I think it would be great for the Product Hunt community to learn from everyone's different methods of pre-design (before prototyping) user interviews during early-stage primary market research of your projects, and what are the methods you most use. Understandably each project has unique use-cases for different tactics, though think about the methods you use most often, and what has the most impact and successful outcomes for your project's success. It could be: - Different types of online survey or questionnaire strategies - Group video Interviews - 1-to-1 Interviews - Group workshops - Various forum-based discussions - Social media polling - Product purchase intent questions - Testing ideas and getting feedback through events I myself, really love testing ideas and getting feedback through events, I find it enables me to build trust with people in a neutral setting. Whilst online surveys enable me to gain a deeper insight into the intent, needs, and pain points of these people, enlightening me to problems or ideas I'd not observed or thought of. Various user research tactics during this early-stage of primary market research I've not yet done enough of is group video interviews and workshops, so if you've done a lot of this, I'd love to learn about your success rate and overall experiences with such methods.

As a non-technical founder, I had teamed up with an engineer I'd known for a couple of years. We were even accepted into an Seattle incubator. The day before incubator kickoff, after working for 90 days on my app concept, my co-founder withdrew and refused to meet with me to discuss the matter. An investigation turned up the fact that his intention was to steal my idea - he'd already paid someone to develop a logo for him and had a live competing site. See? https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ak8_mGXlfQFk... I've spent time during covid isolation thinking about other things: decided to let it go, take care of myself and family, to re-visit my startup a few months down the road when I wasn't so upset by the betrayal. Did I even want to seek out another cofounder? Nocode sounds pretty interesting to me as a way to get an MVP out the door and test out the concept in the market. I genuinely recognize the value of a technical partner, but maybe I should just be in charge of my own destiny for the time being. If you've tried this and can share your experience, I'd sure appreciate it!
