Launch your startup with level 4!
This month marked a bunch of changes for us, but the one we are happiest about is finishing up our step-by-step guidance. We now have all four levels released, to help you and other founders with stepping through; Research, Validation, Refining, and now Launching your startup!
You can find the Level 4: Launch, in the Journey page with the rest of our guidance levels.
The focus as you probably guessed, is to help you build and launch your MVP so you can get your first customer.
On another note, you might notice that our navigation UI has changed, with the addition of a left hand navigation pane for desktop, and short cut keys in a bottom navigation stripe for mobile users. We hope this makes navigation easier on whatever device you are on.
Other updates and bug fixes
Updates:
We had to remove the Time Breakdown tool due to OpenAI changes breaking the tool. We will revisit and update our prompts to make the tool more consistent and stable
All AI Chat areas have been updated to AI Copilot for consistency
Decreased end-of-level congrats picture for better layout and experience on smaller screens
Table of Contents now only shows the intro levels to help with navigation within the level. The feedback we got said that showing all the questions made it harder to navigate. Since each level only has a handful of questions this is our best fix until we can do a larger refresh. You can always use the level one-pager to see a summary of your answers for each question.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed UI bug with header and left-hand navigation pan
Fixed scrolling bug with header that popped up with the new navigation UI update
Fixed broken links that were missed during the rebrand
