In 2024, I managed to create an app that scaled well beyond our family & friends.
Here is the story, and some key takeaways, from working on Jelly Tutor.
I often feel the high-level feedback I get from App Store reviews or ad-hoc user requests to be too generic and hard to figure out the root cause of the user's frustration.
I also find conducting more detailed user interviews too time-consuming, especially as a founder!
That's what prompted me to build UserFeedChat
How it works:
1. Create a custom-branded UserFeedChat bot, which you can link to from anywhere (inside your product, website or even customer emails).
2. Users can go to the chatbot and request features, discuss the product or highlight bugs.
3. Through natural conversation, UserFeedChat will uncover the REAL insights from users. (It follows the best practices of user research, including the 'Five Whys' principle and all insights from books like 'The Mom Test'!)
Bonus: UserFeedChat will also ask relevant demographic & usage questions, to understand if the feedback you are getting is actually from a user who 'should' be using your product and if they would be willing to pay for it!
4. You'll receive daily & weekly summary emails, highlighting users' key pain points & frustrations.
End Result: you'll be able to gain a clearer understanding of users' thoughts on your product, all on autopilot.

Despite building many products in the past, this is my first posted on Product Hunt. Let me know what you think. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
p.s. You can actually give feedback directly to my own UserFeedChat chatbot on the site: userfeedchat.com
One frustration all my projects have in common: getting detailed, insightful feedback from my users.

I have tried dropbox (with its version history feature) and traditional naming and file management strategies. I was wondering if there were any more efficient, user-friendly ways of keeping track of your desktop files and their respective versions? Almost a GitHub for desktop files.I have in mind a solution where I will have a hosted repository of all my files, and once I select one file (eg...
Hi, I was wondering if people knew of any platform or service whereby you can assess whether people really want your idea (if it exists). I am kind of imagining a "Product Hunt for Solvable Problems" - where people can approve or disprove relevant startup ideas. This is an idea within itself, but I was curious to understand how people currently go about the initial validation process and...
