π¦? I should have known that this crew is PH all the way! From what I can tell it's certainly the most purpose built platform for launching and getting feedback and definitely the best community. π

We haven't launched π on PH yet but the #1 thing I've gotten so far is great advice and encouragement from super positive, supportive, and well-intentioned founders, makers, hustlers, and early adopters! π Hopefully I've been able to give some useful feedback and pointers along the way.
What's the #1 thing being active on PH brought you?

"What I tell founders is not to sweat the business model too much at first. The most important task at first is to build something people want. If you don't do that, it won't matter how clever your business model is."

Connect your social accounts! I can't say for certain which will help automatically build your following, but my hunch is that Twitter is the main one. I connected all my social accounts. Nothing happened immediately but the next day when I logged in I had a few dozen followers. My guess is that these are PH users that also connected their Twitter accounts. Anyone that didn't connect their...

Hey PHers!

Wondering if anyone can share their experience or expertise on major difference...

Assuming youβre not creating a new collaboration platform but rather making sure that your product is optimized for collaboration, then I would vote for real time messaging but also add that syncing your messaging system with Slack and MSFT teams is a good way to make sure your product fits within the channels that +90% of teams are already collaborating.

Interesting question. For me taking of Wednesday would probably have a negative effect on my work, because most of the things that I need to do realistically can't get accomplished in 1 day and being able to focus over a few days is very useful. For other people/jobs, I think it could be great for the reasons Viorica mentions.
Do you think there should be a mid-week off on Wednesday?

Would love to understand this as well... I'm playing around with the free version. :)
Did you try Ship? What benefits did you get via this option before your launch on PH?

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but it might be worth checking out Brex. They are a credit card (and now banking too) company for startups and their reward program is centered around the stuff you're likely to buy (SaaS/Cloud, computer equipment, etc.). It's pretty straightforward to issue and manage virtual cards for your team (you manage limits, can cancel them easily, etc.), and...

How do followers work on product hunt? Do I need them to successfully launch a product?
Hey there! I'm gearing up for my first launch π on product hunt, and am trying to do my homework. I found some great advice here about whether or not you need a lot of followers yourself to successfully launch, but it does really explain how followers work more generally and how people with big followings could benefit our launch.
I've given up hope on gathering a big following myself before...

Very cool to see email continue to evolve and get more interactive. Seems like this product could be great for getting regular customer input, support feedback, or maybe even making the product hunt daily newsletter interactive? Could you upvote product hunts from within the email using this form mechanism?
Anyways, very cool. Congrats on the launch.
