What almost a year of building OceanMind on iOS taught us about what users actually want

When we started OceanMind on iOS, our thesis was pretty straightforward:

Build structured programs combining breathwork, movement, and meditation. Ask people for 30 40 minutes a day. Give them a path that produces meaningful results over time.

The interesting part is: it worked.

Does every good product need to hit a ā€œdeadly sin,ā€ or can desire alone carry it?

Saw a thread here going deep on problem-first thinking, and I agree with it, that s clearly the safest and most reliable approach. But it made me want to think a bit wider about what else is out there.

It reminded me of a story I heard once: an investor won t fund something unless it hits at least one or two of the seven deadly sins, greed, vanity, envy, sloth, whatever the case. The idea being that pain and desire are what actually move people to open their wallet, not just this is useful.
