It’s built quietly — through small observations, unrelated moments, and lessons that often have nothing to do with the industry you work in.
In product, intuition gets misunderstood because it rarely sounds confident. It sounds like, “Let’s wait,” or “This might matter later,” or “I just have a feeling this is worth doing.” And because it doesn’t fit neatly into a slide, it often gets dismissed.
But intuition isn’t about knowing more. It’s about noticing earlier, caring sooner, and trusting that will be enough until the numbers catch up.
Wrote just about that.

The Problem with Labeling People
Not sure if it's a trusted source. Let me link it to the article though.
And Freshchat for chat. Even they have a free plan.
Tired of note-taking apps
In this post, I've shared my thoughts on how to answer this question and why starting with 'feature differences' isn't a great idea.
Let me know what you think. :)
Why are you better than your competition?
Initially, I used to think it's not a good idea to blog if you're not saying something new. So I tried hard to come up with topics to write on, and that process consumed most of my time. And I ended up not writing anything at all.
Later I changed the way I thought about blogging.
- Blind posts. What's obvious to you isn't obvious to others. No matter what it is about, keep writing.
- Writing is thinking. It's the best way to become aware of your biases and ignorance. A sure shot way to improve the way you think.
- New knowledge. What was the last thing you searched on the internet? Can you write about that?
Here are a few essays that have helped me get past my 'writing lethargy':

Ask HN: Best blogs/videos/courses on product marketing?
What are some really good blogs/videos/courses on SaaS product marketing?
The landing page reads "Monitor your websites for technical issues"
I feel the headline can be modified to help a prospect understand why they should care.
Something on the lines of "Boost your website performance to deliver an excellent user experience" will help a prospect understand what they can achieve with UptimeMate. (This is just an example)
I think receiving updates on Slack and email is cool. It'd be nice if you could add that to the sub-heading. Something like "UptimeMate instantly notifies you of technical issues on your websites and ensures YOU are the FIRST to know. Receive updates on Slack or email. Use UptimeMate for FREE during our beta, no credit card required."
The screenshots look really good. The value props of the product and customer testimonials are on point. Well done. :)

I took this course to understand what the whole fuss around 'Paradise Lost' meant. I was utterly mind-blown, learning its snide references to free will, tyranny, slavery, civil liberty, etc. in the poem. What I once thought was a retelling of the Bible, surprised me with its political nuances.
