afford to "leave" their jobs to explore, relax, do something else.
AI is a great, cheap foundation we can all agree on that (depending on token usage, of course).
When you re building your first product, and you re not sure if it will work and earn money, the obvious goal is to keep costs as low as possible and avoid burning money early on.
Recently, I came across a discussion where someone asked whether to skip the internship and build the product with AI instead.
I see the same trend on X. Some founders are just 14, 15, or 16 years old already building tools, and some are even raising funding. AI has completely changed what's possible.
Most people think users choose products based on features or price. In reality, support decides who stays.
A cheaper tool becomes expensive fast when every issue turns into a ticket nightmare. Meanwhile, teams keep paying more for products that solve problems and support them when it matters.
Support is not a cost. It is part of the product experience. Fast replies build trust. Clear answers reduce churn. Companies that treat support as a growth lever win.
Hey guys, some of us build a significant audience after launching a product, mainly because we are limited in workforce and finances. Indeed, having an audience before the launch is critical. How do you handle this issue, especially if you are into marketing?
As founders, we wear many hats. We all have to learn a bunch of new things DAILY. On any given topic, there is an overwhelming quantity of content. You have to search - vet - learn; rinse and repeat x 100 a day... What's the most effective learning method for you?
