Trying to create things that "make people's lives better" brings up tons of existential questions.

How *deeply* do you care about people?

There's a few creative ways for people to use software "in public:"

- on screencasts
- in blog posts
- as a badge on a website "Powered by"

☝️Been thinking a lot about how important it is for potential customers to "see your product used in public."

When you walk through a hot desert you dream of an ice cold glass of water. 🌵

Folks need to be thirsty for your product in the same way.

MP3s were the existing trend.

Having to download them illegally on spammy sites like Limewire was the gap.

iTunes was the solution.

3. This is why startups should always find a good group of potential customers *before* researching product ideas.

1. Best course software I’ve found
2. Super responsive team + support
3. Built-in landing pages + email + drips

My point (and the point of #jtbd) is that we're not in the software business; we're in the progress business.

The "form" is secondary.

My guess is that Salesforce succeeded because sales teams are very hierarchical.

There's a clear team team leader who makes decisions.

2. A big splashy launch on Product Hunt / TechCrunch doesn't always translate to success...

Your idea might be "cool" but not useful.

Personally what makes me upgrade is the camera. I upgraded last year to the iPhone 6s 128 GB for a better camera experience.

Our brains can't constantly be evaluating whether there's a "better solution" out there.

Eventually, we choose and settle.

I volunteered to watch my friend's skateboard shop while he's away (@oksk8co).

Observation: tech specs mean nothing. It's all look + feel.
