... Spend three weeks on creating a sleek 90-second video onboarding, professional audio, custom animation and all the bells and whistles. Pitted it against onboarding process with no videos but just three short text instructions and a screen shot. The text-only version showed a higher percentage of completion.

I m working on it, because sometimes I run before the whistle =D So now I m curious: What s your strongest skill or behavior as a maker? Are our strongest traits something we re born with, or can we build them through practice? And what s the one trait ...

... signs for good/bad collaborations before they happen? How do you filter these invites? Comment from Rivra(@rivra_dev): Great question, Nika. Hindsight really is 20/20 in the startup world.

Roundups could facilitate email distribution directly. It wouldn't have all of the bells and whistles that those other email platforms have, but it doesn't need to.

... serious AI-fatigue lately. It's as if a product doesn't deserve to exist in today's world without an AI component. Are there still straightforward problem-solving products out there without all the unnecessary AI bells and whistles? P.S. I'm not saying AI is bad, but there are just too many products that are 'AI for the sake of AI' Comment from Andrew Stewart(@andrew_g_stewart): Are there any products left that are completely AI-free ...
