RVAI #48 Where Projects Meet Reality
Most ideas die not from a lack of inspiration, but from a lack of resilience. The chasm between a brilliant concept and a sustainable product isn't bridged by more features—it's crossed through relentless iteration, honest data, and the courage to polish what works rather than chase what's new. Nick Walker, developer of the Particle News App, will share the earned truths about reaching product-market fit: how testing becomes your compass, how data reveals what users actually want (not what they say they want), how the discipline of continuous refinement transforms promising projects into products that matter, and how AI can fit into that process to make it more achievable. If you've ever wondered what separates the builders who ship from those who simply start, this session will show you the path from prototype to persistence. Join us for our first RVAI lab meetup in the newly renovated space at WhiteRabbit!
