Product Cafe: Web 3, Web 3 everywhere! 🙀
Hey everyone!
Welcome to this week's edition of Product Cafe. Every week, we curate everything interesting around product management and send it right into your inbox 📩
I am so curious that my mind keeps questioning everything. Literally everything. Even when Web 3.0 started making noise (It still does), I was flipping all the pages (of course, on the internet) to know what difference it brings for us, Product managers. Finally, I've got enough resources to share with you that simply answer the question, Web 3.0 - What's in for Product Managers. I am sure this edition is going to be exciting. Let's get started.
