This summer, we made a bold decision to launch on Product Hunt. The problem? We had zero idea how to actually do it.
Well, almost zero. Our CTO @mokosiy was a massive Product Hunt fan, and his enthusiasm was our only compass. He armed us with the right stack: Cursor for code, PostHog for analytics, latest .NET and Avalonia to build the gorgeous app.
The Reality Check By August, the "Launching Soon" label we were banking on had vanished. We were flying blind. That's when the real work began. I didn't just read the guidelines; I followed them to the letter. We had to change the date of the Product Hunt launch five times. We realized that we weren't ready.
Really solid release, a clean, simple tool for cloning, backing up, and wiping drives without the usual complexity. Love that it supports both GUI and CLI workflows, which makes it useful for beginners and power users. Curious to see how it performs on larger or failing drives, but the value for a free utility is already strong.

@vik_sh Thanks for your support! As I continue saying, MultiDrive offers an enormous amount of value for free. On top of that, our team is very UX-driven. That's the reason why we put a lot of time and effort into the gorgeous, simple UI and flexible, nice CLI for the app.

Wow, and that's all for free?
MultiDrive
@loginincorrect That's the idea! I am a proponent of a lifestyle in which all basic things are free and ad-free. Having dealt with drives extensively, I'm confident that you shouldn't charge people to fully erase or back up their drives.
Which cloud service you are using to store data?
MultiDrive
MultiDrive is a desktop app that doesn't require Internet connection. The data is stored locally.
