About

AI engineer, now building WhiteMaskContent. Spending my days somewhere between code, content, and trial and error. Curious about why some stories stick and others get scrolled past. Learning in public and trying to turn that into something useful.

My first Product Hunt launch: X sent 1 vote, YouTube did the rest. What worked for you?

I launched NotchMind, a Mac app that turns the MacBook notch into a small hub, as a solo developer with under 500 followers on X. It finished #16 for the day with 76 points, and I'm at about 20 sales so far.

The traffic surprised me:

  • X, where I post the most: the tracked link brought 1 vote.

  • YouTube: my demo video has about 4.6K views, and around 73% of them came from YouTube recommending it for free. I only spent about $11 on a promotion.

  • Reddit, Hacker News and Indie Hackers all stopped me because my accounts were new. One flagged me as spam, one flagged my post, and one wouldn't let me post.

I'm trying to work out where to put my time next, so two specific questions for makers with a small audience:

🪞 Do you use your own product every day?

For us, RunEvr is the environment where we actually build RunEvr =)

For me, that s one of the most beautiful parts of having a product - using it while continuing to build and improve it.

We do our everyday calls there, share ideas, chat, store files, do reviews, complete tasks

And all of this is happening inside the same environment we re building to help other teams do exactly that!
Kind of a mirror within a mirror =D
