Stay failure

No user contact in 6 weeks

The fix

Without user contact you're drifting. 2026's data: solo founders who do 1 user call per week are 3x more likely to find PMF. "Call" can be a 10-min Discord DM. The hard part isn't time, it's the discomfort. Pick the friendliest user, ask one question: "What were you doing right before you opened the app today?", listen for what you didn't anticipate.

Prompt to paste

I haven't talked to a user in 6 weeks. Push me to do one user conversation this week. Help me pick the friendliest user, draft a 10-minute Discord or DM script built around one question, 'what were you doing right before you opened [app] today?', and tell me what to listen for that I didn't anticipate.
