In college, I built a web app similar to this a social media for developers. I learned that the success of such platforms heavily depends on early user behavior and content quality. Quora initially thrived but declined due to repetitive, low-quality content. Reddit still holds on due to strong communities, though quality is slipping. Threads saw a spike at launch but lost users as spam took over. The biggest takeaway? Products built with Design Thinking tend to succeed. That means: • Surveying users • Identifying real problems before coding solutions • Constantly talking to users and iterating based on feedback I disagree with Shark Tank judges who criticize pivoting. Co-creation is key. Great products are not built in isolation they’re shaped with users. Kudos to the team behind this app. Rooting for your success!
