When I started building my first product, I thought the hardest part would be writing content.
I was wrong.
The hardest part was answering one question:
Why should anyone trust what I'm building?
That question changed everything.
Instead of thinking about publishing more articles, I started thinking about whether every article would genuinely deserve someone's time.
Today, AI can generate thousands of articles in minutes.
Publishing isn't difficult anymore.
Earning trust is.
That completely changed how I'm building my project.
Every feature now has to answer one simple question:
Does this actually help someone learn better?
If the answer is no, it doesn't get built.
I'm still early in the journey, but it's already taught me something valuable:
People don't remember websites that publish the most. They remember the ones who consistently respect their time.
I'm curious...
Has building your own product changed the way you use the internet?
I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.
P.S. The project I'm building is called ReadRiff. It's still in development, and I'm documenting the journey here. If you're curious, you can find it in my profile.
