First of all, kudos to you for building and shipping a product that you can charge for. The website looks really good and polished. I don’t mind the countdown and introductory pricing. If people find it useful, this should definitely help with conversion. Good luck!

I am sure a lot of folks here work for both small and large companies. I am curious if you all followed a structured process for planning your roadmap for 2022? And how confident you feel about meeting your commitments? I am looking to learn what has worked or not worked for people based on their experience. Cheers!

1. Try to pick a product in a large market. 2. Look at a few existing products and identify a couple of things that you can do better than the incumbents. 3. See if you can solve those 2-3 problems better than others. 4. Speak to potential users and find 10 people who would be willing to use and pay for your product. I can’t emphasize this enough. 5. Give yourself a timeline on how long do you want to persist with an idea. 6. Rinse and repeat. 7. Stay at it and keep iterating. 8. Good luck!
