Thinking about what's missing and what you can work on is so important but it can't be everything you are doing.

Looks like Microsoft wants a slice of Canva's growing pie. That's for sure better (for us) than buying it out. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/12/...

For example, our team has #high_five channel in Slack. We are using this channel to share our teammates' accomplishments with the team. However, this is a kind of disappearing information that isn't archived permanently. I wonder if you know another way to share and archive someone's achievement.

I started using Copilot from GitHub. The experience was a bit painful in the beginning, but now I feel it helps me a lot. (Copilot helps while writing code) I even use it to create Google Sheet functions as it uses GPT-3 and can do more than code. What kind of tools are you using and to what extent? I'd love to have some recommendations.

Even though I am aware of the importance of the work-life balance, I sometimes find myself working on the weekends as well. Do you do it too or is it just me?

There's probably tons of advice I wish I had but if I could go back I would tell me that failure is necessarily a fail, we can learn from it and take those learnings to our next journey

Hey, I'm Alex and I like writing English and TypeScript. I have founded a few companies (most recently Clearbit and Reflect), was an early engineer at Stripe, and I've also written a few O'Reilly books. I'll be answering questions on November 9th

Hey, PH community! I'm Mac, a full-time CEO :). In my free time, you can catch me playing basketball and sailing. I used to travel the world, but since I ve got two small kids it s much harder now to pack all stuff into a small backpack ;) Before I founded WebWave, I was a software developer and created websites for clients as a side hustle. I was ace with code, but lacked the imagination and creativity to design great websites. It helped me to realize engineers only slow the process. So I started creating a tool for designers so that they could make websites in a friendly and familiar environment. Since then, we have bootstrapped WebWave to over 500,000 users and 30 employees and now got #1 Product of a week on Product Hunt! Our superpower is that WebWave looks and feels more like a graphic design tool, Figma, Canva, or Photoshop, rather than other website builders. More here: https://www.producthunt.com/post... And now, let's chat about all the things around bootstrapping and managing the company, the SASS market, developer experience, UX and UI, web design, productivity, community building, and beyond. I am here to answer any and all of your questions in the next 48 hours. So fire away!

No code tools for marketing + its benefits. Long-read I ve been working in the marketing space since 2012, leading a design & development startup and then SDK marketing for $54M in funding US company. Since that time I have used various tools to speed up my work. Today, while leading all the marketing for WeLoveNoCode (https://welovenocode.com/), a marketplace to hire no-code developers, I became very familiar with the no-code space, using no-code tools almost daily. While I knew about no code and used it before, especially in product development (https://www.producthunt.com/stor...), I never thought it could be powerful for marketing. So how can no-code tools boost our marketing performance? In marketing, we need to work fast and deliver results: users, traction, MoM growth, and constant testing of new marketing channels. Therefore, marketing functions should have cross-functional support from designers, front-end developers, back-end developers, and automation experts to move so fast. If that support is not there, marketing teams can use no-code tools (yes, marketing can learn those tools). With these tools, people with little or no programming skills can build products/apps/automation easily and quickly. The main benefits for the marketing team from using no-code are: Speed of releasing new marketing initiatives. At WeLoveNoCode, we have several Tilda temples for marketing pages, and the marketing team can easily edit, improve and launch them almost instantly. Ability to automate processes in marketing. Marketers can also take advantage of no-code by building integration between various systems, having robust reports and workflows. Ability to keep tracking of marketing activities and spending with no-code tools. We track all marketing OKRs, projects, initiatives, paid and content campaigns, all that in Airtable. Go-To-Market planning with having all activities in one Airtable/Coda makes everyone perfectly aligned. If you add integration to Slack with changes updates, you will have almost a smooth flow. Ability to organize marketing researches and knowledge base simple and fast. Tools like Coda, Notion, or Airtable are perfect for competitive research, database projects, and keeping all internal knowledge synchronized and organized. Simplicity of user research. With no code tools running simple surveys and analyzing them becomes super simple. Furthermore, tools like Typeform can be integrated everywhere in several clicks. Let's talk about several no-code tools for marketing, which marketing teams can start using right now: Tilda, Carrd, and Webflow can be used for creating high-converting landing pages to inform and guide customers. All of the tools have simple interfaces and a rich built-in UX. You can also create pages fast to test hypotheses from available templates done by your team or bought from the templates marketplaces. Typeform and Google Form can be used in creating questionnaires, UX research, feedback gathering systems, and all ways of getting customer data for further marketing segmentation. Zapier can be used to integrate two or more apps and automate workflows. For example, when you collect a new lead, it can be automatically synced to a CRM and sent a personalized message. Airtable can be used for campaign management, content, social media planner, product launches, lead management, and even hiring. Coda can be used for organizing information and learnings, which I can share with the community. Notion can be used as a knowledge database, kanban board, project briefs. Miro and Mural can be used to design user journeys, empathy maps, personas. Update, more tools to check: Siter.io TallyForm Sembly Personal I plan to make an ebook book on how marketers can use no code with step-by-step guides for every part of the marketing process. If that is something interesting for you, let me know in the comments.

1. There is no such thing as too much social proof 2. The higher price, the better customers 3. Empower users, not market them 4. Talking to customers is a shortcut to success 5. Having an email list is a superpower 6. Nobody wants to book a meeting with you 7. Showing the product > Describing the product 8. Nail one acquisition channel before adding the second 9. Sell positive future, not product features 10. Your customers are the best promoters 11. Distribution is more important than the content 12. Paying customers is the true validation You can see how we implement all these rules on the landing page of MakerBox Marketing Workbook https://www.makerbox.club/workbook

We've seen a lot of growth in AI comment generators lately  auto-creating comments and replies based on available info. Do you think apps like these are positive or detrimental to community-focused platforms like Product Hunt? Fwiw, we're aware that many folks are already choosing to use these kinds of services on Product Hunt. We're actively working on ways to address it, but I'm curious how our community feels about this type of engagement. Please vote (and explain your thoughts)!
