Make something people feel.

by•
I know we are busy, super busy - I get it. We are all hacking away, working on our projects, which is great. The goal is to hit that sweet spot and really ship something that people want. I've been building products and solving problems for years and one thing that is true for almost any product that I use on the daily, is that - it makes me feel something. Relief, Happiness, more efficient, optimized, better organized, etc. I've been asking myself this question lately: Will the thing I'm building, make people feel something? Curious to see if anyone else is doing this? Spotify makes me feel, all the feels - how about you?

I agree completely! It's important to design a product that makes people feel a sense of accomplishment and success. There's no better feeling than getting success and good use out of a product!

I believe all products which have any product-market fit makes people feel. We've found better and better ways of explaining it, finding it etc. but I believe in the end that is what we as makers aspire to. It may not always be the most intense cry-in-the-rain feeling, but even the passing thought that "I am glad this exists" or even "that's cool" is something I definitely aim for as well when I build and hack away. Products like that for me are Youtube ("wow, I can't believe all this information is free for me") and AWS ("I can really start anything so simply and with low capital").

@bryanhojianan 100% man - I totally agree. I don't personally believe all products which have any product-market fit makes people feel something, but I can see your point on that and I have love for it.
