To ensure our product remains user-centric throughout its development, we prioritize constant user feedback and engagement at every stage.
Platforms like Quizify.io are built with users in mind, so we regularly gather insights through surveys, quizzes, and beta testing to understand their needs and pain points.

One of the best thing you can do is to be your own customer. If you can put yourself in the shoes of the customer, you can experience in detail about your own product.

@vaibhavdwivedi That’s a great point! Putting yourself in the customer's shoes can provide invaluable insights into the user experience. 💪
We set up a program called "PPP" - Product Pioneers Program. It's a group of student volunteers who are keen to learn more about UX research. They're constantly chatting to their friends about our product and gathering authentic feedback. The PPP has a very big influence on our actual product roadmap.

Absolutely agree with your approach! Keeping the product user-centric is indeed crucial. I've found that regular user surveys and feedback sessions have been game-changers. One experience that stands out is when we revamped our UI based on user feedback, which significantly boosted user satisfaction and engagement. For tools, I've had great success with Hotjar for heatmaps and user recordings, and Typeform for detailed surveys. These insights have been invaluable in steering our product development. Excited to see the community's thoughts on this!
Don't just pay attention to what users say; focus on how they actually use it. If your product is going to undergo major changes because of user feedback, it means you didn't have a clear understanding of what your product was supposed to do from the start. In that case, don't rush; take a step back, think it through, and then take action.
To ensure our product stays user-centric, we continuously gather feedback from our users through surveys, interviews, and usability tests. This real-time input helps us refine features, address pain points, and adapt to changing needs. Our team prioritizes user feedback in every development sprint, ensuring that the end product truly resonates with our audience. 🛠️👥

By starting with a Minimum Viable Community (MVC), expanding from a core group of dedicated users to a larger, engaged tribe, and fostering network effects, we co-create a product that achieves market fit and drives business growth. Success is ultimately driven by the people involved—both the team that builds the product and the community that supports and informs them.
In the startup world, the will to succeed is less crucial than the will to prepare. This means investing time, effort, and resources into thorough planning, building, and strategizing. Starting with a strong community foundation is the best way to set the stage for sustained success.
