Why your product feels off (and how to fix it)

Reading time: 3 minutes

Most people don’t need better tools
They need better taste

Taste isn’t just design
It’s knowing what feels right before it’s obvious
And in business, that’s a cheat code

Think about the products you love

They don’t just work
They feel clean
They look sharp
They make you feel like you made the right choice

That’s not accidental
It’s taste

Someone decided
This is what quality feels like
And they were right

Taste builds trust before you say a word
It makes a landing page convert
It makes your product feel premium
Even if it’s simple

Bad taste makes people hesitate
Good taste makes them click
Great taste makes them tell their friends

The best part
Taste is learnable

You collect examples
You train your eye
You raise your standards
And you stop shipping things that make you cringe
