Simon here, 11 years since my last PH Launch

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Simon.

I last launched something on Product Hunt back in 2014 - which feels like a lifetime ago in internet years. Since then I’ve built, scrapped, learned, and spent a lot of time thinking about how products actually get used versus how we think they’ll get used.

Lately I’ve been deep in a very specific rabbit hole: how professionals use LinkedIn when they’re not trying to be “creators” - just people building credibility, relationships, and inbound over time.

A few things that keep coming up for me:

• Most people don’t struggle with posting - they struggle with knowing where to engage and how to sound like themselves.

• A lot of advice optimizes for checklists, not outcomes.

• Small changes in positioning and engagement behavior often beat volume.

I’m here mostly to listen and relearn:

• What’s changed since the early PH days?

• What’s actually worked for you lately?

• What problems are still weirdly unsolved?

I am working on something in this space and will share more when it’s ready - for now, just happy to be back and learning with the community.
