My name is Bertha, I hail from Johannesburg in South Africa. I initially started my career as an Engineer, I had been doing it for over 15years when I decided to completely switch careers and start programming and coding. I am completely self-taught from online courses, programs, and on-the-job training. With that said, the dev house I founded has developed pretty amazing software over the years (in my mind). One of our latest products is Skhokho - https://skhokho.io/ Our Ship, upcoming page can be found here - https://www.producthunt.com/upco... have been learning a lot from this community, I read a lot of threads - trying to figure out how to get the most out of Product Hunt and prepare for a good enough product launch in the next couple of weeks. One of the things that comes out a lot in the discussions is - Building a Community. You hear it all the time - build your community, mailing list, and following. I would like to ask the guys who have been doing it for a long time or guys who have managed to build successful communities - how? How do you start from scratch Which platforms have worked best How do you keep your community engaged What daily, weekly practical steps do you take to actively build your community What worked, what did not work

If I ever need to open up some space, I just delete some apps temporarly. But even if it's just for a second, I would never uninstall Google Keep. What is the one app you'd never delete?

I always have 100s of browser tabs opened, often many tabs just for the same website. I have tried to stay in control but have failed to do so! I would love to hear the tips from the best web surfers out there. Maybe it makes my life easy and others find it helpful too. Thanks in advance!

Do you set personal or professional goals at the beginning of the week? If so, how does it seem to help you?

You have a challenge. You want to solve it as soon as possible, but you don't know how to. You need a clear guide. What kind of guide would that be?

Howdy, fellow product makers! How and where do you keep and organize all of your data (ideas, hypotheses, visions, results of tests, insights, extracted data from customer interviews and user researches, tasks, etc.) for your product?

Hi makers! As we are approaching the launch, I am busy planning out how do we work with beta users first. I thought it would be nice to make a chat for people participating in beta so we can quickly respond and also people can connect with each other (maybe it can be the starting point of our community, who knows). Right now I have two options at hand: Slack and Discord. Seems like everyone has Slack installed, but it is heavily associated with work. Looks like Discord is a more friendly, but I'm not sure if our audience uses it that much. What do you guys think? Does anyone have experience of setting up a chat for beta users?

Curious to hear what everyone's *must-dos* are prior to and during a product launch!
