🧠 Products solving ADHD problem
Hey, I started to dig deeper in this field around a month ago because I was diagnosed with ADHD, which led to losing focus. I have also found that some tricks keep me productive, such as time trackers (Pomodoro) or apps with gamification features or guiding you through small tasks and challenging yourself daily. Therefore, I've been thinking about building a smart to-do app. Let me know in the comments if you're suffering from ADHD, how you deal with it (what methods work for you, excluding medical treatment), or if you have an app that helps you stay focused.

PH Top Hunters 🦄
Name your top 5 hunters who actively contribute to a startup community by giving feedback to the founders or helping with promo. I also discovered a few cases where hunters showed zero interest in the product they hunt, which makes no sense whatsoever. Here are some thoughts on why it happens Do your homework! Check the hunter's background and profile (to see what they're into); Make sure to send an e-mail or DM a week or so before the release (not the day before); Ask questions and show interest in the hunter rather than his subscribers. Make friends and partners. There's no way anyone wants to be used as a source; Give first. Try asking yourself, "why should he care?" It can give you an idea of how to start the request on a positive note with an offer (like a free product). Be personalized. Sending cold emails, DM's or templates doesn't work.
How many people do you have on your team (full-time)?
Curious, how many people do you need to build and launch great products? We have a team of 20 people who make and ship the product, but I sometimes see the same outcome in teams of only two people (or even solopreneurs)
