The simplest tweak you can do to increase signups is to make it as frictionless as possible

Here’s how:

* Enable social sign in
* Only ask for email/phone
* Use magic links

Collect other info later in onboarding
Sounds simple but you'd be surprised how many get it wrong

Experimenting with Chatgpt (prompt engineering) + Nano Banana Pro + Magic Upscale.

Might use in a visual identity...

If you're working on an early-stage startup with a new idea, it's better to validate it with minimal effort.

1. 10 to 20 customer calls. Problem + If they're willing to pay for your solution
2. Landing page + waitlist or preorder.
3. Sell a manual version first.
