sure. happy to chat. ping me at austin [@] initialized [.] com

thanks for the comment. agree that chasing after the "wrong" customers is a whole pitfall unto it's own. Nothing here says you need to chose your user based on existing top of funn…

completely agree. most "Critical User Journey" articles are written by UX or product designers. this article was meant to be an introduction to show how any product, startup, or co…

thanks andrew. glad that you thought it was valuable. you summed it up quite well. it is very easy to lose sight of what your users go through for the first time every day when you…

Yeah… we completely agree. The idea of a "personal network" is definitely right but the real problem is that not everyone fits the same mold of "friends". much less a subset of 50 …

The idea of a personal network is a good one but the problem is that there isn't just 1 personal network but clusters of networks. how do you address the different type of interact…

definitely... in the middle of a large rewrite to address server side things as well as front facing speed/usability issues. after the dust settles and we get the fridge humming we…

thanks! working on a faster/less janky version to be released anyday...
