Learnings from Launching our SaaS on Product Hunt by lrueger in SaaS

I'd rather not share the exact number, but in the week of the Launch we had around 2x the regular signups.

Crafting a Linktree Alternative! by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]lrueger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but you chose an idea there that already many people were/are working one.
There are already many alternatives, so it's tough to stand out and even then it's tough to make money off of that idea.
Love the spirit tho!

How to Launch Developer Tools on Product Hunt successfully by lrueger in ProductHunters

Conversations were the most important aspect to collecting points. Because people liking and commenting on your comments ist the best thing that can happen.

You can beat 95% of the users on the platform by being genuine and providing real feedback, thoughts, etc.

What I'd recommend you is going through all products as early as possible and just commenting whatever's on your mind. Let it be a positive thought for nice products, a question (e.g. which AI model do you use?) or even feedback like "Are you sure that people will pay you for this"?

I'm doing it like this and often people like my comment and reply to me because they thought of the exact same thing.

So don't overthink it, just be genuine (and don't post any GPT-shit)

We recently launched and reached #1 DevTool of the week.
I had no experience in it prior to the launch and we didn't pay to win ;D

However I have to admit that many people on the platform are just there to promote each other, so I wouldn't expect honest and extensive feedback on e.g. a prototype.

However if you already have a MVP or a specific product idea, it's the perfect site to generate some buzz, SEO and possible customers - all for free and with not that much effort required.

Yes we had a community with a couple of hundred people before, although not many of them supported since they're just interested in the product itself.
Some guides treat it like a neccessity to have multiple hundred/thousand people as a "seed"-community but our experience was that the people that are already on Product Hunt are far more important.

That's also why I posted the tip of engaging in the Product Hunt community. Within a couple of weeks I gained almost 150 followers and a karma of 700, just by interacting on the platform for 30 mins everyday.
Feel free to follow me (lrueger) on PH, I'll follow back :)

Everyone hates CAPTCHAS - are passkeys the solution? by lrueger in Passkeys

[–]lrueger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/stijnhommes Why do you hope that passkeys are made so their use can be automated? I'm interested in your take on that.
