Good question! I've spent the last 2 years building the education app I wish I had when I was being orange-pilled back in 2020. Now that Jippi has a prototype MVP on TestFlight, we're opening up a waitlist to get our beta app in front of users. We'll then test our assumptions/hypothesis to see what works and doesn't work, then we'll iterate quickly on features until we get the engagement we want. Lots of analytics and speaking to users!
It's such an interesting paradox.
The profession (product/ UX) screams "YOU ARE NOT YOUR USER. SPEAK TO USERS."
And then some of the best products out there are because the builder solved a problem that they most needed to see solved. Though many would argue that it's more the builder has deep empathy for the needs of others, recursively though solving their own problems - like Steve Jobs.
Anyway - how big's the team? What's your North Star metric at this beta phase?

Exactly, two opposing frameworks that produce varying degrees of great results.
I've always been more into the Steve Jobs/Henry Ford model of "customers don't know what they want until you show them".
At the moment we're a team of two, myself (software engineer & product), then my co-founder (operations). We're looking to find a third (software engineer), so if you know of anyone, do let us know! We'll be building a team next and going for funding.
