I always give more importance to user feedback.

@derstartupcfo I agree with you. Feedbacks are the most important pathfinders in upgrading processes 📈
Hey Arda 👋
This is indeed an interesting dilemma and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. I believe the best strategy combines both user feedback and your own insights.
User feedback is invaluable as it gives you a direct line to what your users want, need, and struggle with. It helps highlight usability issues or features that you might not have thought of. That said, it's important to remember that feedback is often highly specific to individual users' needs and may not always reflect the broader user base.
On the other hand, trusting your insights is equally important. After all, you're the one with the vision for your product. Sometimes, users might not know what they need until they see it, and that's where your insight and innovation come in.
Balancing both can be a challenge, but when done correctly, it can lead to a product that not only fulfills its users' needs but also pushes the boundaries and brings something new to the table.🚀
Good luck with your 2.0 tuning!

@eyup_poyraz1 Hello,👋🏻 my thoughts are similar to yours. The most important thing, as you said, be able to establish a balance properly⚖️

Both are important :) But user feedback could be a little more important

@serkan_korkac Yes, you're right👍. When we are in the process of updating the product, we need to make the product better by using both things. But at the end of the day, as you said feedbacks are more important 😊
Hey Arda,
Thrilled to see you in the PH jungle! 🎉
In the case of Contentrain(which's my current case🏃♂️), being born out of an agency, It's not just another company side project that's largely shielded from consequences - it's our shot at survival, backed by a community of individual investors who believe in us.
Sure, it's a hefty responsibility, but also a unique chance to prove ourselves. We're guided by a collective intuition, born from years of trials, errors, and successes within our web agency experience.
While we value user feedback immensely and strive to fine-tune our platform based on it, I'm inclined to trust our collective insight as the primary driver of our strategy. It’s this insight that's been shaped and tested by our journey so far, which makes it invaluable.
Nevertheless, the balance between user feedback and instinct can be a delicate one, but it's an exciting challenge.
Thanks for stirring this conversation, Arda.
Excited to hear others' perspectives too!

@ako61142833, you're right, I agree with what you said when reviewing Contentrain.😊 But when we consider that they are the end users of the product, as you said, their opinions are also very important. In this case, establishing a balance ⚖️ by using these two things can be a good opportunity.
It's a balancing act, really. User feedback is vital - they're the ones using your product, after all. But sometimes users don't know what they need until you show them. Apple didn't create the iPhone based on user feedback, right? So, mix user feedback with your own vision.
