Eager to try this. Favorite part so far has to be the Kitty Captain logo.

When I see this business opening a rev stream, it warms my heart. You and your team @rrhoover deserve all the success. Well done to you all.

@sam_cholera thanks, Sam. Want to give us money? 😉

@rrhoover be great to see mockup sites, to get an idea of what various subscription levels can build. Happy to be a guinea pig for you :)
Dylan Buckley
So now PH is just going to be filled of landing pages that look exactly the same?

@dylankbuckley the pages are entirely customizable, including the background image, copy, and even color of the subscribe button. Our goal was to create a consistent yet flexible presentation to inform people about upcoming products.

Wow! I'm super excited to test this out. What do you mean with "First come, first serve basis"? How many people will you let in in a given amount of time?

@imtateneko our goal is to onboard ~200 makers/day but we want to ensure we're confident the UX is clear so everyone has a good experience.

@rrhoover I actually got in earlier today. You are doing an amazong job. Keep it up!

I feel like I need to chime in on the subscription models. The subscription plans seemingly target two camps: (1) Those launching a multitude of MVPs, and (2) Those rapidly iterating and constantly announcing new features. In both camps, these may not be your general use case of a newly launched startup. It looks as though you've tried to cover this scenario with the Basic Free plan, however there's quite a chasm between FREE and PRO. Was the intent to focus on new startups or those which often announce beta feature updates? For example, DigitalOcean often releases beta updates. I'm of the personal opinion a plan is missing here for entrepreneurs who have a small handful of products they've been working on which doesn't warrant a $63.20/mo price point. It's hard to say, because I'm sure there's inherent value in your "Product promotion." You may want to discuss the features and benefits in far more detail on the landing page. It's lacking any substantive details. https://www.producthunt.com/ship

@cballou appreciate the feedback, Corey! Our hope is that Ship provides far more value than the amount people pay for. The value depends on your goals and which features you find useful. For example, currently you can email an unlimited number of people. If you were to use Mailchimp instead, you might pay several thousands of dollars every month to email your audience.

This looks pretty cool, but definitely got sticker shock when I saw the pricing for paid plans. (Other than the fact that PH made this) Why is this a better option than something similar like Launchrock, which is much less expensive (you get ~a year of Lauchrock for the same price as 1 month of Ship)?

@mccauley_jay Launchrock makes it super easy to setup a landing page and collect emails but they lack the community-driven discovery component, messaging (you'd have to signup for another email management tool to do this), and other features we're building. Our hope is that we can build something that provides far more value to makers the amount they pay. That's really the only way this will work. 😊
Jay McCauley
@rrhoover Gotcha. If PH has one thing going for it, it's definitely an engaged community, so definitely smart to have that baked in. Appreciate the reply!

Awesome way to engage and build a pre-launch audience! Looking forward to using it at some point.
