@henwalkco I think that all-nighter the night before your launch is a must. Even with our strategy I had to pull it 😅

Sandra Djajic · Answer

@henwalkco I doubt it 😅

Sandra Djajic · Answer

Created a launch strategy and put a time limit to it 😊 We scheduled our launch on 18th of April and everything from marketing to tech side needed to be done on that day.

Ignored tiny details, focused on mainly functioning products, fix the issues after the launch. This made me way faster, and I realized most of the features I thought as essential were actually not required by the users.

Carter Michael · Answer

@henwalkco Yeah! important not to release garbage, but it's better to release than nothing at all.

Answer

I streamlined my project by adopting an iterative development approach, allowing me to launch an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) faster and then continuously improve based on user feedback.

Eve Box · Answer

I want to develop directly based on the feedback they request. If there is no feedback from them, I feel confused and my mind wanders everywhere.

Answer

@carter_barnett ah so true.  Being comfortable with imperfection is a must.

When it comes to the crunch we don’t want to put something out that isn’t ultra high quality, but that’s the trap.

I don't want to be silly but using Chat GPT drastically increase my shipping rate. If you know what you're doing, its a game changer.

I use it mostly to think about architecture or how I'm going to code something. I write want I'm going after and it will give you mulltiple ways to do what you want. Pick the best for your need.

Anyone else?

Answer

@sandradjajic giving yourself a time restraint works wonders.

But always ends in an all-nighter the night before launch for me 🤦‍♂️

Answer

@sandradjajic Ha!  Is it even a real launch without it?

Raisa Shafiyyullah · Answer

@henwalkco Yap, that's correct Henry. I would use Google Docs & Sheets to store information or data.

Raisa Shafiyyullah · Answer

Manual process. I would tell myself to just do it manually first so that I could launch and iterate faster.
