Hi PH community! I will launch SelfyzAI on Product Hunt next week and it's my first time to do this. How about your first PH launch? Is It Worth It at All? If you had the chance to do it all over again, what would you do?

First was years ago and it went really well. If I were to do it over again I would launch more often!

Deeply engaging with the comments is such a must! Launching is just the beginning of the journey. I got so many good questions on my launch today which really energized me tomorrow and gave me good insight into which features I should build next.

I didn't pursue a high rank; I just wanted to release my product and get feedback. This made me more relaxed. We finally got a bunch of lovely users, and some newsletters reported on us.

I think that's a reasonable ambition @brandon_cccc. As an early stage start-up feedback is the most important so you know how you can improve. Everyone can not be product of the day/week/month.

I was unaware of PH at the time of launch, thus I did not benefit from it. But you may grow your network here.

The only thing Product Hunt is good for is backlinks (and maybe networking). But that's it. You won't get any actual users because everyone here is just promoting THEIR own product. That's the sad reality.

Well it's technically still going (Pagic, currently top 5) but it has gone beyond my expectations.
