We're constantly looking for ways to reduce the pain and cognitive load of managing your calendar.

We started with something simple: CC Ting in an email and it schedules the meeting for you.

Self-centred update today, but adding the top Product Hunt badge to our site felt real good. See bottom right of image, also online here: meet-ting.com

Thanks again, gives us pride and satisfaction.

Hey all,

In our recent Ting v2 launch, we talked about giving your calendar your brain so it can make decisions for you. That means moving from reactive proactive full automation.

As a new product in closed beta, we did surprisingly well in our debut on Product Hunt. I ve already written about our full launch-day tactics (see previous forum post), but some founders reached out asking:

What specifically worked for Product Hunt?

Here are the 5 biggest things I will repeat as we plan a future open beta launch. I hope it helps you too!

Before I started Ting, I did the classic founder things...

Read every Paul Graham essay.
Listened to Masters of Scale.
Obsessed over founder stories.

Hey all - I see a lot of posts here (and even more on Reddit + founder forums) about working with influencers and creators. Why? Well, they control attention, and we all need it!

I used to run creators at adidas (there it s anyone from an artist to an athlete to an influencer). After that I was at TikTok (where creators = the product - without them, the algo has nothing to match).

There s a lot you end up thinking about as a startup founder.

Success, doom... and the question that connects those dots:

Hopefully this isn t your second Ting notification overload in a couple of days

We got top three launch for the day yesterday! We're so delighted and grateful. Thank you for upvotes, comments, good vibes and giving us the energy to keep pushing.

We said we d give Product Hunt something extra, but we didn't want to spam yesterday.

I wrote last week about how we re building Ting on two axes: one to get attention, the other to build the product.

On attention, we re doing pretty well in 3-weeks:

• 1k on the waitlist.

• 200 people have joined meetings booked by Ting already.

• 375 invites sent out so far...

Dear PH community,

Next week marks six months of Ting - and it would feel wrong not to do something special here, where it all started.
