Missing an invite to the most hyped TestFlight apps? We were too. So we made a thing. We will send you a new unreleased app every Friday.

Hey everyone 👋 Aaron from Product Hunt here. We recently saw how popular TestFlights apps were becoming but realised there was no real simple way to discover them. That's why we built Product Hunt Early to help everyone discover new unreleased apps and to help makers find beta testers for their apps.

@choco_chu Good Q, we wanted to try SMS as a new experiment. Theres a few reasons which include engagement rates which were appealing when compared to email :)

@choco_chu We are definitely looking at more ways to include those outside the US and Canada! Good suggestion! :D

@aaronoleary Please don't take the above comment too seriously. It was great that you were so willing to receive constructive criticism. I hope the Product Hunt community can continue to be helpful and supportive instead!

@aaronoleary do you have any additional info / criteria for submitted apps?

Shout out to @Mazzeo who did something similar to this called Lowercase Alpha years ago. 👍🏼
Skylor
@mazzeo @rrhoover I remember wanting access to Lowercase Alpha from years ago but was US only! Great idea to bring it back in a new fashion, signing up :)
Chris Messina
@rrhoover did he ever send any invites out? I think I got one or two?
Jonathan Berkey
can it be an app that is in the App Store? I regularly have updates in TestFlight I need testers for too. Like right now :)

@berkshop It has to be unreleased with a testflight! You can fill out the survey here
Eric Snider
This is a great idea – so much easier to open a link in Messages vs. other methods and reaching users directly is cool
Harsh Gelda
Just the US and Canada..!? This sucks.

Very unclear. Text on the given number...but what you want me to text???

@nilsej You can text anything you like even something like "Hey" :)
Imran Ijaz
?makers Right, but I am from the rest of the world, so not good one for me at all.

Fix your texting number next time! It's impossible to edit the number in messages once it's in the address field. 🙄
Gabe Grimley
I texted the number that was in the email. I have had 3 spam text messages and 6 spam calls in the last 6 minutes. Big oof.
