Some tips for bringing your own product to life. I couldn't capture everything in the video, but here are some things we learned the hardway lol: P.S. Comment "flow" for early bird prices and to become a VIP for the Kickstarter for $1 1️⃣ Validate your idea before you spend time, energy and money on it You can do this by making an MVP or even just a simple landing page to check for interest. There's never been a better time to build an audience around your product with social media, so you can get a lot of traction and interest by sharing the process online! 2️⃣ Speak in the same "language" as your manufacturers and get clear on what THEY need to make your product. I don't mean their actual language, whatever your native language is works just fine. But you need to know how they handle the specifications needed to bring your product to life. For example, in packaging there's die cut templates, and in electronics and software there's state transitions. Always give them wayyyy too much information, and never let a manufacturer make UX decisions for you like we did at the start. 3️⃣ TEST EVERYTHING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. We waited this long (over 1.5 years) to launch the Kickstarter, because we wanted to make sure everything was right and that we were ready for manufacturing and confident in the product. This way you can build trust with your customers, and also make sure you deliver something great. Good luck. And make sure to join our Kickstarter for the Flow Timer - launching this August! #productdesign #buildinpublic #startuplife #pomodorotechnique

We built this to help you beat procrastination. We're using the Pomodoro Method in a productivity timer that was purpose-built to help you focus. ***Comment "Flow Timer" for Early Bird Prices and to sign up for the Kickstarter VIP list perks*** So, how does the Pomodoro method help? 1️⃣ It gives you a finish line. When you know you only have to work for 25 minutes, it feels way less intimidating than “working all day.” That little timer makes starting so much easier. 2️⃣ It beats overwhelm. Big tasks feel impossible when you’re staring at the whole thing. But breaking it into bite-sized sprints makes it feel doable. 3️⃣ It trains your brain to focus. Your brain is like a muscle. Regular Pomodoro sessions actually build your ability to stay on task longer without getting distracted. 4️⃣ It builds momentum. Procrastination thrives on inertia. Once you start, you’re much more likely to keep going. Those first 25 minutes kickstart the flow. 5️⃣ It protects your energy. The short breaks in between let you recharge and avoid burnout, so you can actually sustain focus for hours instead of crashing. We've made a beautiful, functional device that you can take anywhere you want to focus. And we're launching on Kickstarter this August. Don't miss out!

How to turn an ugly prototype into a beautiful (almost) production-ready product… Over the past year, we’ve been iterating and iterating on the Flow Timer. And we’ll be launching it on Kickstarter this August! Comment “Flow Timer” and we’ll send you the link 🙏 It’s a minimal, purpose-built productivity timer built to help you overcome distraction and procrastination with the pomodoro method. We started with mood boards and taking inspiration from amazing designs out there, but we tried to make it our own. Also we’ve been collaborating with our community to make a product not just for us, but for you. P.S. Here are the 10 Principles of Good Design according to Dieter Rams. How many of them can you spot in the Flow Timer? 👀 1️⃣ Good design is innovative 2️⃣ Good design makes a product useful 3️⃣ Good design is aesthetic 4️⃣ Good design makes a product understandable 5️⃣ Good design is unobtrusive 6️⃣ Good design is honest 7️⃣ Good design is long-lasting 8️⃣ Good design is thorough, down to the last detail 9️⃣ Good design is environmentally friendly 🔟 Good design is as little design as possible #industrialdesign #productdesign #pomodoromethod #minimalism #rendertoreality #buildinpublic
