Hello Makers,
I would love to know where you guys are at building your product. Let's see if we can help each other. I will start. I am close to finishing up my product. But I need to do testing. Where are you?

Recently released new version of LightCat (https://www.LightCat.io), to help keep your Product Stack in one place for Free (or $9 - instead of $50+ per user).
Lightcat is built around the following thesis.
- User Stories should point to resources(specs, designs) without copy-pasting links.
- (soon) Story should track it's impact on the metrics by itself - not in Tableau.
I am an indie-developer with an accelerator backing. So have been doing dev and growth together at the same time.
Right now I am actively onboarding PM's and Product teams, and parallely doing as much UX testing as possible.

@kush_apoorva That's great, kush. If you don't mind telling, how did you come up with the product pricing?
Buddha to Bezos
@realdesigntack Pricing is one of the hard nuts to crack, and we are not done yet. But for starters, I looked at the market I was trying to reach out to (Product teams at small / medium companies) and what they typically pay for softwares.

@jelani_abdus_salaam Thanks for your kind words Jelani. "Crushing it" or hardly how I'd put it though - rather its more like "managed to live another day" :-)
I am building my agency website. Long due!

Clubhype
Super early with a new product idea, trying to figure out what to ask in a survey to validate the idea and how to reach a good number of people. Anyone got some leads on gaming communities who like to answer small surveys? :)
@mediaquery I am pretty sure the gaming communities you are looking for are Gaming Discord Servers. Lurk for your answers there :)
LifeViewer 2.1
We've launched LifeViewer 2.1 here on Product Hunt today. Please give it a try 🙏
We launched 3 months ago with a B2B model, but had limited traction. Deciding it takes a long time to build that brand, we just launched a B2C model.
We help people thrive in unemployment, so decided to speak and sell directly to our users- recently unemployed Americans.
Bit of a scary pivot, but happy we did it!

Devsheet
Launched my product - https://devsheet.com/ and it is getting organic traffic also. But still working on some features that will be useful if you are a programmer. Also I have created a fun website https://www.joyadda.com and its version2 beta is in testing mode along with its mobile app developed using Flutter.
I am looking for suggestions regarding marketing of Devsheet as right now only a few developers write their articles and ask question on the platform. How can I make this website trustworthy enough so that the programmers could share their knowledge on the website continuously. Thanks and best of luck with the products that you all are working on.
My Career Roadmap
1. I'm stuck at the pitch-deck especially on the Finance aspect, I'm having trouble on where to start on meaning... I don't know how much money I want to raise and where would I start to invest those proceeds in.
2. Building wire-frames for the product (map) I'm working on
3. The product/service I'm working right now is a big massive one and I don't know the Roadmap, I don't know where I must start first.
@akhil_draksharapu You should start by validating the market and your idea, first. It will save you a lot of time, down the line. About raising the money part, You can do this:- Create an ideal product for yourself, write down what are the main features / services you are offering and from their, go on building the model. This way, it will also help you to identify what exactly do you need money for.

its on closed beta. tested 90% ready to be launched pretty soon..
Close to finishing, still to figure out payment options, should I bill monthly or both monthly/yearly. But there is a huuuge space between me reaching out to my potential clients :D
We have a working product but still adding more features. We had some customers but this pandemic has led them tu suspend our service while they reopen the businesses. :(
Me and the team are preparing the first public stress test of our MVP: copyrage.com
We are developing a tool to match hobby traders/bettors with professionals with verified performance. I would appreciate advice where we can get loyal testers!
Light Invoice
I'm still writing code and trying to get people interested. I feel like i'm doing all the mistakes possible:
- don't have test
- no one is interested in the project but I still work on it
- I don't have a clear vision of the project
Good luck with your projects 💪
@oussama_hamdaoui what is the project about?
Light Invoice
@choky thanks for your interest. The project is called my-stack.xyz it’s like GitHub but for all kind of creators. People can share opportunities or keep them private and work on them. Here are some features available:
- a todo list
- notes
- email reminder
- tags
Coming soon:
- audio notes (will be available tomorrow or day after)
- polls
- images
@choky @oussama_hamdaoui Well, this seems like a great idea! Don't let your hopes down. Maybe you can niche you audience and have a great community there. Let me know if you need help.
Light Invoice
@realdesigntack , thank you 🙏, I'm not giving up on this one 😆. If you could give me any feedback that would be awesome.
@oussama_hamdaoui I already did. Maybe you can search for a niche where your product would be beneficial. Or you can create an MVP and start beta. Improve as you go.

Jooseph
We are changing a couple of big things at Jooseph - Community Curated Library of Best Articles, Videos and More, from the feedback and data we have gathered our 500 Beta users. Still it's hard to grow and gather feedback from people.
That makes us suspicious about the necessity of idea, sometimes. What you're up to :)
@firatdogan I am working on Designtack which is an upcoming online tool for creating social media content. Joospeh seems interesting! I would check it out soon.
Jooseph
@realdesigntack I look up your site and it's a really great idea. I had hard time creating instagram content for my previous products instagram account.
@firatdogan You are going to love it & It will help you certainly. Have you signed up?
Getting ready to launch it on PH tomorrow! We’ve been beta testing for a couple of months. Still some things to iron out but want to get it in more peoples hands.
We’re building Ladder, a mental wellness assistant powered by data. Our goal is to help people build more self-efficacy and advocacy when it comes to well-being.
@realdesigntack Hi Vaibhav, we actually just went live https://www.producthunt.com/post...! I'd appreciate your feedback!
Vype Gaming
I'm working on getting designs and content for a website/PH page that I will use to understand if anyone wants my product. Why invest resources and time into building something without testing it in the market (forums, PH, reddit, etc).
What I've come to learn from this "quick" test, is that it's not so quick but its faster/cheaper than reaching an MVP product and no one wanting it.
It has so far included:
1. Designs (App and Website)
2. Domain purchase
3. Hosting services
4. Product Hunt "Ship" costs
5. Wordpress implementation (easier for me since I'm slightly experienced in it)
6. Outreach to different channels to promote when the time comes (time consuming)
7. General conversations with colleagues and friends for feedback (more time)
I have finished and launched recently https://sharely.in. I want to market the the app i'm still thinking about how to do it. If you want any help regarding development. I'll try my best to help.
@sanjaykhanssk Thank you for help. I like your product. Do you have any demo links to see?

From a budget perspective I’m creating a web app first and converting it to a native mobile later... it’s the most cost effective way because I’m not a developer so that’s where I am 🤷🏽♀️
@monique_davis Hey, That's great. My project is a web app as well. Let me know if you need help. As a developer, I have some experience around them.
I'm working on a chat app that maps the different topics mentioned in a conversation, to help organize better big group conversations. It took time to really start building it and a lot of effort and research in design it but we will have a beta version in a few month !
