Hi, Product Hunters! It's been about 8 hours since we launched Codebay, and I just had to drop a big 'thank you.' I couldn't wait to share the incredible experience of our launch day with all of you.
Today, after the product was launched, I noticed that it wasn't initially featured on the homepage, which had me a bit concerned. However, around 20 minutes later, I was relieved to see it finally showcased there! Another interesting observation was that some products launched on the same day as Codebay received a rapid influx of votes, posing a significant challenge for us.
Currently, we stand at #6 in the rankings, which may not be at the very top, but what makes me the happiest is the valuable comments and feedback we've received. We've got around 140 upvotes, 47 insightful comments, and over 60 app downloads! No matter how our final ranking turns out, I want you to know that your support and valuable feedback mean the world to us.
This is just the beginning for Codebay, and we have so many exciting new features planned. We believe we can do even better, and your support gives us the confidence to keep pushing forward.
Thank you from the heart, and stay tuned for more Codebay adventures!

Hi Shane, congratulations and thanks for sharing your launch stats!
I've downloaded your app, signed in with Apple and shared my email. The app concept is very interesting and it looks great inside. I think it would be an advantage if you allow free users to try out more features without signing up for the 7-day free trial. And maybe the free trial would not be necessary as you still have the risk of users dropping off after the free trial. I used Mimo when I started to learn coding and this app reminds me of the great experience I had when learning to code via a mobile app. I'm definitely looking forward to your future updates!
I launched my product for the first time on PH too but unfortunately did not get the traction you experienced. So very very well done on you and your team! If you could spare sometime it would be great to hear your thoughts on how I could improve my launch and my product offering.

Best wishes!
Hi, @teamxearth , thanks for your candid feedback! It's much appreciated and will certainly help us improve. I took a look at your product launch as well, and I must say it's an interesting concept, even though it might have a more niche audience.
I noticed your product wasn't featured in the homepage picks, which might be because it didn't receive a substantial number of upvotes early on, and that could have affected its visibility. We had a similar experience where we weren't featured in the beginning, but as we garnered more votes, we eventually made it to the homepage picks. Being active in the community prior to the launch can indeed make a significant difference in getting more visibility.
@shaneyan Many thanks for your comments! It's definitely a niche-er audience but I hope to break that boundary with this product, after all investing can benefit everyone and our planet. Just like how learning Python empowers people to create, learning to value companies will empower investors and entrepreneurs to make intelligent decisions when buying, selling or holding equity.
Congrats on the launch!
