Most devs overthink product research.

I don’t.

I just open the App Store or Play Store.

Search my competitors. And go straight to the reviews section.

That’s where the real gold is.

Not the features. Not the UI. Not their landing page. The users.

You’ll find: • Frustrated users telling you what’s broken • Happy users telling you what to keep • Suggestions literally giving you your next features

This is raw, unfiltered product feedback. No surveys. No guesswork.

If 50 people are complaining about the same thing… That’s your opportunity.

If users are asking for a feature… That’s your roadmap.

Simple rule: Don’t build what you think. Build what users are already asking for.

That’s how you win.

Good ideas are common. Execution is where things fall apart.

I’ve seen products struggle not because of what they’re trying to do, but because they’re slow, unclear, or unreliable when people actually use them.

I focus on making products the way they should work, not just look complete.

I work directly with founders, keep things honest, and stay involved until it’s actually solid, not just at launch.

If you care about getting it right, we can talk.!

Monday Morning shannigangs. Nr. to doing analogue to digital practices.

1. Find an image of a subject you're interested in, or use your own. For references use Unsplash/Pixabay if you want copyright free images.

2. Print the reference so that you can put a sheet of paper on top of it. If you have a light table, even better because then you avoid the pain of holding a paper against a window, to see the reference underneath.

3. Use a timer to avoid overthinking. This allows to focus on shape language and not details.

Rinse and repeat

This is a practice I used to do a lot, which I am now revisiting. It allows for a fast iterative process to explore shape language, and find interesting angles. Preferably do it without digital tools, but up to you.

A beautiful landing page means nothing if it doesn’t convert.

Users don’t care about aesthetics first. They ask: “Is this for me?”

Clarity beats design every time. Your page’s job: make visitors feel understood, build trust, and guide the next step. https://calendly.com/akinayo59/new-meeting
