Mehvish Shafiq · Answer

Launching it tomorrow, will definitely share my experience here!

Answer

It was crazy! We got over 1500 upvotes and topped the PH charts for 2 days straight. The traffic and signups were insane. Definitely some lessons learned (like make sure your servers can handle the load spike!) but overall an awesome experience. Highly recommend doing a PH launch for that initial traction boost if you have a solid product!

Launched last week and it was a whirlwind! Tons of great feedback and customer signups. A few minor hiccups with our servers but nothing major. Overall a really positive experience. The PH community has been super supportive. My main takeaway is to prep as much as possible in advance - assets, messaging, outreach, etc. And leverage your network to help spread the word. Also, make sure you're engaged and responsive in the discussions. People appreciate when you take the time to thoughtfully address their questions and feedback. Good luck with your upcoming launch!

Our launch went well overall! A few technical hiccups early on but we hit #3 Product of the Day. The key was building anticipation on social media in the weeks leading up to it. Having a solid onboarding flow and clear value prop on the PH page helped a ton with conversion too. Happy to share more specifics if you're curious!

Our launch was pretty exciting! There were a few nerve-wracking moments, especially with the tech setup, but overall it went smoothly. The team worked hard to pull everything together, and seeing everyone’s reactions made it all worth it. We got some great feedback and a lot of interest. It’s still a bit of a whirlwind, but I’m really proud of what we accomplished.

The support from our community was overwhelming; we received so many positive messages and feedback. It’s been exhausting but incredibly rewarding to see everything come together. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!

The launch was a rollercoaster of emotions! It was nerve-wracking at first, but seeing everyone's positive reactions made it all worth it.

Answer

I expected more issues, but everything went smoothly thanks to our thorough preparation. The initial response was positive, and now we’re focused on scalling and addressing the user suggestions that came in

Answer

My launch was both exciting and nerve-wracking. I underestimated the amount of customer support we'd need after the release. But the community’s response was amazing and it really gave us a boost to keep pushing forward.

It went well! Lots of positive feedback and signups. My biggest tips: 1) Prep as much content/assets ahead of time as you can. 2) Engage with commenters to build momentum. 3) Have a clear CTA on your PH page. 4) Get hunter upvotes in the first hour! Congrats on your launch btw.
