About
Hello. I'm John, an indie dev and product designer. I design and build apps and software for tech startups with a single goal in mind: to make disruptive, user-centric experiences that incite change. I believe the future is exciting, now more than ever, and as product makers we can contribute to digital impact when we design our products with innovation in mind. It's always exciting to connect with fellow makers. Feel free to reach out 🖐🏽🖐🏽! Ok, I'll shut up now. So, what are you making?

Users don't Care About Your Idea
Most startups start with this mindset: "I have an idea for an app / software / business. It helps users achieve ****. It's gonna be the next big thing."
This is wrong, as:
1. it assumes that you already know what users want (no one exactly does). 2. It doesn't consider that users are not patiently waiting for your app/software and may be already using something similar.
Feel like a fraud sometimes? How do you overcome imposter syndrome?
Have you ever had the thought you ve only succeeded due to luck and not because of your talent or qualifications? And thus, don't feel like you deserve to be where you are? What are your tips and tricks to get your head straight again?
