Started making side projects as a developer this year and hope to start working on my own products full-time from next year. Two books I found useful for positioning the product: - Obviously Awesome by April Dunford (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45166937-obviously-aweso...) - Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/210137279-building-a-sto...)

This is so funny. I've read both these books and absolutely loved Obviously Awesome and could not stand StoryBrand.

Wrote reviews on both Obviously Awesome[0] and StoryBrand[1] for anyone interested.

Tx. I've been building a lot of projects as well. These seem interesting!
