Imagine your product is due to be launched tomorrow morning. You’re very excited, but also kinda concerned. What would you consider as the worst outcome? Please share!

I believe the worst-case scenario for us would be that our Product is initially successful on launch day, but our infrastructure is not able to handle the concurrent users. And then, rest of the launch day is spent on fixing those issues instead of working on getting the word out. What would be your worst case scenario? @tal_buchshreiber1

@tal_buchshreiber1 I'm sure people will be missing out on a lot then!

@nirnimes Thanks for sharing! Mine would be no one ever using the product, raising no interest at all.

As a cofounder of an edtech app like ProApp, it's natural to have some concerns about launching. One of our biggest fears is the possibility of encountering unexpected technical issues or bugs that might affect the user experience. However, we've been working tirelessly to ensure a smooth launch and have a dedicated team ready to address any hiccups that may come our way. In terms of the worst-case scenario, it would be disheartening if our message about ProApp doesn't reach the right audience and doesn't get the attention it deserves. But we're optimistic about the value our app brings to learners, and we're doing our best to spread the word far and wide. If you're curious to learn more about ProApp and its features, feel free to check it out here: (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) We'd love to have you onboard and appreciate any feedback you might have!

The worst-case scenario would be that my product is a complete failure and that I have to shut down my business. This would be a devastating outcome, but it is something that I need to be prepared for.

The worst case scenario is that no one likes the product and finds it useless. We launch next week, would love your support! (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...)

The traditional launch to crickets is most likely. But you improve as you go along.

The worst-case scenario would be our solution not solving the problem it was designed for effectively. But hopefully that's not the case ahaha
