I'm thinking about building a product that customers can build a community (and more) with it. But I want to validate the idea by asking my potential customers some questions. What should I ask them?
I would say that you should put your idea into the back of your mind for now. Write down three hypotheses about the problem you think you are solving and validate or disprove those hypotheses by asking your target market open ended questions. Don't lead them to the answer you want. This is crucial to not fool yourself into thinking you've validated something when you haven't. For more on this I recommend reading The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick (I wrote a short summary here if you're interested: https://ludwig.fyi/the-mom-test)

Thanks for reminding using mom's test!
