I've recently been enjoying listening to Khruangbin while I work. Mellow beats and not too lyrical.
I sometimes just need some background ambiance — coffitivity.com or imissmybar.com
You're welcome — I imagine it's hard trying to be thourough and concise at the same time!
There were a couple questions that took me a bit longer for the same reason. I'd have to start the survey again to find them.
If you find a good copywriter send them my way for more business 😂
Owner of burnout so definitely happy to have filled out the survey!
Tried my best but had troubling answering some questions due to the way they were worded.
Like "Do you feel you solve a meaningful customer problem?" is worded like a yes or no question, but the answer is formatted radio buttons broken into categories regarding levels of criticality and how often the things occur?
Now I'm not exactly sure if I understood the question you were asking 😅
I hope my feedback is useful!
@marcano, first thanks for filing out the survey. Second, yeah you are right. It is a yes and no question. It also asking how you see/categorize the problem you solve too.
I called myself combining questions to shorten the survey. Next, year I make sure to get a real pro copywriter to help me 😂
Was there any other questions that stick out for you? I can add helper text to them.

I've been toying around with a similar idea (in my head, so take any advice with grain of salt) after losing about 50lbs (~22kg) on Tim Ferriss' slow carb diet.
Basically this exact site but with a different diet.
Here are some thoughts and ideas I had from my experience that I was going to incorporate into my app. You're free to take whatever you'd like :)
Finding diet specific recipes on the internet isn't the hardest part of dieting, google does a pretty good job of that unless your diet is crazy niche. The hardest part for me was incorporating the diet into my daily life.
For me, a soulless meat machine, I could just find a few recipes to serve as a "staples" and eat them over and over again until I physically couldn't stand them anymore. For my girlfriend, a normal human being, she needed daily variety which required lots of meal planning.
Meal planning/prepping/cooking for a specific diet took so many hours and is the real pain in the ass. Picking recipes, building a shopping list, shopping, prepping, cooking, etc. I really think this is the biggest hurdle for most people when they try to diet. Especially if they aren't used to cooking for themselves (which is probably the untapped market of a dieting site).
I envisioned the perfect version of my app and picked features working backwards.
The site would email me on a Friday evening with a meal plan for the following week. Giving me a shopping list of everything I needed to shop for so no time was wasted in the grocery store. (save 2-3 hours per week)
Bonus if I could just one-click order on the meal plan and have the ingredients shipped to my house. ( I live in the US and was thinking of integrating with Instacart/amazon whole foods or something )... extra bonus for you if you can get affiliate marketing revenue through this
Each recipe may have not only ingredients, but also detailed cooking instructions for someone intimidated in the kitchen. — I liked using "Blue Apron" for this reason, their recipes did a good job walking someone through prep & cooking - www.blueapron.com/recipes/mus…
From here there are a million different product ideas (like tracking what the user may already have in their pantry from leftovers and recommending other meals that use those ingredients to cut down waste, metrics to track progress, etc)
But the main goal for would be to make dieting easier and more rewarding than not dieting... and there are a lot of points of friction to tackle outside of just listing recipes.
Hope I sparked some ideas, good luck and keep shipping!
I almost posted a Spotify link because I am literally the only person I know that uses Apple Music!
Now there are two!
Haha! I’ve been far too sucked into the ecosystem to use anything else! 😫
