people obsess over distribution and simply ignore product. every week i see teams talking about growth loops, channels, paid vs organic, influencer seeding, while the product underneath is barely good enough to be remembered. instead, we should keep it painfully simple: your โ€œproduct dashboardโ€ before pmf should literally just be a list of users with: - who came back on their own - how often they came back - what they actually used then do this: - sort by users who returned without notifications or reminders - manually watch what they did in the product talk to them and ask one question: โ€œwhat would you be annoyed if this stopped working tomorrow?โ€ delete or ignore everything they didnโ€™t mention do this weekly. distribution can amplify demand, but it canโ€™t create it. if people donโ€™t come back unprompted, you donโ€™t have a growth problem, you have a product problem.

Most people donโ€™t see skincare resultsโ€”not because products donโ€™t work, but because they donโ€™t use them consistently. What if skincare came in a structured, pre-measured 7-day kit designed to be effortless and effective? No confusion. No wasted prod
