Heya web3 builders, hows your week going? These past 10 days I delivered two web3 flows, one to Blocksquare and the new client on the block FX1 which has trusted me with their Staking Interfaces. Implemented quite some new features. As I am going through these iterations of building flows and widgets for these customers some of my initial assumptions are being tested and I'm learning along the way. I wanted to reflect on a few of them: 1. People just want widgets that they can use. Which means, many times they want me to set them up for them. However once they are set up, and they use them, they are more open to editing their settings. That being said, since I'm in MVP stage I still don't have edit capabilities so that is something to think of. 2. Decentralization is not as a major selling point as I thought Most folks have their dApps and interfaces hosted centrally so when I come in with the IPFS solution (which I try to mention as rarely as possible) its been my experience so far that fast, quick and secure are more key than where it is hosted. For this I am contemplating allowing users to choose between: A) USDC Payments, Tableland and IPFS combo or a B) centralized DB and credit cards. Many web3 companies have bank accounts and are open to getting invoiced 3. Is it a good to have only? Most startups die because their solution is 'good to have' and not a deep-pain relief type of application or service (I've experienced this first hand). I believe it can become a major pain-solver but it does need more development paired with more marketing. Next steps for me are to bulid an 'examples' page of different interfaces I'm building. Again its early days, but as always sharing my progress here with the public to keep myself accountable #buildInPublic
