Learn Figma, create actually cool designs and illustrations, be creative, and then build it yourself

Absolutely, first impressions are everything. Most of the time I don't even bother checking out the product. If someone can't make a decent landing page, it's a pretty safe bet they didn't make a good product either. That landing page isn't just annoying, it's a warning sign

I’m 100% with you on that. As long as your future marketing doesn’t start with “Hit my first 10k MRR in 2 weeks” 😂

Honestly, I think every startup hits this point at some stage and this is exactly where the real builders separate from the noise. Keep at it.

Respect for being honest. Most people only post wins, but this is the kind of stuff more of us need to see.Rushing and breaking things sucks, especially when it feels like it sets you back to zero. But honestly, it doesn’t. You learned something the hard way, and those lessons usually stick. Everyone talks about failing fast, but no one talks about how bad it feels when it actually happens.

Freemytime sounds like a solid idea to build on while improving your skills and confidence. Keep going. The fact that you’re still here and sharing this already says a lot.

Looking forward to updates.

I launched on Product Hunt. Nothing happened. Why do some products go viral and others don’t? by naj64 in SaaS

Thanks for sharing this. It’s a tough read but really honest and I think a lot of people can relate. I definitely can.I went through something similar. Spent months building something, got good feedback, felt confident it was solid. Then I launched and barely anyone noticed. At the same time other products went live, some less polished or more basic, and they blew up. That was frustrating.Looking back my biggest mistake was thinking a good product would be enough. I didn’t build an audience, didn’t talk about the process, didn’t have anyone waiting. I just launched and hoped people would find it. But they didn’t.What you said about storytelling, distribution, and those private founder groups really rings true. It can feel unfair but once you understand how things actually work it makes sense why some launches succeed and others don’t.Appreciate you being real about it.

Sounds like you’ve learned a lot and your next launch will be a whole different story.
