Excerpt from a conversational YouTube discussion about building a product for an engaged community. Speakers describe receiving heavy, informal feedback from early users and peers, and the resulting need to curate and prioritize feature requests as the platform grows. The speaker enjoys community involvement but notes increasing difficulty implementing every requested feature.
Well, that's the fun part of building it for a community, right? So you send me a lot of feedback. Jonah, in the beginning, used to send me feedback. Ohad from new funds sends me feedback. Bill Burn, right, Sends me feedback. Like a ton of people using the platform, which are now like, we're all friends, we're all neighbors, we all know each other, we're all in this together, send me feedback. Now, my day job is in product and in product development and all that, so there's a lot of curating. What are good ideas, what are bad ideas, what's actually going to make a difference. And where it's becoming challenging now is as it grows. I can't just implement every single feature everybody wants because there might be something you want that somebody else is going to go, wait, wait, wait, wait, like, why are you doing this? But it's, it's just. It's fun when you're building it for a community and then the community is engaged in it. Right? Yeah.
I've loved seeing the features pop up. You ping me now being like, hey, I added this thing. I'm like.
