Dave Meier's Feedback
by Joe · 13 things on Twos
- The UI is my biggest struggle.
- Lots of big colourful buttons that got in my way.
- Systems for notes, knowledge, tasks, planning etc should reduce stress.
- That’s why we need the UI to feel less cluttered to help reduce cognitive overload.
- The second struggle is you want it to do everything for everyone.
- This pushes me away from investing time and energy into learning and keeping my content in the system.
- I worry that there will be lots of features of no relevance to my use case.
- I also worry that features for me will be slow to arrive since you are trying to keep everyone happy.
- I want an opinionated system that excels in specific areas.
- Then I could see your marketing being specific with helpful (rather than general) guides on how people can do X, Y, and Z in the app.
- Without a clearly defined audience; the development of features, design and marketing strategies could leave an app that some people use but nobody loves.
- I’ve designed and founded software services and the ones that were successful had specific audience segments.
- People buy for their future aspirations — who they want to become. They want to see how your product will help them now but also for their long-term desires. Features and benefits need to align with audience outcomes.
