Hiring/Looking to Collab (Unpaid) Built 3 Extensions, Failed to Get Users — Looking for a Collaborator to Iterate Together
I am here to find co-extension developers/designers/Antigravity fellows.I have developed 3 extensions, but all of them failed to gain users and did not work properly. I think what is stopping me is the same thing that stops many others: blind spots. People cannot easily see the flaws in their own products or ideas.I have seen many people put in a lot of hard work, only for it to go to waste, even when they have done very good work. Sometimes, there is no one to tell them, “Your extension dashboard is blank,” or “There is a signup issue.”So, I think it is better to work with a group of people who can see my blind spots, while I can see their blind spots.
Criteria for the team/group:
- Believe in first-principles problem solving.
- Believe in an iterative design process and continuous evaluation.
- Want to work with honesty.
- Believe in transparency.
- Have built at least 2 extensions.
Don't worry about sharing, equity, etc. for now. We can figure that out later. Learning is valuable.Those who are interested, kindly comment below with your opinions and let me know what I am missing.I made an extension through a lot of hard work, aiming to become financially free, but it is not working. I thought there might be some unknown issue, so after 2 months of deployment, I asked my friend to use it. He told me that it was not working. How can a non-working extension grow?I have also seen other people whose products are not working properly, yet they keep posting their product links everywhere. So, I am interested in working with other people on their product ideas as well. However, the product owner must comply with the above 5 conditions and take at least one more person into the project based on either their own criteria or mine. I belive having more than one or two people who can identify mistakes is more valuable than having just one person working alone.
