Hi PH, I'm Federigo from Italy, building small apps that do one thing well
by•
Hi everyone! I'm Federigo, I live in San Gimignano (Tuscany). After years working in a company, I started ELFI to build small, practical apps, the kind of tool that solves one clear problem without adding complexity to your day.
Right now I'm working on two:
– AppMatchly: you describe what you need in plain words and it suggests the apps that fit, each with its price and one honest limit.
– Bookmark Contacts: your bookmarks organized like a phone address book, with the website, phone, WhatsApp and email of a business on one card.
I'm new here and plan to launch the first one soon. One question for those who've launched before: what do you wish you had known before your first launch?

Welcome, Federigo! "Each with its price and one honest limit" is a lovely promise. One thing I wish I had known before my first App Store launch: check the app name early. Apple refuses a name that another developer account already uses, and the only real test is trying to save it. Several obvious names for my app came back as duplicates, so the store name ended up different from what I had in mind, and the main search word moved into the subtitle. Five minutes in App Store Connect before the logo and the domain would have saved a detour.
Welcome to Product Hunt, Federigo! One honest limit for every app is a lovely idea, I'd trust that list more than any star rating. I haven't launched here yet either, I'm getting ready for my first one. The one thing I'd tell my past self is to start talking with people here a lot earlier. So far, the people who show up for someone on launch day are the ones they've already chatted with in the weeks before.
