The Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rule 📏
I spent over 7 hours today watching video footage from test drives conducted by developers using my product. Interestingly, I observed that 90% of the feedback was generated during the first two test drives.
The subsequent test drives identified the same issues repeatedly.
Here, we see the Pareto Principle in action, where 80% of results came from just 20% of the efforts.
To benefit from...

A curated list of websites you can submit your project to 🚀
I went through a list of 400 websites where you can submit your projects and curated a much smaller list of the ones that work.
I'd love to know how I could make this list more useful to you.
What could I improve?
- Form so you can submit other websites?
- Giving each one a score of 0-5 stars?
- Setting a ✅ every time you click one (so you know which ones you've opened)?
