Your customers can talk about themselves better than you will ever do
That's the whole point of interviewing them
You can then use their words to make much better marketing materials

Seeing users reporting bugs makes me happy
Because it means:
- I have customers
- They use the app
- They care enough to want it to be fixed
Much better than having perfect code with no users

Those ads alone grew my previous startup from $0 to $1,000 MRR
No videos, no fancy design, just a simple static ad
It worked because:
- I knew who the target audience was
- The ad was talking about them and their problems
- I had a good landing page/funnel

The B2B SaaS I sold a month ago was stuck at $100 MRR for almost 8 months
It all changed when I added a proper onboarding
The most important part:
Don’t send users to a basic “signup” page.
It’s boring, and it feels like they’re just giving you their email and will get spammed

I A/B tested a shiny new onboarding on my app, where users can jump right in, book a demo call or do a guided tour. It looks better and is smoother than my old one.
I assumed it would improve the conversion rate
Turns out, it performs 70% worse than my old onboarding

A few days ago I noticed Cursor has a "Bug Finder" tab that goes through all your current commits and tells you where possible bugs and issues
(in the tabs next to chat and composer)
And holly shit it's good! A few false positives, but it noticed bugs that would have caused big issues later
