One of the most effective and affordable marketing strategies is WOM (word of mouth) getting other people to share your product and potentially spark curiosity or create a domino effect.

Over the past few days, several people:

have shared screenshots of my tool on social media,
sent me DMs saying they like it, or
left reviews on the Chrome Web Store.
I plan to use them in:
the landing page
 marketing materials (Chrome Web Store)
 possibly advertisement and "show off on socials"

I want to talk about something that doesn t get discussed enough in product development: what happens when you actually listen to your community instead of your roadmap.

When we launched v1 of Second Brain here on Product Hunt, we had a plan. Then the comments came in. People told us newer isn t always more correct. That conflicting memories needed an authority model. That compression should preserve the through-line.

Recently, I came across a discussion where someone asked whether to skip the internship and build the product with AI instead.

I see the same trend on X. Some founders are just 14, 15, or 16 years old already building tools, and some are even raising funding. AI has completely changed what's possible.
