In the last two months, GMGN has completed nearly 4,000 transactions.
Helping the product and development teams continuously improve and iterate the product.
We define these two months as 'going to war'.
We have changed a lot of UI designs, added many detailed experiences, completely replaced the trading engine (still not finished), and completely rewritten the website architecture (still not finished).
We have gradually resolved many previous issues.
We also altered many trading experiences that long-time users had become accustomed to. With the accumulation of iterations, some old users who returned after being AFK found that they were not very familiar with it anymore.
The most common questions I hear are:
Why change?
Is the XX feature still there?
Can the page still be set up like this?
No pain, no gain; major functional changes require great determination, and some changes need to be adapted to and used to discover that they are better than before.
Fortunately, we have persevered, and there is only one item left for the major website overhaul: the favorites list. After completing this, the UI redesign will be mostly finished.
Did we really listen to users' suggestions while making these changes?
There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts; we certainly listened, but the final decisions on how to proceed must still come from the team.
Why were some suggestions not implemented?
Some are priority issues; the team cannot complete everything at once.
Some are niche demand issues; everyone feels that their needs are essential, and we strive to find commonalities.
The only thing left to do is that I recharged several hundred SOL and spent two months processing 4,000 transactions to reduce the likelihood of making mistakes.
Product development is highly uncertain; making no changes is the best choice, as doing more leads to more mistakes.
However, not making changes will lead to falling behind and inevitably overlook users' needs after trends change.
Some users say our website is losing its original personality, but this is not the case.
The product UI ultimately tends to converge; it is an inevitable trend and an objective law.
As you continue to grow, the customer base is mutually eroding with competitors; if they have something, do you need to have it? If you have something, do they need to have it? Shakespeare said, that is the question.
Look at CEX, is there still personality?
Thank you all for your continued support; please understand if we have impacted your trading habits. Everything is for the better. 🙏
The road ahead is long and has no ending; I will search high and low.
