Ship is a toolkit for makers to build awesome products. Use Ship to generate demand, build an email list, and communicate with your audience, and ship product.
Would love to test this feature! I think it is really great for getting feedback and information on your idea/Product! Nice!

Based on the demo, this tool will streamline the pre-launch efforts, ie very cool to have a landing page to collect leads. Can't wait to try it out. Hopefully will fit my purpose as I'll be launching a product here too :)
Pros:
Looks like a simple integration to Landing and starts collecting leads. Can't beat a free version even I'm on the waiting list
Cons:
Can't say until I use it

I'm seriously anticipating a spin-off here; Shit by Product Hunt :)
I have been using Ship since August and gained most subscribers from the Product Hunt community. You are able to message all the users who have subscribed to your product to keep them up to date. Ship is a great way to use user feedback before, during, and after you build your product.
Pros:
Get early validation and an easy intro page to built for your product. Users can sign up through the page on Product Hunt and give feedback.
@rrhoover - would it be possible to add something to the “upcoming pages” user journey that alloys users to actually get back to the “upcoming” list, once they have clicked into any upcoming page and subscribed to it (or not).
I find this particularly irritating and it actually puts me off going in to an upcoming page. I havent mentioned it before because I assumed it would have been an obvious evolution, but it’s been a lonnng Time now.

Had I known about this earlier, I wouldn't have spent so much time sweating over a WP landing page!
Hopefully going to use Ship soon. Bravo PH!
@rrhoover, loving Ship so far but why no social proof on mobile?

There is no link to Ship on a mobile device, have to manually type the URL. When I've had issues with submission or questions, it has taken 2-3 days to get a reasonable response.
For example, I just posted an upcoming product and the image is not showing. I have no idea why, I correctly uploaded the logo in all the right locations. I've engaged with the Product Hunt support and so far it has been 2 days, they still have no clue what I'm talking about when I say the logo for my upcoming page is not working, I've had two separate support staff ask questions, and there is no acknowledgment of the problem or response to when it will be fixed.
Cancelling the service due to poor customer support, poor UX design, and glitchy experience.
Pros:
Access to the community
Cons:
Extremely poor customer service and support, glitchy website, and unclear information on how your items are promoted.

You have no idea how perfect your timing is with mine! Looking forward to some exciting things to realize with Ship ;)
