... very expensive way of functioning at work, especially when unpaid travel is a waste of time and money. So I am pretty lucky to be remote because I can dedicate time to work instead of travelling and am more focused. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @robert_nelson8  I like this. I was in Germany, and we started working at 10 am, ended at 6 or 7 pm. That kills your whole day.

... complementary tools, I d reach out and invite them to be notified about our launch. There's a LOT of cool products on here, we're already talking about integrations with some teams from our launch week cohort. Focus on relationships, not just promotion.

... been thinking about how a lot of learning and productivity tools assume the user is already well, focused. But what about the rest of us? The ones who start with good intentions but end up with 12 tabs, brain fog, missed timestamps, and a memory like a sieve? I wasn t a lazy student. I just had a chaotic brain that didn t respond well to daily planners or review cycles. My team isn't building a study ...

This mindset tends to be more common among people in their 20s/early 30s. I ve also noticed that those who were extremely focused

Now that we have specialists designers who like to deeply think through user flows, and engineers focused on clean architecture the quality of what we re shipping has leveled up dramatically. Our product no longer feels like a huge pile of features. But that also means our old ways of working don t work anymore ... ... better to get something in the hands of customers quickly and start learning.

... product passionates, I'm curious to hear your thoughts - we all have things we noticed we could have done differently after our first launch that could have helped us make it better.

... This admiration inspired me to build https://catapulta.lat . What is Catapulta? It is a (WIP) launch and discovery platform designed specifically for the new wave of digital innovation in Latin America.

While building this product I got to learn a lot about activity trackers, important and useless metrics, common mistakes and hidden gems.
