Snapchat invented disappearing content in 2013. Instagram copied it in 2016. (Yeah! Shamelessly 😅) Instagram’s co-founder even admitted it. He said, “Snapchat deserves all the credit.” But here’s the plot twist… In just 2 months, 100 M+ people were using Instagram Stories. But it took Snapchat 4 years to hit that number. That's because Stories felt safe. No likes. No comments. Just blurry sunsets, your coffee, and your dog’s weird face. All gone in 24 hours. Suddenly, posting became a low-stakes daily habit. Instagram didn’t just copy the idea. They perfected it. (But how? Read the full breakdown here 👈) And boom... user behavior changed forever. Alright, your turn now... What’s one copied feature you think was executed better than the original? Let’s hear the hot takes 🔥

You ever hit “Send” on an email and immediately go, “Arre yaar… wrong attachment!” Or typed "Hi Rahul" instead of "Hi Radhika." Or just sent it way too fast and panicked 0.3 seconds later. Gmail’s Undo Send button = legit lifesaver. And it’s just smart product thinking. I wrote a full post on: ✨ Why Gmail didn’t try to “recall” emails like Outlook (thank god) ✨ How they built a fix without changing how people write emails ✨ What we, as PMs, can learn from this beautifully simple decision No fluff. Just real product lessons from a button we all secretly love. Read it here if you have ever facepalmed after clicking Send. Also, curious... have you ever used Undo Send? What was the situation? (Or are you that one person who triple-checks emails like a boss? 👀) Drop your stories. Let’s laugh and learn together 🤭

Reddit launched Answers. It's an AI tool that gives you a straight, to-the-point reply when you search. That means... No endless scrolling or 500 sarcastic comments. Just crisp answers pulled from Reddit threads. But here’s the full picture! 👉 82% of Reddit users are lurkers. 👉 40% of new users bounce after just one visit. (Yes, all those endless jokes and chaos? Newbies couldn’t handle it 😂) Meanwhile, TikTok and YouTube stole the search engine for Gen Z crown. And AI companies were eating Reddit’s data for breakfast. So Reddit had a choice: Adapt or get left behind. But the best part is that they: >> didn't mess up what makes Reddit fun. >> added AI without replacing humans. >> kept spicy topics (politics, health) away from AI summaries. In short: They didn’t fix what wasn’t broken. They built a faster shortcut for quick answers without killing the asli Reddit experience. We broke down the full story in today's newsletter.

You’re a PM at an e-commerce company. Sales dropped 20% last month. No extra marketing budget. No paid campaigns. Leadership wants answers—and fast. What would you do? This feels like one of those “real job, real stress” kinda problems. How would you approach this? Any go-to strategies or frameworks? Would love to hear your thoughts 👇 (Don’t worry, I’m not launching anything today 😅)

Do you know Data Is your Superpower, but context your Kryptonite? As product managers, we live by data—it guides our decisions, validates our assumptions, and helps us tell compelling stories. If you want to be super a PM, just like Superman, super PMs have a Kryptonite. And its - "Data without context can be dangerously misleading." - A drop in daily active users might seem alarming—until you realise it coincides with a major app update rollout. - A spike in feature usage looks great—until you dig deeper and find users are misusing it in ways you didn’t anticipate. The key lesson? Always pair data with the “why.” Without context, even the most compelling numbers can lead you astray. Do you want to a Super PM? 🚀 Well, be careful with the Kryptonite. So how do you ensure you’re not just data-driven but context-driven? Share your tips or examples in the comments!
