What’s on your daily checklist (outside of work)?
We re usually very good at creating to-do lists for work.
But what about everything outside of work?
I ve started turning my personal habits into a checklist to build discipline and make these habits non-negotiable over time.
Here s mine:
What I Learned Relaunching My App on Product Hunt After 3 Years
First of all, I want to thank you for voting for us in yesterday's launch - you still can, the week is not over. HERE
Second thing, I summarised some things that I realised, reflected on, and maybe should have known sooner:
From startup pivot to $300k in 60 days.
We sold $300k in 60 days. Fully bootstrapped.
This is the story of how we stayed alive, and replaced our pre-seed with actual sales.
Two months ago, we ran a lifetime deal on AppSumo.
The outcome?
- 5,000+ new users
- Over 100 5-star reviews
- A full year of runway
Lifetime deals feel scary.
How can you know what will happen to your startup when you don t even know what you ll have for breakfast tomorrow?
But if the definition of a founder is staying alive,
we did what we had to do to stay alive.
And I m so fricking proud of what we ve built so far.
No VCs.
No Harvard.
No pitch decks.
Just us, a Chrome Extension, and our customers.
People are loving Pretty Prompt.
And saying things like:
"The best tool I have purchased over the years".
"Paid for itself in the first week."

Here s to the next 12 months, fully backed by our customers
We can do so much more in the Product Hunt community
I joined Product Hunt about 2 months ago, and ever since receiving my first compliments and comments on our recent product launch, I ve truly felt how nice and supportive people here are. Everyone seems open to discussion, willing to help, and genuinely curious about what others are building.
At first, I thought it would be really hard for a newcomer like me to join such a big community. But it turned out to be much less strict than I expected - actually, it feels like a place with so much potential for us to grow together.
Every day on Product Hunt, I feel like I m learning or discovering something new. It s not just about upvotes. It s about ideas, feedback, and seeing how others think and build.
