Earlier this week I spoke about the learning curve and how important that is when building a company. Inspired by Alexis Ohanian Sr. The reel underneath is the direct result of our lesson to visualize how our app works. Let's see what the effect is on our waitlist. Keep you posted! In the very odd case you are not on our waitlist yet, please go to Spaghettihead.ai and enroll. #LearningCurve #Innovation #SpaghettiHead #AllYourSavesOneApp #TechNews #StartupLife #DigitalSimplicity #Aiassistent

💡 Interested in 𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗘𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗦 and how to design them? 💡 Watch this brilliant 3-hour course by NFX! It gives an amazing overview of different types of network effects, explains how it works and how to use them in your startup 😍 For free. Just a few bits from first episodes 👇 ↳ Real ID networks (like Facebook) are usually having more value than pseudonymous or anonymous. Almost always you will need to choose 𝗢𝗡𝗘 type for the network that you are planning to create. Authors believe that web3 will also move towards Real ID in most apps. ↳ To turn on the network effect, you need to achieve critical mass. How to get to this critical mass when building a network? Grow the clusters and connect them to each other. ↳ Uber and Lyft are examples of asymptotic marketplaces: in the beginning the network size grows very quickly, but the value that users receive does not increase that much ('if taxi arrives in 4 minutes, it's enough, I don't need it faster') https://lnkd.in/epY2nqy4 I'm already waiting for the second season!

🚀 Hey guys, let's talk about a game-changer in the tech world - "Scaling Up without Stressing Out!" 📈 Imagine your app suddenly getting more attention than a cute puppy video. That's where scalability swoops in - handling traffic spikes smoother than a jazz pianist's fingers on keys. 💃 No more sweating buckets during unexpected popularity surges. 🙌 Your app can handle those viral moments like a boss, and you won't end up in a corner whispering "please don't crash, please don't crash!" 😅 And guess what? Scalability isn't just a lifesaver; it's a money-saver too! 💰 Say goodbye to overpaying for resources you don't need. It's like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and paying only for what you put on your plate. #CostEffectiveScaling But let's dive a bit deeper into this: Scalability isn't a one-size-fits-all game. It's about designing your tech ecosystem in a way that it can seamlessly grow or shrink based on demand. Think of it as adding more lanes to a highway when traffic builds up, and then smoothly reducing them when it eases. This dynamic approach ensures optimal performance without unnecessary resource splurges. #SmartScalability Your app can even transcend geographical boundaries 🌍 thanks to global performance optimization. This means users on different continents experience the same zippy load times. And the cherry on top? You'll be a tech superhero, pushing updates faster than The Flash. 🚀 #TechTurboMode So, next time you're architecting your tech masterpiece, remember, scalability isn't an option; it's the secret sauce that turns your app into an unstoppable force! 🌟 #ScalingMagic #TechGameChanger #CloudScalabilityMatters P.S. No apps were harmed during the making of this post. 😉📱 #NoCrashesAllowed

The importance of product quality is overrated. Opentest launched their app in 2016, joining, as TechCrunch put it, "a growing number of startups that want to help developers better understand what about their app is, and isn't, working, before releasing it too early." Their idea was to send a customer's MVP app to an 'expert' in the Opentest community who would spend 15 minutes reviewing it and providing feedback. For example, a Facebook UX expert would review the customer's app. But, despite pre-seed investment and big-name early users, Opentest failed. There wasn't demand from startups for competitor feedback. So, Opentest pivoted to user feedback instead of expert feedback, but they still couldn't find traction. It was a crowded market space and a 'me-too' product. The following and final pivot did work. A browser extension that allowed people to record their screen and face at the same time. They rebranded to Loom, and the rest is history. Collecting expert feedback on their app didn't resolve any significant pains that customers were aware of. Simplifying team communication, in-person or in email exchanges, did. The product was largely the same, but the positioning shifted. Yes, it needs to do ‘what it says on the tin’. But if what ‘it says on the tin’ doesn’t address an unresolved pain point, what’s inside is irrelevant.
