100 days later, haven't crossed $100 yet with my app. Any recommendations?

Just recently, my first iOS app, Super Counter, reached the 100-day milestone.

Building and growing an app is no easy feat; it takes more than just development; strong distribution and significant time spent on marketing and promotion are essential to see real results. Balancing this with a full-time job during the week has made it especially challenging for me. Even after 100 days, my app still hasn t earned its first $100.

Do you think Product Hunt should verify domain ownership for submitted products? 😄

Product Hunt is great for discovery , but sometimes there are concerns about authenticity and trust when products are submitted by people not affiliated with them.

Would verifying domain ownership (e.g., via email or DNS) help ensure that only legitimate makers or teams can submit a product? Or would it add too much friction to the launch process?

Which activity within the Product Hunt launch brought you the most engagement?

By engagement, I mean upvotes, comments, shares basically anything that helps your product get to the top of the voting.

Do you have an overview of which tactics were most effective in this regard?

Hunters who are visible and active on Product Hunt – Short List

I usually get a few messages from makers during the week asking if I could hunt them.

Short answer: I don't currently hunt (but maybe in the future)

I was asked to delete a featured launch, but it's actually missing the point.

I had an experience today I wanted to share and get some thoughts on. Someone reached out to me asking if I could delete one of my past Product Hunt launches a product that was featured and received great attention on its launch day.

The reason given? They're planning an "official," coordinated launch next month and, based on their stated "research into PH rules," believed that a previous launch within six months would prevent their launch from being featured. They wanted a guaranteed feature, so they hoped removing the previous record would help.

I decide what's featured on the leaderboard - AMA w/ Gabe from Product Hunt

Hi everyone, Gabe here! I lead curating Product Hunt's leaderboard.

First thing I will say is that if I could feature every single product that works, I would. I love supporting makers and demoing products. I actually try to test every single thing that gets hunted every day... which is A TON.  But I view our job as to surface the most interesting, novel, useful, and innovative products - daily. Now we may not always get it right, the process isn't perfect, but we're trying to do right by the community.

What will be your moat considering in a few years, everyone can be a builder and creator?

The last few months have blown me away not for the announcements but for the actual use tools like Cursor, Windsurf and the even recent ones like Bolt or Lovable.
As someone who has no knowledge of coding, I have been up during nights materialising the product in my head into an web/app that I can run on my device - all through conversational english. With such pace and removal of barriers, what do you think the next phase of software development would be and what will be the differentiator that defines your(could be your product) success?
