Had such a blast chatting with @petergyang about the journey behind @figma Slides (*Flides 😉)
Thank you Peter for inviting me to be on the podcast!! Here’s to more hackathon projects-turned-launches :)
"Every high was followed by a low...but not now doesn't mean no, so you have to be persistent."
That's Mihika Kapoor's candid advice on building 0 to 1 products inside companies. @mihikapoor took Figma Slides from an idea to a featured product at Figma Config this year.
In my new episode, she shared practical tips to:
- Build internal excitement for your 0 to 1 idea
- Get leadership buy-in for your vision
- Overcome the odds to launch a great product
Some quotes from Mihika:
"I wanted to combine the interactive feedback of FigJam with the visual fidelity of Figma."
"Talking about my idea got me nowhere. It became clear that I needed to build something that people could actually use."
"A bunch of bullet points does nothing to drive alignment compared to a prototype and feedback from real users."
"I don't write PRDs because I've never seen one that isn't out of date. Instead, I add the context directly to the designs."

This is how lazy @FedEx has become. Placing on the other side of the snow so the box doesn’t get destroyed is real hard.
