November 11, 2022
Developers enjoy playful solutions and trying new approaches. Nowadays, time is essential, everyone wants to spend quality time with their family or through hobbies. Acquiring new skills or discovering knowledge is expected to be quick, easy, and free.
To control your product adoption in the digital world, you must consider the ease of use and speed of integration with which your product serves the developer audience. Users will decide if a product is a fit for them, and all of their decisions are driven by time and/or cost. To spread your product digitally, you can create tools or  just for developers. Which can increase your sales, lower support costs, and widen your market reach.
These metrics will help you make data-driven decisions about which direction to take. Without considering such a path, understanding your customers' wants, needs, and behavior is pure guesswork. Measuring these metrics brings you undeniable data to support your decisions and think about innovation. Focus on improving your developer experience—the experience using your product by the target audience of developers.
Examples of poor developer experience
- Your support is overwhelmed by customer requests.
- You have an excellent product for developers, but it is unclear how to leverage it for their use case.
- Developers need someone to communicate with via email or phone. For example, to get an API key or, even worse, documentation.
Examples of good developer experience
- Developers can create solutions on their own thanks to your documentation, FAQ, and guides.
- Your documentation drives developers through the Quick Start Guide, demonstrating their use cases and advanced principles to implement anything they need.
- Developers don't have to reach out to anyone to find the correct documentation and can quickly get everything they need to implement their use case.
#1: Benefits and value
Explaining the value and benefits (rather than the features) to your customers is always difficult, but it's worth it. The quicker these two get across, the faster you’ve gained a new client.
