I just created a Valentine's Game that you can remix and modify to personalize it on Framer. It's live on PD and would love to get some reactions on it!
Build an audience early! Share useful content, engage in discussions, and get feedback before launch. A waitlist also helps create buzz.
We’re in pre-launch too! Would love your thoughts—just visit my page and click ‘Try Helix for FREE’!

A technique I used once, and intend to use again, is to invite target user friends in my network to help me out as a beta testers. If they like it - I'll ask for testimonials etc for the hard launch. If they don't, I can use the feedback for the product.
Once it goes paid, they get access for a massive discount as a thank you for being early beta testers.
Wow, so many great insights in this thread! Honestly, there’s so much valuable advice here that it’d be impossible to thank everyone individually. Appreciate all the wisdom shared—this is the kind of knowledge you don’t get from generic “growth hacks.”
I’m definitely taking notes. If anyone has a personal "I wish I knew this before launching" lesson, I’d love to hear it!

One practical pre-launch thing that tends to help more than more posting: make your landing page carry one proof signal above the fold before the CTA (waitlist count, concrete result, or a testimonial from a design partner). It gives all your outreach somewhere credible to land.
If useful, I can sketch a simple above-the-fold structure for that.

Pre-launch hype = momentum. Here’s how to build it:
🚀 Build in Public – Share progress, wins & fails on Twitter/LinkedIn.
📧 Waitlist Magic – Exclusive early access = FOMO.
👥 Community First – Engage in relevant groups (Reddit, Discord, IndieHackers).
🎥 Tease with Content – Short videos, sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes.
🤝 Collab & Cross-Promote – Partner with influencers & early adopters.
💬 Talk to Users – Feedback loops = better product & organic buzz.
Launch is a moment. Pre-launch is the movement. 🚀
