Upvotes VS Community 🤔

What are you trying to achieve using Product hunt? Hey, I'm super new in the product hunt arena 'registered yesterday' Although I have a SaaS that I'm launching here, and another that's already been running for some years now. I always love to lead with a community even if they're not interested in the core product. Just, like minded people that share the same visions, experiences and an open mind to the tech space. I guess upvotes are what we all seek to help our businesses get off the ground and have a great launch, but it's the community that I want to build, those who cheer you on, those you can lean on, those who get exactly what's rattling around in your head 24/7... Hey my names Pete, I'm 44 - spent 15 years in the British army and was made redundant 10 years ago now :( Since then I've been sitting in my office 24/7 365 with my trusty dog names Ralf. Building, developing, and drinking copious amount of redbull, to which I've stopped drinking 'not healthy' lol... If you are reading this, I'm sure you're my type of friend. I love all things tech and have a daily mantra of 'Anything is possible' Dad of 2 Men - step father of 2 girls. Now I'm wondering if I should put this through chatGPT to clean it up lol, but i like to be honest, raw and open. Let's be friends PS I'm always looking for venture partners

Hi Pete! 👋 I was introduced to PH for our team's launch. That happened in March. Now, I'm just hanging out here post-work when I can't play Hogwarts Legacy yet 😅 Here's a weird ice-breaker question: if you were a bee where would you go? 🐝 (I'd be a super secret agent bee, trying to infiltrate a high-security building or something like that). Anyways, hope you're settling into PH okay! It's an honor to learn a glimpse of your story and I can't wait to have you share more about Flochat when the time comes :)

@gracehur Ha, great ice-breaker.... It's a tough one, taking that I'm living in the UK, i assume bee's can't fly around the world.. So would have to be somewhere close. I'd fly to a place called Ironbridge, which is only a few miles away. Fact for you, it was the first iron bridge in the world.
