There are always too many things that feel important.
And I think solo makers have the same problem as teams - just with all the voices in the head =D
In a team everyone can have a different priority, the designer might want to polish the UI, developers want to fix backend issues, marketing wants to improve the landing page...
One of my young and enthusiastic maker followers recently asked me for advice on finding alpha testers.
And honestly I realized I m not the best person to answer this one =D
We built RunEvr inside an animation studio, so our team of artists naturally became our first alpha testers. We had a real product, a real team, and a real workflow to test it on from day one.
So I couldn t really give advice based on my own experience.
I ve noticed a pretty big change in my own behavior over the last year.
If I m looking for a tool for something specific, I ll usually ask ChatGPT first, then check Product Hunt or Reddit to see what real people are saying. Google has become more of a second step for me.
What I m curious about is whether thats actually changing discovery for other makers too, or if I m just unusually deep into AI tools.
