Let your users define for your product
We don’t need to say your product is great, let others decide that.
There is no guarantee that we are the best, or that what we build is “amazing.” As someone who prefers doing over talking, I always remind myself: what customers say about my product is the most honest reflection of what it truly is.
If users feel satisfied, it means the product is moving in the right direction.
If they don’t, it doesn’t mean we’ve failed completely. It means something isn’t right yet, and it’s time to fix it.
When I put myself in the user’s place and ask, “What would I want here?”, that’s often the first step to understanding what users actually need.
Every day is new. I try to start each day as if I’m at zero with an empty head and a mindset ready to learn, adjust, and change. I question my product like a customer, and then look for answers like a builder. That’s how I untangle problems and discover new directions.
In the end, just build with sincerity.
Winning even one real user is already a win with yourself.

I really connect with this. I don't want to label my product as great wither, I want users to do that for me. Every honest reaction teaches me something. If even one user feels helped, I know I'm building in the right direction.

@laiba_asghar I hope what you are building will be even more successful in the future Laiba
Relatable. I built Verithos to solve my problem first, which means every tiny improvement is also based on what I want the product to do for me as a user. I quickly realized that unless its just a side project, what other users think about our product is what actually matters. It's a tough pill to swallow sometimes, when you thought you've built a good feature, only to realise that users dont see immediate value in it, nice to have, so you endup removing/hiding it. Still learning how to be user/customer led here :)
