Tether

Your agents ship features in an afternoon. Deciding what to build next still takes weeks. Tether turns your customer calls and DMs into ranked pain points, right inside Claude or ChatGPT.

A pattern in conversations with solo founders this week: the request itself often gets a no, but the problem behind it gets solved some other way. When a user asked for something you didn't build, what did you end up doing for them instead?

A pattern in this week's founder threads: the clearest signal for what to build next often wasn't a feature request. It was the same question coming from different users about one confusing step. What's a user question that ended up changing what you built?

Something that came up in several founder threads this week: early feedback is mostly friends and other builders being supportive, and it's hard to tell which of it comes from someone who'd actually use the thing. Curious how others sort it: what tells you a request is from a real user?

A pattern in this week's founder threads: the ones learning fastest stopped counting sign-ups and started asking who came back on day two, and why. Curious how others handle it: when the people who came back and the loudest requesters want different things, who wins?

A pattern from this week's conversations with solo founders: bugs get handled first, while feature requests land in a list (Linear, a plain text file) and get picked when there's time. What makes a request jump the line for you?
