Takeaway:
Sometimes a simple feature with simple wording is far more useful than a sophisticated one.

My approach now:
Understand the user → Build → Put it in front of people → See what doesn't work → Fix it → Repeat.

Building isn't just writing code.

[Pravin Atigre @atigrepravin]

I thought I had built something great.
When I first demoed it to a customer, I was expecting:
“Wow!”
Instead, they said:
“Ye itna confusing kyun hai?” 😅(Why is this so confusing?)

[Pravin Atigre @atigrepravin]

Lesson:
People have their own way of working, expectations, and different levels of comfort with technology.

A feature that sounds great on paper can be useless if the person using it doesn't understand it.

I kept doing this everywhere — shopping sites, news, social media, Google searches… basically any webpage with a $ price.

Open another tab → check USD/INR → calculate → come back.

So I built NumTrans to handle the conversion right on the page.

[Pravin Atigre @atigrepravin]

I've been on X since 2010, but I've barely posted here.
Going to change that.
I'm building small, practical products and sharing the process along the way.

Starting with NumTrans — a tiny Chrome extension that converts $ prices to ₹ right on the page. 🇮🇳
