3. Unhook browser plugin lets you configure YouTube a lot.

4. YouTube time remaining browser plugin shows you the true time remaining when you watch things at a faster playback speed.

What are some papercuts that you have solved?

I've been trying to improve small annoyances when on the PC and mobile.

1. AutoHotKey with a custom script lets me type shortcut emojis so :o becomes :-O etc.

2. I didn't realise double tapping on the edge of a YouTube app video lets you rewind/fast forward 10 secs at a time.

Outlook (new) was a step backwards compared to Outlook Classic so I've been trying MailSpring.

I like how you can unify your inbox when using multiple email accounts.

What software are you using that is different from the masses?

UI should be simplified.

Don't you hate manually scanning the page to follow instructions instead of being able to click a link to the destination?

Especially when the docs and UI drift out of sync over time.

Finding patterns in customer support requests really helps guiding your roadmap.

They provide invaluable insights on any weaknesses with your product or documentation.

Let your users guide your feature development!

If you can't get any potential customers to talk to you now, how will you do that once you have a product?

Start building relationships early.

Ask questions, gather insights, and create value first.

They’ll be your best advocates later.

Have you ever noticed how many successful people credit their large social media audience for their achievements?

Imagine where you could be now if you started posting years ago.

What's holding you back? Start sharing your journey today.

The more you learn, the greater the sense of imposter syndrome you should feel.

There are always people who know a lot more than you.

Find those people and learn from them.

Growth happens outside your comfort zone.

I've worked out what marketing techniques I want to do, but know I will forget/lose focus.

So I'm using https://t.co/PFSOdlkMdQ to keep a log and hit my goals!

I won't see results on a daily basis but looking back after 6 months I know I will.

Automation is the key for any business, you need to be working on it, not in it.

For marketing, I set out a block of time and queue up all my social media. There are lots of tools that can do this.

What do you automate?

Build it and they will come.

No!

Build it, market it and they might come.

Creating an amazing product is just the start.

Get started on articles for SEO and inbound links for domain rank.

At the same time start cold outreach.

@notomarsol I'm trying to post and reply daily, starting from today! I'll go through your history for tips 🫡

@yoyokuoo I like how @posthog logs 'rage click' events. Your UI makes it clear as to what is wrong but the default state of a pair of eyes would confuse/distract me.

[Kevin @KevinUK]

@buildinpublic Made so much progress on the site, not so much on the marketing!

[Kevin @KevinUK]

When you implement a feature request and find your requester has ghosted you, it can be frustrating.

Remember, not every request leads to a long-term client.

Focus on understanding your target audience and their needs for better alignment.

Remember to keep that back straight when at your desk!

Adjust your desk to elbow height and your chair adjusted so your feet rest flat on the floor.

A little adjustment can make a big difference!

Feeling stuck on what to create next? Sometimes the best inspiration comes from your daily life.

I just built a social media tool that serves a specific need I noticed.

Take a look around you—there are ideas everywhere.

What will you build next?

I just went for a run due to advice from AI, what has AI encouraged you to do?

As a full-stack developer, I’ve learned that coding is the easy bit.
The hard part is getting customers! Consider leveraging the platforms where your target audience are most likely to hang out to connect with potential users, partners and mentors #FullStackDeveloper #StartupLife
