Every day, we'll curate new stories from Makers β whether they're long-time CEOs or solo creators β to give real, accessible insight into what it means to make a product, build a team, acquire the first 100 users, and all the other things that go into building something new. πͺ
At Product Hunt, we hear a lot about what it means to make a product β whether it's in the comments of a launch post, in a tweetstorm, on our podcast or in our DMs. The details behind these stories often translate into a lesson another Maker could use.
The idea behind Maker Stories is to put all of these βHow I did Xβ anecdotes in one place. These will come as traditional blog posts, reimagined Twitter threads, Q&A sessions and other experimental formats.
And we want to hear from you!

ππ½ This is so exciting, congrats team! I find tapping into Makers' stories across different platforms and social networks such an engaging way to learn, improve my productivity and feed my curiosity. Makes perfect sense for a platform like Product Hunt to be a hub for these, can't wait to read em all π
Awesome work @rrhoover@taylormajewski, This will help discover others the other side of the products (makers story). What challenges, hurdles and success went behind building the product.
@rrhoover@taylormajewski Recently was thinking about starting a podcast about makers and their stories behind making it

Now makers have a perfect place to express how did they came up with the idea, how did they achieve it, how did they launched etc etc. Interesting idea to check. It looks a lot like medium for makers stories. Will try to post mine soon. Congrats team PH πππ

Great idea! Often I find it inspiring to read about the journey behind a product launch - good or bad. The experience of others can be incredibly valuable and help avoid unnecessary challenges a long the way.
I strongly believe that you should use all the help you can get and make the most of it. Building a successful business is not the easiest thing in the world :D
This will certainly be something I will find useful in the future.
