Last year I became the lead software engineer at a tech startup with 2 co-founders.
And today I am here to tell you about how that startup failed miserably so that you can learn from my mistakes and not waste 6 months working 70 hours a week on a startup with a grand total of $0 to show for it.

I like Steve Job's approach: he believed that the customers should use what he believed was good.
Good luck finding the intersection of “simple to build” and “unfair advantage”. Those two ideas are fundamentally at odds.
awsome video…sometimes we fail when we remain humble about things then finally we succeed
A ux designer was required
So you just failed and now you give yourself authority to startup coach and to suggest ideas you think have potential. In other words your money comes from bullshitting people with fake advice and does not come from following your own advice. Just another scammer marketer 🤮
If all of you were coders, then you lacked a visionary architect. Not trying to down play your coder skills.
But here's how I'd reiterate your product as a Productivity App.
We have a daily To do list.
What if your product actually helps with it rather than just simply having a list for people to tick off once they completed it.
Feature:
1. As per to do list, when a user clicks on the task all the relevant tabs opens up to do the due process
2. Anything that comes in as a new task, it will hold a priority score. High priority gets bumped up for you to do it first.
All of this defintily you got to work on ensuring there's a smooth sync to the 3rd party apps or paltform one needs to use to get the work done. In this manner you will actually be working towards solving a pain and provide real value to users who would pay for such feature or business owners would actually take on your product.
I build the ERP applications, big ones, all failed then my forth it's promising. I have sign ups paying for the product. The failed ones taught me how to do it right
Good video about over engineering a problem that is not really a problem
I checked it out. It’s actually a really cool app. For me I won’t ever use an app that requires a browser extension unfortunately.
Doesn’t sound like his heart wasn’t in it
