Hi! My name’s Amir. I’m a Web3 Community Manager and a podcast host. To improve the reach of my podcast, 2 months ago, I tried the Rask.ai platform, and have edited over 10 hours of footage since. In this review, I’ll go into the challenges Rask.ai can solve for you, its features, and the pros/cons of the platform. What Is Rask.ai, and Why Did I Buy It? Essentially, Rask.ai is a platform that uses AI for video/audio localization and repurposing. By repurposing, I mean auto reframing to vertical format, and auto-editing long videos to capture the most interesting moments. Rask.ai poses itself as a platform that has all the AI features for content makers in one place, a one-stop-shop of some sort. In one subscription, you get all the AI tools you would need to make your video content better. The main purpose that I had in mind when checking out Rask.ai was to increase the reach of my podcast on TikTok and YouTube. The podcast originally is in Kazakh, but to expand the potential audience and potential advertisers, I was looking for ways to target the English-speaking market as well. Price, Interface, and Functionality The platform is very flexible when it comes to pricing: you have 3 options to choose from, which vary by the price, the amount of minutes, and other available features. Honestly, I think the only metric you should really look at is the amount of minutes, as it will influence your work the most. I’ve picked the second plan, Creator Pro. It includes 100 minutes of edited footage per month and costs me $120. They also offer a plan for $50 and 25 minutes, as well as a corporate plan - $600 and 500 minutes. The biggest plan the platform offers is enterprise, which starts at 2000 minutes with a custom price. Note that all prices are correct if you pay annually - plans with monthly payments will be ~15% more expensive. Last month, I had 2 podcasts instead of one, and I ran out of minutes on my regular plan. However, you can always buy additional minutes at a $3 rate. Setting up the account is very easy (as it should be in 2024): you can use your Google account to log in or create the account with your email. The interface is very clean and isn’t overloaded by different buttons and links. You have FAQ and customer support at the top right corner, accessible from any page, so if you get a bit confused, there’s always that. I can’t say that I’m a tech guru of any kind, but I got used to the website in a matter of minutes. I’ve never worked with a mobile version of the site as I always store all raw footage on my Mac, but if you’re editing a small TikTok/Reels, you can easily do it from your phone. What Does Rask.ai Do, and How Do I Use It? The platform has 2 main features: localization and shorts. Let’s start with the first one, which became a selling point for me. You download a video from your device or paste a link from YouTube or Google Drive, choose the number of speakers, original language, and the language you want to translate the video to, and click “translate.” After that, the magic begins. In a matter of minutes (depending on the length of the video), you get the same video but translated to a different language. The voice-over keeps the voice’s depth, tone, and emotion, and even creates a lip sync, so the video footage is similar to the audio. How do I use that feature? Before discovering Rask.ai, in order to reach the English-speaking market, I was adding EN subtitles to all my podcasts. However, that approach was far from ideal as I was always encountering many barriers: Time-consumption. The current speech-to-text AI solutions are very far from perfect. On 100 AI-generated subtitles, I was getting ~30 errors that I needed to edit manually. Scale that to hours of footage and thousands of text, and you get yourself many hours of manual work.


Accessibility. Subtitles can’t be a permanent solution to expand your foreign audience, especially when it comes to podcasts. When was the last time you paid attention to video footage on a podcast? People listen to them while exercising, cooking, cleaning, and working. My podcast gets 40% more listeners on Spotify and Google Podcasts (which don’t have video) vs YouTube (which has video), meaning that people aren’t looking at the screen and subtitles when listening.


Retention. Even if a person bothers to actively read the subtitles, they still are getting less than people watching the original. Many intonations, jokes, or facial expressions are just not working when perceptive through text. Listeners are too busy reading to actually relax and enjoy the podcast. The Rask.ai platform solved all these problems for me. The amount of manual work I had to do had decreased to practically 0, since in 2 months of using the platform, I haven’t encountered any errors in translations. The retention improved a lot as well: YouTube has statistics that show you how many people watch your videos until the end, and this number significantly improved, since your listeners can actually LISTEN instead of reading. Another feature that I didn’t even know about when getting the subscription to Rask.ai is Shorts. Basically, it takes your hour-long footage and splits the most interesting moments into many short vertical videos. As you probably know, one of the best ways to promote your podcast in 2024 is to share these videos on TikTok, Shorts, and Reels, because these platforms have much better recommendation systems than YouTube, and putting the link to the full podcast in your bio. That’s how I personally discovered many of my favorite podcasts and began to host them myself. Before discovering that feature, I had a friend on a part-time salary doing that for me, because apart from the podcast, I also have a full-time job in Web3 that is taking a significant part of my day. Creating 15 short videos from one podcast took us about 5-6 hours of manual work since you have to fully watch the podcast, then edit all shorts separately, and add some graphics and subtitles. When I discovered a shorts feature on Rask.ai, the same amount of work took me from 5 to 10 minutes (again, depending on the length of the footage). This let me cut my editorial costs down to the sole price of my Rask.ai plan, without having to pay the salary to a whole person doing that. And you say AI won’t take our jobs :) There are a couple of smaller features that I haven’t really tested a lot until today, but I’m planning on exploring them in the future as well. For example, subtitles generation, and API for translations. The company also plans on integrating some features that I’m really excited about: AI video generation (Like MidJourney, but videos), and Zapier integration. Pros, Cons, and Who Can Use It? In conclusion, Rask.ai won’t make your video content more interesting or helpful and won’t make you a superstar overnight. However, with the right distribution strategy and exciting content, Rask.ai will significantly cut your editorial costs, saving you hundreds of dollars on people who translate and edit your content for you, as well as save you A LOT of time, letting you focus on the stuff that really matters: scripts, topics, guests, and other things that make your content better. Rask.ai is a great solution for podcast hosts like myself, social media or community managers producing content for their companies, or TikTok and Instagram influencers that focus on short video content. Pros: Clean and simple interface
Precise translations
Multiple features in one subscription Cons: Relatively high prices

How to Localize Your Shorts in 3 Clicks

Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) policies in digital business encompass integrated practices that ensure that your processes align with regulations, industry standards, and internal policies. Most commonly it refers to governance structures, risk management, and compliance measures. The regulatory part of the digital landscape evolves dynamically and leans towards tightening measures, at the same time, risks and error costs continue to rise. This is why creating a specific GRC strategy is essential for digital businesses. In this article, we will talk about key components and best practices for implementing a successful and suitable GRC strategy for a digital business. Key Components of an Effective GRC Strategy GRC is a complex and nuanced domain where the same strategy may work perfectly for one organization and be ruinous for another. However, there are common guidelines to follow, which allow for the creation of a successful GRC strategy that is tailored to your specific business needs. Establishing governance frameworks Governance frameworks play a vital role in defining responsibilities within your organization and empowering decision-makers at different levels. This typically involves clearly outlining roles and responsibilities, creating relevant documentation and company regulations, aligning these regulations with business goals and ensuring all employees are familiar with them. Identifying and Assessing Risks Risk management is a crucial aspect of a GRC strategy for various reasons. Conducting proper risk assessments and pondering their mitigation can save businesses significant costs by preventing potential accidents, rather than dealing with their consequences. For effectiveness, risk assessments need to focus on high-impact risks, and be conducted regularly and systematically. You can use AI tools to enhance risk analysis and assessment by identifying potential blind spots, gaps and increased human factor-related risks. This proactive approach helps in safeguarding the organization against potential threats and ensures resilience and sustainability. Implementing Compliance Programs Implementing compliance programs is about ensuring that the organization adheres to relevant laws, regulations, standards, and ethical practices. The important factor here is not to make these processes inflexible which renders them unable to accommodate frequent and ever changing legal requirements . It is recommended not only to consider the current regulations but also stay alert for forthcoming ones, preparing for them in advance and gradually, to ensure that any changes don't come as sudden disruptions for your company. Integrating GRC into Organizational Culture Integrating GRC into organizational culture is essential. Merely creating a GRC policy is insufficient if it isn’t integrated into daily routines and behaviors of employees at all levels of your organization. Only when GRC becomes a part of the organizational DNA does it become truly effective. The key point here is to understand how regulations translate into actual activities. Aligning GRC Efforts with Business Objectives A GRC strategy should never be detached from your company’s business goals, mission and values. In fact, it should actually support and add value to them. This alignment means that setting GRC priorities needs to be directly linked to key business objectives, ensuring resources are focused on areas of highest impact. 8 Steps to a Successful GRC Strategy Now, from theory to practice. The following steps aid us and our clients in developing a functional GRC strategy that doesn’t deplete the security budget, remains transparent for performance assessment and is scalable and flexible. Decide on the use of GRC Platform This is where it is absolutely crucial to do your homework. Research and compare off-the-shelf solutions that are available on the market from the point of view of whether or not they cover all your GRC needs and determine if additional complementary tools are needed. Sometimes, it is worth investing in a custom GRC solution that is tailored to fit your particular GRC demands rather than try and make do with generic solutions that may leave certain areas uncovered. Consult with compliance and GRC experts and involve your solution architects in the decision-making process to select the best option. Create a GRC Project Roadmap Set your priorities and present them in the form of defined milestones and timelines. Make sure they are realistic and are broken down into manageable phases. Then assign responsibilities for the tasks on the timeline you’ve created. Make them transparent and avoid situations where too many cooks can spoil the broth. Communicate the plan to everyone involved. Perform a Gap Analysis This stage involved identifying the existing GRC processes and evaluating them against your roadmap objectives. Then compare your current practices against industry standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices. Once you’ve identified the gaps, prioritize them based on their risk and impact on your business, and plan actions to address them. Determine and Align Stakeholder Expectations Stakeholder engagement is essential for carrying out effective GRC policies. Make sure it starts at the earliest stages. If you have to (and you probably will), plan meetings to discuss and align on the GRC strategy's goals, priorities, and outcomes. Don’t stop there, you need to keep the stakeholders in the loop of all the GRC-related developments, gather and analyze their feedback and ensure their active participation in decision-making. Define the Objectives Use the SMART objectives-setting technique. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound and this abbreviation perfectly reflects the qualities that should define your GRC tasks. Incorporating regular reviews and feedback loops into GRC objectives is crucial for ensuring their effectiveness. Conduct a Comprehensive Organizational Risk Assessment Use a structured framework to conduct risk assessment activities. Another great tip here would be to maximize the use of existing resources such as leveraging the cross-functional expertise within your team. You may already have a compliance expert within your organization potentially working on other projects. Keep a comprehensive log or a documentation of all identified risks with set priorities and mitigation options. Standardization Standardization is key to maintaining consistency and effectiveness in your GRC policies. By standardizing procedures, training, and onboarding processes, you ensure that rules are interpreted uniformly across the organization. Develop a comprehensive set of GRC training materials and procedures making it mandatory for employees to be familiar with them.  Consider incorporating GRC clauses into employment contracts to reinforce compliance. Additionally, adopt and implement industry best practices tailored to your business structure.

So, monitor it, conduct performance checks, gather feedback and identify improvement areas on a regular basis. Best Practices in Creating a Working GRC Policies Besides understanding the steps for creating and implementing GRC policies tailored to your business, here are some tips to ensure its effective execution. Starting small, simple, and focused No need to roll-out a huge-scale system that will complicate matters for your company. Start small, try out, build on it and expand gradually. Keep the focus on high-impact factors. Leadership commitment Cultivate initiative within your leadership by openly communicating GRC principles throughout the organization. Emphasize that these principles are fundamental to the company’s long-term success and reputation. Prioritize risk and compliance activities At an enterprise level, this is what quantifies the value achieved at each stage of your GRC policy implementation. Engage your employees This is where you can get creative. It could be interactive training sessions on ethical decision-making, workshops on identifying and mitigating risks in your workers’ operations, and forums for discussing compliance challenges. Do not forget to encourage feedback and show you value it. Introduce proper incentives You can revise your company’s performance appraisal system to include GRC-related metrics. Your employees can be rewarded not just for achieving business targets but also for demonstrating adherence to compliance standards, ethical behavior, and effective risk management in their tasks.

In the latest version of Angular, we’re getting what is known as the new Control Flow syntax for our component templates. It will replace older directives for things like , , and *ngIf/else ngSwitch *ngFor In this post, we’re going to learn exactly what this change means for us and how to use it. Alright, let’s get to it. https://youtu.be/nUEERAOZKwg?embedable=true So, for those of us that are used to building things in Angular, we’re used to the structural directive , and the concept of using an for the else condition when needed. Well, we don’t need this anymore with the new Control Flow syntax. *ngIf ng-template Also, we no longer need to import the to use them. Let’s take a look at an example. CommonModule Angular Control Flow Syntax for If/Else Conditions Ok, here in our component we have this player object consisting of some data about NBA player LeBron James. app.component.ts protected player: Player = {

}; If we were to imagine that, in the real world, data like this may come from an API request where it may contain data or just be undefined. We would then need to conditionally use it within our template. In this case, we want to show our player component and pass it the player data only when it’s been defined. So, we need to use an if condition. For the new syntax, it’s similar to other templating languages like PHP, razor, and others. We start with the symbol, then in parentheses, we add our condition. Here, it will be if our player value is truthy, and then we wrap whatever conditional item. In this case, it’s our player component, with a player input, and that’s it. @ app.component.html @if (player) {
 <app-player [player]="player"></app-player>
} Right now, of course, it’s showing because we have our data hard-coded. So, let’s go clear it out. protected player?: Player; And, when we save, now we can see that it’s properly removed when no data is provided. If we want to show a message when we have no data, we need to add an else statement. To do this, we just need to add another symbol, then the word "else", then a new set of curly braces where we wrap our message. @ @if (player) {
 <app-player [player]="player"></app-player>
} @else {
 No player exists at this time
} Then, when we save this, we see that our message is properly displayed because we now have no data. So, that’s the new syntax replacing the old . *ngIf/else Angular Control Flow Syntax for Switch Statements Next up, we have the new syntax for switch statements. We no longer need a wrapping element or in order to use an directive and each of its cases. In this example, we have a select control where we can choose Lebron, Kareem, or leave it as the default player. ng-container ngSwitch And, when we look at our data, we have three player objects, player one, LeBron, player two, Kareem, and player three, Karl Malone. protected player1: Player = {
 name: 'LeBron James',
 games: 1421,
 points: 38652,
 fieldGoalPercentage: 0.505,
 threePointPercentage: 0.345,

};
protected player2: Player = {
 name: 'Kareem Abdul-Jabbar',
 games: 1560,

 fieldGoalPercentage: 0.559,
 threePointPercentage: 0.056,

};
protected player3: Player = {
 name: 'Karl Malone',
 games: 1476,
 points: 36928,
 fieldGoalPercentage: 0.516,
 threePointPercentage: 0.274,
 imageName: 'karl-malone'
}; What we want to do in the template is show the appropriate player to match the value of our form control. This control will be a value of a string matching either Lebron, Kareem, or Default. protected options = new FormControl<'LeBron' | 'Kareem' | 'Default'>('Default', { nonNullable: true }); So, back in our template, we’ll begin by adding the symbol followed by the word "switch", then in parentheses, the value that we’ll want to switch on, in this case, that will be our options control value. @ @switch (options.value) {} Now, for our first case, we add the symbol, then the word "case", followed by the value, LeBron for this case, in parentheses. Then, within curly braces, we add our player component with the player input, in this case, it will be player one because that was Lebron in our data. @ @switch (options.value) {
 @case ('LeBron') {
 <app-player [player]="player1"></app-player>
 }
} Now, we can simply copy all of this, paste it, then change the case to Kareem, and the input to player two this time for Kareem’s data. @switch (options.value) {
 @case ('LeBron') {
 <app-player [player]="player1"></app-player>
 }
 @case ('Kareem') {
 <app-player [player]="player2"></app-player>
 }
} And then, finally, we can add our default case. We’ll add the player component one last time here, and we'll pass it to player three for Karl Malone. @switch (options.value) {
 @case ('LeBron') {
 <app-player [player]="player1"></app-player>
 }
 @case ('Kareem') {
 <app-player [player]="player2"></app-player>
 }
 @default {
 <app-player [player]="player3"></app-player>
 }
} Ok, now when we save, we see Karl Malone since he was the default, and our control value is set to default when initialized. If we change to Lebron, the view is properly updated. And likewise with Kareem. So, that’s the new switch syntax; up next, we have the final example in this post, a for loop. Angular Control Flow Syntax for For Loops When adding for loops in angular, we used to need an element or for our directive. Then we would need to create a variable from a list of options, and then much of the time, we needed to add a function to help with performance. Well, it looks similar now but a little different. ng-container *ngFor trackby In this example, our list of players is larger and consists of all of these items. players.ts export const players = [

 }
]; We want to list these players out in the template with a for loop. So, we start by adding the symbol again. Then, the word "for" is followed by parentheses. In these parentheses, we create our variable, we’ll call it "player." @ Then, like the old , we use the word "of", followed by our variable for our list of data, in this case, players. *ngFor @for (player of players) {
} Now, one of the key differences in the new syntax is that a track expression is mandatory. So, if we were to save this, we get an error letting us know what we’re missing. So, we need to add a semi-colon, followed by the word "track." Then we need to provide a unique value to track, something like an ID, but in our case, we’ll use the player name. @for (player of players; track player.name) {
} Ok, all that’s left now is to add our player component and pass it our player data. @for (player of players; track player.name) {
 <app-player [player]="player"></app-player>
} And now when we save, there’s our list of players. Angular For Loop Empty Template Now, what if our list was empty, and we wanted to show a message? Well, let’s clear out our list data. If we were to save right now, we'd just have a blank screen. To show a message in this case, back in our template, we can add an empty scenario for our for loop. And inside, we can add our message. @for (player of players) {
 ...
}
@empty {
 There are no players to display at this time
} Now, when we save, we see our message. Pretty easy, right? Angular For Loop Additional Properties Now, for those of you familiar with the old , you may be wondering about all of the old properties that we had available: *ngFor index first last even odd count Well, they all still exist in the new syntax too. We just add them much like we did before. We use the word "let" followed by the variable name we want to use, then equals and the name of the value prefixed with a dollar sign. @for (player of players;
 track player.name;
 let index = $index;
 let first = $first;
 let last = $last;
 let even = $even;
 let odd = $odd;
 let count = $count) {
 ...
} So, after adding all of these, let's say we want to display the count in a message before the first item in the list. So, we add a condition for the first item, then add a message with the string interpolated value for the list count. @if (first) {
 There are {{ count }} players in the list
} When we save, now we can see the message with the count before all items. And, let’s say we want to display the list item number next to the player name. We can do this by passing the item index to the player component. <app-player
 ...
 [index]="index"
 ...>
</app-player> Internally, this component adds one to its index value and places the string interpolated value before the name. We could also add some zebra striping by binding a class, even, to all of the even-numbered list items. <app-player
 ...
 [class.even]="even"
 ...>
</app-player> Now, we can see all of the even items are a little darker. And finally, we can highlight the first and last list items by binding a first and last class to those variables. <app-player
 ...
 [class.first]="first"
 [class.last]="last"
 ...>
</app-player> Here, we can see the first item gets a red border. And, when we scroll down to the bottom, the last item gets a blue border. Pretty straightforward, right? So, I think this is a pretty nice change. It’s pretty similar to what we’re used to but it’s a little more simple. It doesn’t require as many elements, s, and s, and it also doesn’t require any imports which is pretty nice. ng-container ng-template I guess, some things are simpler, some things are easier, and some things are just different. The Angular Control Flow Migration Schematic For those of you who may be worried about making this change to an existing codebase, don’t be. To migrate all of your existing s, s, and s, you can simply use the migration schematic which should hopefully update them without much work. *ngIf ngSwitch *ngFor ng g @angular/core:control-flow-migration Ok, so that’s pretty much all I have for Angular’s new control flow syntax.

Historically, companies have been developing their products with a focus on market research and technical innovation. However, this often led to a mismatch between the product functionality and what customers actually needed or desired. This is why in recent years product development has been shifting towards a user-centric paradigm. Investing in addressing customers’ pain points, motivation, and goals builds empathy and shows users that they are of value—this may effectively turn regular customers into genuine fans of your product. Today, it has become difficult to compete with other solutions on the market if your product or service does not meet the user's expectations. Markets have become more saturated, and users now lean toward products that solve their problems and that are friendly and easy to navigate. . Importantly, users who feel valued and heard are more likely to become loyal to the product and actively promote it. Businesses that have adopted a user-centric approach are finding greater success through increased customer satisfaction and loyalty What Is a User-Centric Approach? In a nutshell, user-centric product development implies attentiveness to the client's needs. This approach puts the customer at the heart of the product development process. The main principles of this approach are identifying users' current problems and needs and creating a product or service anticipating and exceeding their expectations. In terms of business management, rather than creating products based on technical feasibility or business objectives, this approach adjusts to the changing needs of customers and tries to improve services and maintenance that would be helpful and meaningful to them. k. Before and during the whole process of development, it is important to identify your audience, study their specific preferences and usage contexts, solve their problems, and offer a product tailored to their needs—and additional perks. This approach requires flexibility and openness to communication and feedbac Let’s focus on each component of the user-focused product development in more detail. Understanding Customer Needs To effectively meet customer needs, businesses must deeply understand their target audience. Market research provides essential insights into consumer demographics, while user feedback offers direct opinions and reactions from those who interact with a brand’s products or services. Data analytics complements these approaches by quantifying behaviors and preferences across larger customer segments. To gather the data you need, you can apply surveys, focus groups, and in-depth interviews. All this allows companies to gather qualitative data about consumer experiences and expectations. Perform observational studies: they can effectively reveal how users interact with products in real-world settings. Combine these insights with quantitative data analysis and you will get a comprehensive understanding of consumer behavior—and be aware of it at every stage of product development. Designing for Humans Principles of human-centered design (HCD) are key to creating products that genuinely resonate with users. This approach aims to make products and services accessible, intuitive, and simple. HCD is what makes our lives comfortable through paying attention to the details that matter. This design approach revolves around these key questions: Who is it for? What do they want? How to reach them? Keeping these questions in mind throughout the whole development process can help build a final product that will be relevant—and desired. Thoughtful UX design is one of the ways HCD promotes user care. User experience is crucial for customers’ loyalty and advocacy. It encompasses how users see, interact with, and benefit from the product. Great UX can increase user satisfaction, loyalty, and support, while a bad one can lead to frustration, abandonment, and negative reviews. If UX is not prioritized, you can lose your audience to the endless number of substitutes available in today's market. You can find successful applications of human-centered design in various industries where companies have developed innovative solutions that address specific user challenges—ranging from easy-to-navigate software interfaces to ergonomic physical devices that solve everyday problems. From initial concept to final release, this strategy involves a continuous loop of feedback and refinements based on real customer insights. It’s a powerful way to build more than a mere product, but an experience tailored to what your users want. User-centric product development places the needs and wants of clients at the forefront of every stage of creating a product. Relying on Data Going beyond anecdotes or gut feelings, user-centric product development relies heavily on data to guide decisions. Quantitative analysis offers indisputable evidence of how clients interact with a product—what features are used most frequently, where users seem to get stuck, or what prompts them to stop using the service altogether. Data-driven decision-making, or DDDM, is an approach that can take many forms. It encompasses collecting survey responses, identifying customer preferences, conducting user testing to understand product usage scenarios, and identifying potential issues before the release. It’s vital to analyze demographic data shifts to determine business opportunities or threats. By combining these methods, you can develop a product that addresses real problems in ways your target audience wants. User-Centric Product Management Put users at the center of your process and become an active listener. Create features and design hypotheses based on the user journey and final goals. Try to identify what is a success for a user, and not for you and your business. Your success depends on how well you understand your audience and whether you build products and services accordingly. Test your assumptions as early as possible, and stay flexible to be able to shift the focus to what is important. The process is not just about following the roadmap—it involves continuous and thoughtful interaction with clients. You need to promptly respond to the shifting preferences of users and adapt quickly to feedback, ensuring that the final product is not only functional but also smooth to use and desired by customers. Iteration and Feedback Loops User-centric product development heavily relies on iterative processes. This includes designing, prototyping, testing, receiving feedback, refining the product, and repeating this cycle until optimal product-market fit is achieved. Prototyping allows designers and developers to quickly explore ideas and save money and resources on implementations of doubtful features. Opportunities to test prototypes with actual users help identify issues and find opportunities for improvement before finalizing design decisions are made. You can do it by integrating tools like A/B testing platforms or user experience analytics software. These may be useful for collecting feedback at all steps, including after product release. This fosters ongoing continuous improvement based on real-world data. Measuring Success So, you have built the processes that answer the user-centric development approach. The next step is to measure its impact and ensure its effectiveness. For this, you can use a preferred framework with metrics that work best for your business. Key performance indicators (KPI) such as net promoter score (NPS), customer satisfaction ratings (CSAT), churn rate reduction, increased usage frequency or duration—all serve as valuable metrics suggesting whether users find value in your product. . Quantitative metrics like satisfaction rates provide precise numerical estimates, while engagement metrics and user feedback give qualitative insights into user behavior and feelings. Each metric provides a unique perspective on user experience To make informed decisions and meaningful improvements at all stages of development and product lifecycle, it’s best to use both quantitative and qualitative data. Afterword Companies which have embraced user-centric methodologies often share success stories featuring increased engagement levels, reduced churn rates among subscribers, and higher profitability thanks primarily to happy customers who advocate on their behalf. This serves as a testament to the effectiveness of understanding users’ experiences—their frustrations as well as their satisfaction points—and letting them be the focus of your product development. Shifting to user-centric product development is not just an ethical choice, it is a strategic one. It has already proven to be a pathway for sustainable success through a commitment to meet the evolving needs of the customers.
