Research Twice, Build Once šļø
Far too many products still fail because thereās simply no demand for them. How does that happen? Or, how do so many startups launch entire businesses without realizing users didnāt need their products?Ā
By overlooking user research.Ā
Every tech company has to build and ship new products to continue growing. And, whether there are 10 users or 10 million users, the key to building successful products is understanding who the users are and what they want. User research is the unsung hero of determining a productās viability and the secret ingredient to its success.Ā
And while an Amplitude or Mixpanel account is often the first software license purchased by a startup, these same startups often neglect to implement user research software or processes. This is despite the fact that product managers at these companies spend roughly 30% of their time on user research related activities. If knowing what users are doing within the product is so important, knowing the why is even more essential: It guides the follow-on decisions that make or break product experiences.Ā

Our dear Elon Musk has unexpectedly restricted Substackās access to embedding tweets. Though the substack is working on resolving the issue, please bear with the tweet links till then! š¤¦š»
Writers trying to embed tweets in their Substack stories are in for a rude surprise: after pasting a link to the site, a message pops up saying that āTwitter has unexpectedly restricted access to embedding tweets in Substack postsā and explaining that the company is working on a fix. The unfortunate situation comes on the heels of Substack announcing Notes, a Twitter competitor.
The issue could cause problems for writers who want to talk about whatās going on with Twitter in their newsletters or about things that are happening on the platform. While screenshots of tweets could work in some cases, theyāre less trustworthy because they donāt provide a direct link to the source. Screenshots also wonāt help you if youāre trying to, say, embed a video that someone posted on Twitter. (And Twitter seems to be at least somewhat interested in becoming a video platform given that several Blue perks relate to making the video uploading experience better.)
