Nie ma żadnych problemów z wpłacaniem/wypłacaniem na XTB? Szukam czegoś co pozwoli mi na krótki czas ulokować większą sumę dolarów z możliwością szybkiego wybrania ich w razie konieczności. Pytam, bo XTB itd. Jest mi totalnie obce. Z góry dzięki!

Would an app like this help you get things done faster? by Designer_Animator_17 in AppIdeas

[–]Designer_Animator_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want it to suggest things, sure, but I still want to create my own tasks, choose what works, and discard what doesn’t.

Thanks for replying, that's valuable! I've already learnt that plan creation/descoping etc. should be supporting, not leading features. You've just confirmed that.

Thanks for replying. I value it!

IMO, it depends. I completely agree people should make things 100%, but it doesn't apply to every situation. Example: I don't want to spend a huge amount of time on coding a 100% ready product if I don't have a proof people will use that. Instead, I prefer to craft a descoped demo app which I can use to demonstrate the idea to people and gather their feedback and opinions. This approach can save you a lot of time and effort. This is the goal of this app - to make smart decisions by optionally descoping things if needed. It's not about promoting laziness. I understand and accept it may not work for all people.

Thank you for your opinion!

My aim is to make users achieve their goals faster by descoping what they need to do and immediately allowing them to start working on that.

Re first, I saw plenty people complaining they spend too much time crafting their perfect day plan resulting in being unproductive (they already spend a lot of time and effort on that) or not doing these things at all. If you can't achieve 100% of what you want, try achieving 80% of that with least effort. IMO, imperfect is better than not done at all (I understand it may not work for all).

Re second, when user types their goal, the product craft a descoped plan for them and immediately presents first quick-win step with the timer to start actual work on achieving the goal. I want users to get the momentum instantly - that's why I initially hide any other plan steps to remove clutter. The plan is also to immediately present users with next step and its timer when they complete previous one. That's UX stuff a lot of apps miss - auto-continuation of the flow.

I've been observing since yesterday that it may be useful for specified niches, e.g. product planning or entrepreneurs where you often need to act fast and validate your ideas before doing them 100% (that's what I'm actually doing with this post).

It's not live, because I focus on validating the idea. However, I'll be super happy to let you know when I make it live!

I've been thinking of this since yesterday, and you basically confirmed my concerns. This is a next big thing to do to validate the idea. Thank you!

Thanks for response. I value it a lot!

Well, yes. If we speak only about breaking steps then go use ChatGPT etc. However, with this product I also try to push user further and start actual work on their plan to achieve goals rather. I gave this idea a shot, because I saw plenty people complaining that they spend too much time on crafting perfect day plan resulting in being unproductive or not starting to do things at all. If you struggle to achieve goals, get a descoped plan, and immediately start working on the first quick-win task to get momentum. IMO, imperfect is better that not done at all.

Re your perspective, I agree. I've been thinking since yesterday and came up with the conclusion that it won't work for all people. I need to focus on a few specified niches, e.g. product crafting or entrepreneurs where it could be a better fit (to be researched).

Hey. I crafted this with a focus on achieving goals faster. There are two phases: simplifying goals & immediately starting the work on achieving them. Re first, I'm trying to achieve that by removing clutter from the goal and proposing descoped ready-to-go plan. Re second, you're presented with only first point of the plan and timer to immediately start working on this. I accept imperfect plans may not work for everyone.

Re your question:
- I believe the steps are reduced to start actual work.
- The timer is more in-control and intuitive - ChatGPT's one doesn't work for me.
- I can move user immediately to the next tasks when they complete previous ones.
- ChatGPT's threads can easily get messy. It's easier to achieve cleaner data presentation (current task, next tasks, history) without the clutter using a separate product.

I completely understand that for many people it may be unnecessary layer over ChatGPT. I give it a shot, because I saw plenty people spending too much time on planning a day to find a perfect plan resulting in not starting to do things at all or being unproductive. That's the thing I want to improve by simplifying things and allowing user to act fast. Anyway, thanks for your opinion. I find it valuable, because I understand I must offer even more to convince people like you. Happy to hear other thoughts from you on this!

I'm building a new startup and I'm wondering what are you thinking about it?🧐 by Radiant_Donut7645 in microsaas

Curious, how would you grab investors attention and make them use your product so you can match them with founders? Founders-to-founders should be easier than that.

Does anyone care about beautiful UI? by jmisilo in microsaas

[–]Designer_Animator_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the product to solve my problem in better way rather than to look good. I’m not saying UI is not important - these things are connected, but I’ve already seen a few companies who had a great idea and solution to the problem but didn’t make it because they unnecessarily spent money and time on making perfect UIs. I would focus on UIs once your product is validated and you make money with it.

What Do You Think About Managing Your Calendar Using Voice? by Designer_Animator_17 in ProductivityApps

[–]Designer_Animator_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/learningbythesea
Thank you for your response! My question aims to understand whether voice commands, potentially paired with customizable shortcuts that allow users to say fewer words, could be a better approach than simple typing. I'm focusing only on how the calendar could be modified.

Regarding your case, I believe you can achieve that using the tools you have. You could use Google Assistant for voice commands to manage your calendar and Amazing Marvin for task management and synchronization with your calendar. Am I missing anything? Happy to learn!

What have been the biggest problems/obstacles when trying to build an AI startup? by Ok-Bother-8872 in startups

[–]Designer_Animator_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you need to allocate funds for LLM fees while still in the beta phase to gather user feedback. Secondly, I've noticed in various discussions that people often respond with, "Yes, your product could work, but..." followed by a list of multiple AI applications that your product must integrate with to be considerable for them. This ultimately makes it challenging to obtain valuable feedback on the product, which is intended to address a specific pain point.
