I've been chewing on this while building Ulsa, so I wanted to open it up here before we launch.
If you work in a fast-moving field, staying current is basically a second job. For years my routine was checking ten different sources every morning, newsletters, X, a pile of news sites, and I still felt like I was missing the things that mattered for my work while drowning in things that didn't.
I have been thinking about this recently. When I discover a new SaaS product, I don t only judge it by the design or features. I usually look at whether the homepage explains the problem clearly, if the pricing is simple, if there are real screenshots, and if the team/founder feels reachable.
Sometimes, a simple product with clear messaging feels more trustworthy than a very polished product with vague promises.
What do you personally check before trusting or trying a new SaaS product?
Every quarter, I set goals and then review how I did.
I started doing this two years ago after realising that New Year's resolutions simply don't work for me. To be fair, I don't always hit my quarterly goals either, but my success rate is much higher.
