Optimizing digital product design with real-world observations
When you build digital products, you usually make a lot of assumptions about the people using it.
Often, those assumptions turn out to not work the way you thought of; and it is even harder to uncover why this is the case. …
Some time ago, I have written about predictive analytics, which describes, among other things, the essential idea behind my previous startup Placedise.
