Hi everyone, I've been an active part of this community for a long time (no joke, you can check the streak page ) So why do we love Product Hunt so much? I would like to summarize the reasons that come to my mind, and please share yours as well. Last Thursday, we launched Free Keyword Generator (https://adsby.co/free-keyword-ge...), which is a side project of our new brand Adsby, and it became the product of the day. If I were to summarize what contributions this community had during this launch: - Visitors from 103 different countries came to our site and tested our product.
- They provided excellent suggestions for improving the product. (There were really great suggestions, some of which we will definitely implement)
- They reported small bugs we hadn't noticed, allowing us to fix them promptly.
- We received over 300 comments, and most of these comments were so inspiring that they provided significant motivation for the new product we are developing (Adsby). In short, thanks to this wonderful community, as product developers, we've seen substantial contributions in terms of feedback and motivation on this challenging journey. On behalf of Adsby, I thank everyone who is part of this community and the PH team.
I logged every support ticket for three weeks. 11 total. Six of them were the same problem, phrased six different ways. The users weren't confused about different things. They were confused about the same thing and I had never noticed because they described it differently.
I changed one sentence on the screen where they got stuck. Not the flow. Not the feature. One sentence that explained what would happen next.
I believe that most makers got into computers at an early age and worked in programs that may have already fallen into disrepair, but were crucial for their development and career direction.
Hi hosts! Here's a place to share questions and answers. There are hundreds of us all around the world, some more experienced in hosting events than others. Let's learn from each other.

This is probably one of the most debated topics in the startup world: Should you build an audience before you launch, or is it better to launch first and grow your audience afterward? I ve seen both approaches work, but each comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. - Building an audience first means you're creating buzz, validating your idea, and nurturing a community of early adopters who are invested in your success. But it takes time, patience, and a lot of effort to keep the momentum going before you even have a product to show. - Launching first lets you hit the ground running, gather real-world feedback, and iterate quickly. But without an existing audience, you might struggle to get those initial users and traction. So, indulge me: Which approach did you take or are you considering taking (those who haven't launched yet)? - Did you build an audience before launching your product, or did you launch and then focus on growth?
- What worked (or didn't work) for you?
- If you could go back, would you do it differently? Share your story with us so we can all learn from each other. There's someone here who could benefit from your experience. ----- P.S: If you're a growth-stage founder struggling with churn or stagnant customer acquisition (usually because of poor positioning and messaging), I'd love to help.
