Ugly baby syndrome. 😅
When somebody has an ugly baby, they see past all of the flaws and see their beautiful child (as you should!)
Sadly - I feel like a lot of founders (myself included) - sometimes treat their product like it’s the same thing 🙈
I was hit hard with this "ugly baby syndrome"...
My app had become a frankenstein of features, rushed & never quite hitting the mark, nor meeting expectations. I could feel it, and yet - I found myself struggling to see how badly it was impacting us. 😕
In the last 2.5 weeks of sponsorship from Impactive IT, I've had the chance to give my baby the face lift she deserves - And we're finally ready to fulfill our mission of enabling local communities to THRIVE.
Since this time I've had the pleasure of working on:
📍 Our brand new crime map.
🌍 Introducing public local communities.
🎨 Overhauling the entire UX/UI.
🏗️ Building communities, trips, and posts with QUALITY.
🎥 Getting live stream ready.
🎤 Getting street interview ready.
😄 Putting my mug back onto TikTok again.
The fun is only just starting as I look forward to a lot of getting my face out into the public now, and beginning some awesome conversations with potential partners & organisation/community leaders across the UK 🙌
To all my founder connections, stop looking at your product like it's your baby. Be honest with yourself and fix up! ✊
Would love to hear any feedback or thoughts on our new designs, or if you fancy a chat about our mission and getting involved - Get in touch 👋 😄
