We wanted to keep social proof as a theme in mind as we believe amplifying customers' voices, celebrating them, and building trust is what Shoutout is all about π―
And we couldn't find a better way to express it as a logo than the megaphone π£
A few days ago, I put a bat signal looking for logo designers and found incredible people.
No-code played a huge role in the last 3yrs of my maker journey, and along the way, I learned so many things apart from building products.
Here are some side effects you get when you build using no-code
β
1/ Learn how to design user flows:
Before building, you got to think about the workflow of your product from a user's perspective. This exercise helps you think about the UX and how you can focus on making frictionless experiences.
2/ Learn how to prioritize and scope your product:
Everyone wants to build the next big thing, but it all starts when you focus on what's important to your user and how fast can you build features.
Scoping and descoping will become a habit once you start using no-code.
As I'm preparing to join @ProductHunt, I studied many community builders and founders. Here are some tactics and lessons I learned π

1/ Build a give-first and value-first mindset:
The fundamentals of community building are tied to principles of giving what you have and sharing what you know(value). Ask yourself what you can offer and wholeheartedly put it out so others can benefit from it.
2/ Play infinite games:
Community building is an infinite game to play with long-term players. It is not a game to play to win. It is a pie that everyone can share and should be played to benefit each other.
Build that level of culture that drives communities to last longer.
I just went through all of @JamesClearβs 3-2-1 newsletter editions and here are 100 ideas from the man himself that are invaluable and shouldn't be missed

1/ βStart now. Optimize later. An imperfect start can always be improved, but obsessing over a perfect plan will never take you anywhere on its own.β
2/ βWhen making plans, think big. When making progress, think small.β
3/ βHabits will form whether you want them or not. Whatever you repeat, you reinforce.β
4/ βLife is short. And if life is short, then moving quickly matters. Launch the product. Write the book. Ask the question. Take the chance.
Be thoughtful, but get moving.β
