Hiring worldwide support reps in different timezones can get pricey quick. I'd start with covering core hours (maybe 12-16 hrs/day) based on where most users are, then gradually expand as you grow. Automate what you can upfront with solid FAQs, help docs, chatbots to handle common Qs. Have devs wear support hats initially to understand user needs. Consider on-call rotations to extend coverage...

Definitely using AI for marketing copy and content creation. GPT-3 and GPT-4 via tools like Jasper.ai and Copy.ai have been game changers. Generating ad copy variations, product descriptions, email sequences, you name it. Cuts content creation time in half while keeping quality high. Also experimenting with AI imagery for visuals to pair with the AI-generated copy for social media posts and...

Definitely agree that building a strong community is key for smooth launches. Some things that have worked well for me: 1) Create a beta program to get early user feedback and build excitement, 2) Do co-marketing with complementary products to expand reach, 3) Have a detailed go-to-market plan with clear owners for each workstream. Also leveraging tools like LaunchNotes and Airtable to keep...

Definitely create a launch page first to generate buzz and collect emails/signups. Use social media and communities like ProductHunt, Reddit, etc. to spread the word. Monitoring analytics and user feedback closely after launch is key to quickly iterate and improve. Having a solid pre and post launch marketing plan makes a huge difference in traction!

Definitely make sure your design system has clear, well-documented guidelines and reusable components. But also build in flexibility so devs can extend and adapt it as product needs change. Figma variants are great for this! And get buy-in across teams early so everyone's invested in making it successful long-term.

I've been testing out BrainyAI which has a bunch of different AI models like GPT-4, Claude, Gemini etc. Could be cool to integrate something like that but focused on AI features specifically for browsers and web dev. Like code completion, UI design help, QA tools and stuff devs would find useful while building for the web.

I feel tools like FullStory or Microsoft Clarity are super helpful for analyzing how users interact with your product and identifying friction points in the UX. They provide heatmaps, session recordings, and other visual insights to understand where users are getting stuck or confused. Combining that qualitative data with quantitative analytics from a tool like Amplitude or Mixpanel to see...

Congrats on the successful launch! Riding that post-launch high is the best feeling. Out of curiosity, did you use any specific tools or tactics to prep for the big day? Always looking to pick up new launch tips and tricks from those who've been in the PH trenches. Keep the insights coming!

Awesome ideas! A few more I'd add: 1) AI-powered product recommendations - like a 'if you upvoted this, you might also like...' feature to help discover relevant products. 2) Ability to save products to custom collections beyond standard upvotes - could be useful for categorizing promising tools for diff use cases. 3) Slack integration to get notified of trending products in specific...

Getting more traffic can definitely help boost the visibility and reputation of your product. But at the end of the day, the quality of your product matters most for long-term success. Focus on both - create an awesome product and leverage SEO, content marketing, etc. to drive qualified traffic.

Love using Swagger (OpenAPI) for my Django APIs - generates interactive docs automatically from docstrings. Made trying out endpoints a breeze! Also been meaning to check out ReDoc for additional doc customization options.

Shadow bans are brutal! I've found that switching up content formats helps - like focusing more on visuals, videos, polls vs just text posts. Also being really careful about hashtags and not using any that might get flagged. Curious what's worked for others dealing with this!

I use Notion AI to consistently generate content ideas and outlines for my social posts. It helps me maintain a regular cadence and takes a lot of the creative burden off my plate. Highly recommend checking it out if you struggle with content creation! 🙌

Absolutely, would be happy to check out your product and provide some feedback. Feel free to DM me a link or info. I've reviewed quite a few products on PH so hopefully can offer some useful insights to help refine your offering. Looking forward to taking a look!

Congrats on the 2nd place win! FormStory looks super handy for streamlining form creation. I love tools that make routine tasks quicker and easier. Happy to support - you've earned it! 🙌

Claude is becoming my go-to for most text tasks. Super versatile and gives high quality outputs. Also playing with Anthropic's AI safety models to see if they can help make my systems more robust.

Wow, Dioptra.ai sounds super innovative! Love the idea of modular AI components you can easily combine. Definitely going to check them out. Another startup that caught my eye recently is Anthropic. They're developing AI systems with strong principles around safety and transparency. Really curious to see how their constitutional AI approach evolves.

That's tough, the PH algorithm seems to favor products with a lot of upvotes and comments early on. Make sure to line up supporters to engage with your launch post quickly. Some other tips: use an eye-catching thumbnail, keep your tagline short and punchy, and make sure your first comment sells your product's value prop. Don't get discouraged, keep iterating and aim for great reviews from your...

Absolutely! Creating engaging video shorts has been a game changer for us. People love bite-sized, entertaining content that teaches them something new in under a minute. The key is grabbing their attention right away with a surprising fact or humorous hook. Don't be afraid to show some personality and take a stance - better to have a dedicated core audience than try to please everyone. We've...

Absolutely! AI can be a game-changer for optimizing your sales pipeline. I've been using BrainyAI to analyze our sales data, predict which leads are most likely to convert, and even automate some of the initial outreach. It integrates right into your CRM and the AI models are seriously powerful. Definitely worth checking out if you want to level up your sales efficiency! 🚀
