Have you ever pivoted your business / idea? đĄ
byâ˘
Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.
Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!

2 times, as business and market evolves, pivoting is needed when there is less traction on the idea. I have pivoted auditzy.com 2 times, and now we have the PMF. Similarly while building inappredirect.com, it's the same journey.
As a founder I personally felt that to pivot also, you should have at-least something to try first in the market, pivoting with product is always better than pivoting with ideas.
Pretty Prompt
Oh yes... we went from building an AI-powered feedback repository, to now building a Chrome Extension to help write better prompts (Pretty Prompt). Basically Grammarly, for prompting.
My biggest learning: simplicity wins.
I wrote a full article about it here.
I hope it helps, and give Pretty a try!

@aaronoleary I think pivot is part of the development path of a company. @jan_slovacek explained more than well, the best approach is to talk with potential customers.
