Launched Ericeira review on Product Hunt this week and the more interesting signal came right after.

The product was already getting traction on the user side:

1.2k+ pageviews

420+ visitors

The core problem was simple: the best local knowledge here lives in WhatsApp chats, casual recommendations, and scattered tourist pages. Google Maps gives you listings, but not much context. I wanted something more editorial, more opinionated, and more useful if you actually want to know where to eat, surf, work, or spend time in town.

So I built a product that combines:

• structured local listings

• community reviews

• editorial recommendations

• business claim flows

• better discovery than a generic directory

Early traction has been encouraging. In the first 19 public days, it reached 421 visitors, 1,256 pageviews, 46 five-star reviews, and 118 Instagram referrals.
