When I launched my first startup in 2016 I did everything wrong. Frustrated I began to study how Indie makers and people who build with no-code actually launched successful businesses. Applying what I learned I was finally able to get traction while launching Get Stackd (former PH #1) and creating a database of 150+ no-code projects with The Lean Side Project, which combined has helped 3000+ folks building a digital business find the best no-code tools to start making something. They help by turning what is in your out into the and into a business. I specialize in helping folks figure out what are the best no-code tools to use for their idea and how to start small. Here to answer any and all questions about no-code (building digital products/services without coding).

We built advanced automation tools for them last quarter, but our retention actually dropped because regular users felt the app became too bloated and hard to use. Finding that balance between power user depth and casual user simplicity is brutal. How do you decide when to say no to heavy feature requests?
There is a massive difference between listening to user feedback and letting paying customers steer your entire product roadmap.
We learned the hard way that most custom requests are just poorly explained band aids for a workflow problem they haven't figured out yet. If you reject their feature ideas how do you keep the relationship strong and show them value elsewhere?
Many love working remotely, but serendipity moments in the office can be lacking, "Serendipitous moments are those that can happen by chance, EX: like a coffee break that would happen through a physical structure."
