@modsquad well done, happy to see you grind your way mate :)

@snowyowl5 Thank you so much, tried to summarize it all in this post :)

@lin1966 I mean PH is mostly about your ability to motivate your audience to support you. If they feel the launch is really important, they will probably make sure you succeed, by quoting you, reposting you, sharing your story. If on the other side, you just posted once, they may not show the...

@mabris That's really nice of you. Being reactive and building in public is in opinion the best way to create a product people love. At least, that's my goal

@mayuyou Thank you. The MVP took me about a month, then I started by inviting product makers to try it for ~10 days, before deciding to launch it on PH. I'd say 2-3 weeks was the right amount of time to know which features to focus on for the PH launch :)

@lisab123 Absolutely, I already share all the stats & analytics, that's part of how I feel about building in public. Posted yesterday, and after 10h, this post has 15k views and 80 total shares.

@lisab123 That's a good question. In my case, I'm all-in, but I have many friends who also have a 9-5 job alongside their indie hacking journey. Using your personal brand for your 9-5 could also work, depending on how your boss feels about social media.

@rethink88 I think they mostly focus on VC backed companies. That's a shame cause many smaller creators (me included) create worthy products, but that's another debate probably. You can always reach me here on Reddit in the dms (or on Twitter). Simpler to keep it simple & manual for now ;)

@rethink88 Absolutely, I review every submission manually for now. I'm also working on improving the onboarding so you receive an automatic email. Products are onboarded on the 1st of each month, with some mid-month batches too. Making sure you'll be in the next one in April, except if you...

@rethink88 Haha, thank you. I'm not really trying to compete with PH, but instead to fill a gap they aren't addressing :)

@tmtj There's no magic bullet I guess, but in my case, I mostly focused on daily interacting with other product builders. I did it over 2023-2024. Also gave lot of help, feedback and got involved in various projects. These people were the core adopters of my platform. When you start a community...

@newbie2016 Totally, building a community is the hardest part. Not an audience (unidirectional), but rather a community where your daily engage with people you like. It also involves daily community interactions. I started nurturing mine probably 1 year ago, and it's still a work in progress :)

After feeling most launch platforms were missing something, I started my own with a simple difference: help product makers get feedback over a month, and not just fight for upvotes during a launch day. I shipped the platform and submitted it to Product Hunt. The results were 5k+ visits on...
