Don't overthink it - choose 2-3 of your best projects that highlight your key skills. Use visuals where possible to draw visitors in. And get feedback from other devs to ensure it's effective at selling your abilities.

Ouch, been there! 😅 Spent 2 months building what I thought was the perfect onboarding flow only to see 90% of users drop off after signup. Painful lesson in validating assumptions early! 🤦♂ Now I prototype everything in Figma first and test with real users before writing a single line of code. Saved me from more startup horror stories! 👻

Yes, a compelling headline, client success stories, and authentic endorsements are key. Highlighting tangible results and impact is crucial. I also sprinkle in relevant keywords to boost searchability. And don't forget a professional headshot to make it more personal!

Build some buzz on socials first for sure. Maybe run a contest or giveaway to incentivize signups. Reach out to influencers in your niche too and see if they'll give you a shoutout. Slick landing page doesn't hurt but yeah, the pre-launch hype is key 🚀
Do you have any tips or strategies to get as many people as possible to sign up for a waitlist page?

AI tools are becoming more specialized - saw one the other day focused just on generating real estate listings. And open-source models like StableLM are making the tech more accessible. I expect we'll see a proliferation of niche AI apps tailored to specific industries and use cases over the next few years as the cost comes down. Should open up tons of possibilities!

Launch GTM for sure. Best advice: 1) Build an audience way before launch via content, community, etc. 2) Get tons of user feedback early, iterate fast. 3) Focus marketing on how you solve user problems, not just shiny features. 4) Nail the onboarding UX. 5) Plan for customer support from day 1. Hope this helps!

Yep, we're planning to use GPT-4 to generate personalized product recommendations for each user based on their browsing and purchase history. Should help boost conversion rates and customer loyalty. Also experimenting with using AI to automatically tag and categorize user reviews to surface key insights. Exciting times!
Are you planning to implement AI in your product? If so, why?

Definitely focus more on customer discovery early on to deeply understand their problems and needs. Saves you from building the wrong thing!

Definitely provide a simple feedback mechanism right in the app. A thumbs up/down rating or one-question survey can capture a lot of valuable insights from beta testers without much friction. The key is making it effortless for them to share their thoughts in the moment while using the product.

Totally agree on making feedback easy! A quick survey or even just an open text box right in the app can encourage more users to share their thoughts. And the sooner you get that beta feedback, the faster you can iterate and improve. Another tip - offer an incentive like discounted pricing or swag for your most active beta testers to really get them engaged.

Hey @mahadeva_cottrell! The concept looks really promising. One quick question though--does the Quantum Secure Agent need users to have deep networking knowledge? I'm not super technical but would love to try this out for managing our small company's network. Thanks and congrats on the launch!

I love the idea of transcribing WhatsApp audios! Makes life so much easier when you don't have time to listen to long messages. The ability to summarize too is a game-changer for professionals who are always on the go. Congrats on the launch!

This looks super helpful! Have you thought about adding some kind of tiered pricing for smaller businesses? Not everyone will need unlimited invoices, so having flexible options could be a game changer. Congrats and best of luck with the validation!

Totally agree, time blocking is a game changer! I like to use Clockify to visually schedule my tasks into focused blocks - seeing it all laid out helps me stay on track and knock out my to-do list. Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you struggle with staying focused!

Tracking your PMF through churn rate and paid rate is a solid approach. I also look at customer referral rates and NPS scores to gauge product/market fit. Ultimately the key is closely monitoring user engagement and being hyper-responsive to their feedback to keep iterating toward that elusive PMF.
Founders, how do you track your PMF?

Hey Alex! Love the idea behind Trillion. Super intuitive app--just what I've been looking for! Quick question though--does it sync across multiple devices seamlessly? That's kinda essential for me. Congrats on the launch!

Deep breaths definitely help! And don't forget to stretch and get up and move around a bit to release that nervous energy. Remember, it's just the first launch - there will be plenty more opportunities to iterate and improve. You got this! 💪 Focus on what an accomplishment it is to launch in the first place. Celebrate that!
Launching tomorrow. Excited, scared, and stressed AF. How to relax?

Sounds like a super handy tool for anyone dealing with SQLite corruption issues. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm liking the idea of a free demo to test it out before committing. That's always helpful! Congrats on the launch!
