Building a browser extension for fashion shoppers taught me something I didn't expect: the tech isn't the hard part.
I'm a solo founder working on a shopping tool. My target users are women aged 15-35 who want to look good and save money. They're not on Product Hunt. They don't hang out in founder communities. They discover products through TikTok hauls and Instagram reels.
How do you come up with ideas for posting on social media every day? What tools or strategies do you use to consistently generate content? I know that we draw inspiration from our daily activities, but sometimes it can be challenging to come up with fresh ideas. It s hard to decide what to post, especially when the content isn't directly related to our product. We're looking for content that connects with our audience, encourages learning, and invites participation.
This is one of those founder nightmares nobody talks about until it happens.
You've spent 6 months building. Things are moving, but not fast enough for one of you. Your co-founder comes to you with "the new idea" completely different direction.
You believe in the current vision. They're losing faith.
Looking back at your first Product Hunt launch, is there something you wish you had known beforehand? Maybe it s a strategy that worked wonders later, a mistake you learned from, or even a small tip that made a big difference. For me, I realized how important timing and community engagement are but it took a lot of trial and error to figure that out. Share the lessons you ve learned and the advice you d give to someone preparing for their first launch. What s your golden nugget of wisdom?
