For product research, I primarily rely on a combination of Reddit and industry-specific forums. These platforms offer diverse perspectives and real user insights that are invaluable for understanding market needs and trends.

I couldn’t just scroll past this topic! We’re working on a product called Pathway https://pathway.cc/ that’s made for modern product teams doing user research. Feel free to give it a try — our Free plan is quite generous, and you can explore almost everything 🙌 I’m also curious to know what platforms everyone else is using. And if anyone has feedback or insights on the topic, I’d love to hear them!

Answer

I'm using a combination of platforms for user research -- Google Surveys for quick feedback, UserTesting.com for in-depth video interviews, and Notion to organize all the insights. Curious to hear what's working well for others! Pathway looks super interesting, will have to check it out. Love how generous the free plan is 👍

I've been using a combination of Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Twitter to stay up-to-date on the latest research related to my product area. Google Scholar is great for finding academic papers, ResearchGate helps me connect with other researchers, and following relevant accounts on Twitter surfaces new findings, insights and discussions. Curious what platforms others are finding most useful for product research! Pathway looks really interesting - I'll have to check it out.

Daniel Harrison · Answer

Google is still my go-to for general research, but for more targeted product research I've been loving UserLeap lately. Super quick to set up micro-surveys to get feedback from users on specific features or ideas. Anyone else use UserLeap or have other tools they recommend for fast, focused user research?

@mogthesify no but I am trying to find out.

Nupur Tevatiya · Answer

@mogthesify I agree it is worth it. But is there any other similar platform which does the same thing ?

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig · Answer

@nupur_tevatiya I don’t know. Do you?

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig · Answer

We use usertesting.com. Gives you access to test users from all demographics. Pricy but worth it.

Nupur Tevatiya · Answer

@robertthomas2 I have learned about ResearchGate from you. Thanks 🙌🏻 
I will surely use this in my reading as well.

Nitesh Jamod · Answer

I primarily use a mix of user feedback from our platform, alongside market research tools like Google Trends and industry-specific forums, to stay informed and refine our product strategy.

Answer

We use a combo of Airtable for high-level planning, Notion for research docs/insights, and our own customer interview tool for user interviews. Curious to check out Pathway though - seems like it could streamline things nicely! Always on the lookout for tools to level up our research game 👀
