How do you make a product that people want?

Amberdata Achievements — September 7

You can’t solve a problem for someone if you don’t know exactly what problem they are experiencing. I previously talked about this, however there is a second side needed to get good results.
The key is people. The recipe follows a similar model to dating —
Foster relationships with current or potential clients
- Grab coffee, keep it low key
- Ask questions that work toward a hypothesis
- Hypothesis: Users want to create API Keys
- Example Question: Would you like access to our data, to integrate into your product?
- Hypothesis: Users want to create their own dashboard
- Example Question: Is the information in this dashboard helpful to you, or are there data points that would make it better? - Keep track of the results, iterate with them on ideas & solutions
I use the same google form that I send out, to keep track of results.
What gives me the most joy? Delighting people with an experience that is simple, solves a pain point & most importantly — reduces friction.
Takeaway: What product changes can you make to delight clients?
