I noticed a pattern I kept repeating and I see it a lot with other makers too.

Late-night idea.
Instant domain purchase.
Quick dopamine hit.
Zero users.

Honestly, I was nervous. Putting something you ve built out into the world isn t easy.

I chose Product Hunt because I wanted real feedback from real people and that s exactly what I got. I also gained great visibility, connected with many new clients, and met founders who truly get the journey.

What surprised me most was how supportive the community is. It didn t feel noisy or competitive it felt human.

If you re building something and hesitating to share it, I get it. But Product Hunt made that step feel a lot less scary.

Merry Christmas or, if you re a founder, happy I ll just check one thing day.

I genuinely wish I wasn t writing this today.
I planned to be offline. I failed.
