Announcement: Product Design AMA [LIVESTREAM] on May 12th

Hey fellow makers:

I want to do something cool, the indie hacker way. Hear me out πŸ‘€:

I've been reading and posting on Indiehackers for a while now, I spend hours on this site every day, it is a big part of what's keeping me sane during these lockdown times. πŸ˜‡

Time to give back!
We're all hustlers but we're not here to turn you into a number, so what's a better way than creating something for makers...something fun, like a live-stream? (YES IT WILL BE RECORDED)

Some questions we'll answer (sourced from Twitter):

  • What's product design and how is it different from design?

  • Where do you find the best inspiration for productdesign?

  • How do you version the various iteration of your designs?

  • My sideproject failed. I need a job. How do I negotiate my product designer salary?

Yup a live stream!
Personally, I've always wanted to create a maker-livestream focused on design and user acq.

Luckily, my supergoodfriend @nxAlessandro with whom I've been working and hanging out for years, thought it would be a good idea! So here we are planning to do a Product Design focused stream as our FIRST stream.

😻He even bought one of those El-gato, $200, streaming-card so we can make this happen professionally! We're serious business!

#Β Why you should join? What's in it for you?

We've been preparing for this our whole lockdown!!!

  • We're going to talk about the current state of indie hacker product design - tips and tricks from the trenches (design systems? bootstrap? tailwind? UI packs? figma? sketch?)
  • We're going to VISUALLY tear down products and pages and SHOW you how WE would improve each page to increase SALES, LEADS and SIGN-UPS.
  • We're going to show you how you can design things in a CLEAR and EASY way, to convert more when needed
  • We'll answer ALL YOUR questions if you post them below during the LIVE stream πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

#Β Why should I care?

We just want to spend time with makers and help out as we can. Personally we've got 15 years of startup experience combined. We've worked for small companies and now working on our own projects (you'll hear a little bit more during the live-stream if you're interested).

We've gone through ramen phases and pizza phases...and like most of us we're still waiting for that sweet sweet caviar phase.

So don't be shy - submit your landing page and product design questions and we'll answer them for you (with timestamps!)

Interested? Add yourself to the reminder spreadsheet below - I'll send you an email from my personal address 24h before the livestream with a reminder + URL - no funny business i promise, I'm NOT trying to build a list off your back!

    Hi Orlie,

    if you want you can review my new landing page https://meetfriends.app and or the actual app on the iPhone. Not sure how easily you can stream from the iPhone screen though.

    I'm not a product designer, but I now used Figma for the first time as editor to recreate some app screenshots for the cards you see on the page.

    Best,
    Kai

      Thanks for sharing! Sounds like we can definitely screenshot it and bring it to the table somehow!

    Hi. It will be an honor if you take a look at the alfa version of the ManyLetter landing page at https://manyletter.com during the live session.

    I would like to know how to communicate the benefits of the service that have two possible audiences. In this case, creators and subscribers of newsletters. Is it even possible, or should we focus on a specific audience to get more impact? I know that these kinds of services having hard times when they are trying to attract both sides at once and that it's one of the most challenging service models to promote. How would you approach it?

    Thank you for doing this live session, and I'm looking forward to it.
