Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
You have launched a Minimum Viable Product, but you know damn well the work has just started. Improving your product from now on might feel like a shot in the dark, and you can easily take a wrong direction unless you know how to engage your first customers into product development cycle.
I’ll share one hack with you.
After you launch a new product, make sure to ask customers to evaluate it. There are services allowing you to ask customers about what you are doing well and how you can improve. Customers will be able to leave feedback on your site and vote for improvements and missing functionality all in a streamlined and polished manner. After you are done, you will be able to rely on user data to build your next feature, not on your gut.

Once you have done your current project, you can create the new one. But if you wish to work on more than one project with zipBoard, then it’s time to upgrade your plan.
