Huge Congrats @jamie_mcgaw and @austin_buell. It has been inspiring to watch your journey and support as best we can!

It is great to see experienced entrepreneurs moving quickly on the AI era. I am confident these guys will have staying power and build a killer solution.

Being a multi product maker is a big deal. Congrats on the launch.

Hey Product Hunt, A huge thanks to our 500+ customers who signed up for Zipcan beta, provided feedback and upgraded early to the full product we are launching today!! What is Zipcan? Using only an embed code, any website or web product can add customized video chat to existing experiences. How does it work? 🔨 Zipcan provides a simple admin to configure a video chat space with settings and a...

Congrats @godofmadnessss You had a great program with version 1.0 so I am excited to see how this has evolved. What is your favorite aspect of the 2.0 version?

Side projects are always hard to prioritize. Last week I was able to get my passion project over the finish line. Whole Life Meditation is a guided process to visualize your life in one sitting. Would love any feedback you have!

Creating new things is incredibly fulfilling, especially when it is a novel idea and slightly wacky 😜 . Like the makers of The Useless Web or MindF*** and mmhmm. Whole Life Meditation is a zany product, but it packs a punch 🤜 of insight and clarity when you try it. When the idea for Whole Life Meditation came to me, I realized it was the easiest thing to prototype EVER. All I needed was time...

We are working on Zipcan. Beta customers that signed up through Product Hunt have now gotten access to the full product 💥 I agree with @5harath and @fscholz that shipping early and often is the right approach. Going deeper on that, we have built in stages ALPHA (people we already knew) > BETA (Public release on Product Hunt) > FULL RELEASE INVITE (All beta customers + targeted marketing for...

My paper journal. Should have used it more in the early days, but it comes in handy as things get complex - both business models and people scaling issues 🚀 (Evernote if you really wanted it to be favorite digital tool:)

I have a related question, what are the boundaries of no code tools? Are they based on ease of use or category? For example, if you have to copy embed codes or insert JS is that no code? Can no code exist in every category or is it mainly focused on tools like content, data or CRM management?

I am a huge Seth Godin fan. Linchpin changed how I think about my work. Purple Cow changed how I think about product creation. Tribes changed how I market the products I create.

Always start on paper.

Congrats on the launch @lluis_m_ventura

We have 2 founders and 3 engineers on our team. Here is how we found the engineers -1 through toptal.com, 1 I had done some work with in the past and 1 reached out to me on Slack after we did our beta lunch. All 3 have been great hires and we have a long future together. Finding talent through a "staffing" company like Toptal was really nice, but now bringing the talent in full time is not...

We got our first hand full of conversions from beta to paid the moment they saw the full product of zipcan.com. Encouraging but a long way to go before we launch publicly - targeting late May.

Building on the "recap" blog strategy, we did a Product Launch Playbook blog post. It clearly outlines our strategy - which we give away - but also uses the social proof and evidence that Zipcan received. We curated content from Product Hunt, Twitter and PR. Search 'zipcan product launch playbook' to check it out.

#1 by far is offering a product that is free or low entry point. Ideally it hints at your value proposition quickly.
