Perhaps I should clarify why we believe HintPod can help businesses achieve product-market fit. HintPod isn’t an app, it’s a plugin that integrates directly inside other apps (kinda like intercom).

I believe this helps businesses reach validation because they can see if their users are actually engaging with their vision. General analytics can show engagement with the app as a product, but engaging in a community hub inside a mobile app shows engagement between the user and the business’ vision.

Additionally, by following suggestions from their users, businesses can improve on their app and build a better product that they know their target audience actually wants.

HintPod gives businesses validation and helps them build a better product for their users. This is done through the plugin that enables a community hub directly inside the app. And through this, they can get closer to finding product-market fit.

I agree it isn’t enough on its own, but it can facilitate this.

I think the thing being said here is that market fit is a known exercise often practiced as part of funding raises or model validation before products are built. This tool seems like a really cool tool for rating and Ranking items in a Product Roadmaping exercise

Right, I see. Thanks for explaining that. Perhaps we should use a different way to describe it. I do think it helps businesses understand their customers better, but perhaps this isn’t the way to describe it.
