LinkedIn Post Writer

Turns a rough idea or a lesson learned into one publish-ready LinkedIn post: a hook that earns the second line, short scannable body, a concrete specific, and a closing question that invites a real comment.

A Markdown deliverable containing: (1) three alternative opening hooks; (2) one complete LinkedIn post under 220 words with short lines, whitespace, at least one concrete specific and a closing question; (3) up to three hashtags; (4) one line stating what the post optimises for (reach, replies, or credibility with a named audience).

## Hook options
1. 200 customers asked for it. We built something else.
2. The most-requested feature on our roadmap was the wrong one.
3. We spent a week proving our customers wrong. Best week of the quarter.

## Post

200 customers asked for it. We built something else.

The request was a Gantt view. Six engineer-weeks, scoped and ready to start.

Before we started, we pulled the numbers on the closest thing we already shipped.

3% of accounts had opened it in 90 days.

So we asked a different question: not what are people asking for, but what are people already doing that is harder than it should be.

The answer was bulk edit. Nobody had requested it. Not once.

We shipped it in nine days.

41% of accounts now use it weekly.

Here is the part I keep chewing on: the 200 requests were not wrong about the pain. They were wrong about the shape of the fix, and so were we until we looked.

Requests tell you where it hurts. They do not tell you where to cut.

What is something your customers asked for that you were right not to build?

## Optimising for
Replies from other founders and PMs. The closing question asks for a decision they made rather than an opinion they hold, which is what separates a comment section from a like count.
