- How can we integrate user feedback and data analytics into our product development process to continuously improve the product experience and ensure it aligns with evolving customer expectations?

Looking forward to it. Being early on in this journey AND not being a pure product person myself, this is very timely! 🙏 A big question that I have and have heard competing POVs on - How polished does the MVP need to be? Of course, I'm thinking with my B2B hat on. The opinions that I'm hearing are
1. If you're building for the US - UI/UX is crucial. A good product with basic UI won't cut it
2. Rest of the world - Feature-first ,delight/UI/UX later.
How true/untrue is this? And what are the nuances here?

DOES -> Start focusing on growth
DON'T -> Spend money on things that aren't growth.
You're good to go.

Thanks for setting this up Adam.
Does Sprig work with Mobile apps? (Particularly Flutter)

Listen closely to your customers - they will tell you 90% of what you should be building

Looks really cool! Also very interested in the mobile apps aspect (iOS/Android/react native)
What’s the next best feature on the roadmap for Sprig? Looking forward to it!
I appreciate the focus on both the dos and don'ts of building a product experience. It's essential to understand not only what works but also what potential pitfalls to avoid along the way. By addressing common challenges, attendees can gain valuable insights and strategies to navigate their own product development journeys successfully.

Here's my super checklist about the Don'ts:
✅ Avoid feature overload.
✅ Don't rely solely on internal feedback.
✅ Don't sacrifice usability for aesthetics.
✅ Prioritize performance optimization.
✅ Adhere to accessibility standards.
✅ Actively listen to user feedback.
✅ Continually monitor analytics post-launch.
Hope you resonate with this Aaron!
@shaikrish Interesting points for sure. Thank you for this.

Sounds like an awesome event! Looking forward to learning from Ryan and Ning about creating a great product experience. Excited to see what questions others will ask.
How to be effective in collecting the initial product feedback and quickly iterate?
We are aiming to launch our own debit card, which will provide users with the ability to easily use their cryptocurrency in everyday life. Go to the site https://www.kasta.io/convert where with our help you can easily exchange one cryptocurrency for another. The converted assets are reflected in your wallet within a few seconds.
In my opinion, building a successful product experience requires following certain dos and don'ts. It is important to understand the users' needs, prioritize simplicity, etc. On the other hand, it is crucial to avoid overcomplicating the user interface, neglecting user feedback, sacrificing performance for aesthetics, and overpromising while underdelivering.
Do focus on user needs, iterate based on feedback, and strive for simplicity; don't sacrifice usability for aesthetics or neglect the importance of accessibility in creating a product experience that delights and satisfies users.In my opinion, building a successful product experience requires following certain dos and don'ts.

How true/untrue is this? And what are the nuances here?1. Build with technology that you are comfortable with because if you start building with something you are not comfortable, you will mess up big time.
2. Build community around you, because that community will help you to validate your ideas and will give you insight around your night scanner product. (You can also utilize that community to beta test and gather reviews)
3. Keep UI experience as simple as possible, don't make it complicated by trying to build something unique.
4. Look at the flaws of your competitor, don't think what they have done better than you because you will loose your confidence (I have abandoned many projects because of this)
5. Lastly some modification based on opinions are good, but don't get swayed by them because it may change your end result!
Stay consistent, never give up!
