Launch Update - Sampld

After 300+ votes and hundreds of new traffic coming into Sampld - I can honestly say that our launch has been successful! I tried to do the best I could to prepare for the launch but I wasn't really aiming to rank this high (we were #3 at some point yesterday, but bumped to #4 right now) so it's a little unexpected - but in a positive way!
I've been having a blast engaging with the community - you guys are all awesome! Everyone feels sincere in supporting each other. I also get to learn from you all while gaining potential partnerships along the way.
For fellow makers who are launching soon - good luck! Don't stress this out, PH exposure is great but it's not a make-or-break. Your launch is way more than upvotes and comments, it's more to do with what happens afterwards. A couple years ago when we launch the first version of Sampld, we were only ranked 6th but the next few days we had thousands of new users coming in as there were blogs and other websites that spotted our launch.
I'll try to make the most of the final 4 hours to end up on a high note. BIG thank you to everyone who's supported Sampld! We'll keep building 💪

@lakshya_singh thank you, Lakshya! Not quite sure about becoming the product of the week but we definitely had a successful launch 😀
Congrats 🎉
This is a very good result! We will be launching at the end of November, I hope it will work out too.
@maria_anosova Thank you, and yes it is! I will definitely be checking out your launch - hopefully it'll be even more successful than ours 🙂
Great job @florian_pranata_hidayat and finishing 4th is awesome! I think it's such an important thing to note that while PH is amazing for exposure, our products (and ourselves!) are bigger than the success of our PH launch. It's easy to get caught up in it all and sometimes a little step outside of the box is all that is needed. Of course, we all want to succeed and rank high on pH but it never hurts to have this perspective too!
@carolmoh Thank you, Carol! Yes, honestly it's going to end up becoming toxic if we just focus on the rankings. It's not really the point of launching, in my opinion - taking in constructive feedback, listening to what your new users have to say, or even the potential partnerships that might arise are some of the things that are way more important than a number on PH 🙂
Congratulations! I see this was quite a ride but the result is impressive, and that's what matters :)
