Designing the future, one launch at time

About

Founder of Elegant Tech LLC and DesignShare. Building products for founders since 2017. We started with a small in-house design team. Nine years later, we are a product studio of designers, engineers, and AI specialists working as one team, taking founders from idea to live product in six weeks. 315+ projects, 170+ clients, no handoffs between three vendors who never talk to each other. We are building a few products of our own now, launching here later this year. Follow along if you want to see them early. Otherwise, I am in the comments on design tooling, AI infra, and anything a solo maker shipped alone; say hi if that's you.

Makers who replaced a spreadsheet: what did week 6 look like?

Launch week retention is easy to get. I want to hear about week 6, when the novelty is gone and your tool is competing with the spreadsheet it replaced.

If you've shipped something that took over from a Google Sheet or a Notion table, what kept people in it past the first month? And what did the ones who left go back to?

Share your B2B website. I'll show you who I'd contact first, and who I wouldn't.

I once paid an outbound agency $30,000 and got zero meetings in six months.

When we built AiSDR, I learned how easy it is to automate the emails while leaving the hardest decisions to the customer: who to contact, why now, and what to offer.

Is Product Hunt still worth launching on?

I have seen a lot of people step back from platforms like LinkedIn after watching established accounts get randomly restricted without clear explanations. It makes you realize how risky is it to rely heavily on a platform that can pull the rug on your reach out of nowhere.

That situation made me rethink product Hunt. it used to be the go-to place for real feedback from early adopters. lately, though, it feels dominated by upvote groups, artificial praise, and makers trading favors. It's hard to tell if a top spot actually brings real users anymore or just temporary noise.

For anyone launching recently, where do you stand? Is Product Hunt still delivering real traction, or has it become too noisy to be worth the effort?
