Ask HN: Questions lie and mislead. Data does not.

2 pointsby Rhodeeover 14 years ago
My founders and I conducted customer research to suss out what feature ideas customers really wanted from our web application. Digging deeper into data, our demographics suggests our prospective customer will be female 3 out of 4 times. As a prudent, behind-the-numbers and first-time founder, I need to make this information actionable.<p>To these ends, would the front-end engineer, graphic design or UI professionals on HN, particularly the female members, be willing to share their insights offline or post links to model web applications with a sentance describing why they think its a good model?<p>Grateful,<p>Rhodee

Suggestion: Ask your actual customers. There's a good chance HN users in general are so far out of your demographic that feedback from here doesn't help you at all.<p>It's not like all women share this secret stash of female knowledge ;)

You're getting demographics data out of customer research around features? That doesn't sound right, could you describe your research methodology a bit more?

I "self identify as female". But I can't find a link to your site. You can email me from one of the sites in my profile...though be forewarned that I tend to be a statistical outlier no matter what the topic, so I have no idea how representative I can be of the secret stash of female knowledge you seek.
