I'm a first-time founder and recently launched my first product. I keep finding myself switching between improving the product and trying to get users.
Looking back, what do you wish you had done differently before reaching your first 100 users? More product? More marketing? More conversations with users?
One thing I realized while exploring mental health apps is that, in moments of anxiety or panic, having more content isn't always better.
When you're overwhelmed, scrolling through dozens of meditations or trying to choose the "right" exercise can become another source of friction. It made me wonder whether wellness products sometimes optimise for larger libraries when what people really need is less choice and faster support.
It completely changed how I started thinking about designing for stressful moments. Curious if others building in health or productivity have noticed the same thing. Does reducing choice sometimes create a better user experience?
Have you ever felt anxious or close to a panic attack but didn’t know what would help? Many wellness apps offer generic advice or overwhelming amounts of content. Minddetur provides personalised relief in minutes, with tailored steps, calming audio, immersive videos, and interactive games—based on how you feel and what helps you most, while keeping your experience private.
