Did Appwrite do the ideal Product Hunt launch?

Appwrite last launched on Product Hunt a month ago. It was their fourth launch here, and they really nailed it:

  • #1 Product of the Day

  • #1 Developer Tool of the Week

  • #1 Developer Tool of the Month

What Appwrite did right

How do you collect feedback from beta users before your PH launch?

I have launched on PH twice but before launching, I always prefer to share the product with at least 20 potential users over DM. The goal is to get early feedback and testimonials. This helps me understand what s working (or not) in the copy, design, offer, value proposition, etc.
Based on those early insights, I iterate quickly and it could be small tweaks or full rewrites, depending on what people are saying.

To make it easy for them to say yes and share feedback, I create a no-brainer offer (like 70 90% discount) and DM potential users on X asking for feedback.
What s your pre launch strategy for collecting feedback and improving your product before launching on PH?
P.S. Here s a sample DM I use to get early feedback for Boringlaunch:
Hey [User Name]

We ve just launched (product name) for [Industry/Category/Domain/Target Audience]

It might be a great fit for your [product name].
