The growth trap

 One product I really like is Moov. The idea is amazing, but now when I checked their app store and social media, they seem to be abandoned.

No new posts since 2018 and no new app updates for over 2 years. What does it mean for me as a user?

My confidence in this product is shaken. Would there be an adequate support? Will I receive new updates?

Another great product I enjoy is TypeMatrix. They seemed to share the same social media silence.

How come good products gave up on being noticeable?

Posting is for free, but people judge your products by the amount of engagement you have.

Maybe they had created their tribe of fans buying their services and they don't need additional market share? I doubt it.

Companies are hurt when they lack UX Content Strategy. And this is something we can all take away.

You might have the best product or service, but if you are unable to promote it daily and reach out to your target customers, it will be very hard for you to be successful!

Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
