The most important lesson I have learned is that you have to pick yourself back up after a failed product, pivot after you analyze what went wrong, and then launch something again.
Few top ones are:
1️⃣ Never have bugs or errors!
2️⃣ Test all edge cases
3️⃣ Build awesome features that endusers love it
4️⃣ Measure and act on HEART factors (Happiness, Engagement, Aquisition, Retention, Task Results)
I agree with a lot of comments on this thread. Especially about listening to your users and get the product out as soon as you can. Nothing is ever perfect and you need to see in real life what the feedback is going to be. As it's founder and working on it everyday can definitely close your mindset to new solutions/improvements in certain ways.
Launching soon!
Don't ignore user feedback, no matter how attached you are to your vision. The market doesn't care about your ego.
I learned the hard way that a great idea is not enough. We needed to spend more time validating our product with potential customers before investing heavily in development. 🙂🙂
Last time we failed to communicate the value of our product due to weak communication between team members 🤐
Keep updating it. At some point It will success.
Get your product out as soon as possible - perfect is the enemy of good enough and all that. It didn't really click for a long time, even though many told me this!
Listen to users > Fail > Listen Better
Haven’t really failed at one as we are launching soon.
But I do believe that having to analyze what went wrong and try to come back up with better results is the key here ☺️
For sure, getting feedback from those with more experience is super important. I'd also say do tons of user testing early on to get insights into what could be improved before investing too much time and money into the wrong direction. Fail fast and iterate!
the key is the developing. only uniqueness and useful functions can help your products stand out.
Feedback is very important. We thought we knew what our customers wanted, but we were wrong. Early and continuous user feedback would have helped us avoid costly mistakes. 😃
Simplicity is a key. Don't become oversmart
An important lesson from my product failure is to listen to references from friends, keep trying to improve and don't give up. we must set our focus on moving forward and must not do the same things as failures in the past by not forgetting the support of praying for God that is effective and getting blessings that is the form we must always be grateful to God
You can have the best product but without marketing you are lost
