Positioning & story
Your story is boring without a villain. And you are not the hero of it. The developer is. You're the wise advisor who hands them a better weapon.
Use this when: your homepage explains what your product does before it names the problem, your positioning is interchangeable with three competitors, or nobody feels any urgency to act now.
The core idea
Developers don't buy features; they hire a tool to defeat something that's making their life worse. Get the roles right:
- Hero = the developer (never the vendor, never the product)
- Villain = the undeniable trend making the pain worse every day
- Wise Advisor = you, arriving with a gift (the product)
- Inciting event = the change in the world that forces the hero to act now
