After months of building, breaking things, fixing them, and getting feedback from real users, I m finally launching X Intelligence tomorrow.
It s a tool that analyzes public X accounts to understand which topics, hooks and content formats actually perform better, and what might be worth testing next.
My Product Hunt launch is in two days. The gallery is ready, but it's all screenshots: a hero image and a few shots of the product in use. I don't have a video. I could spend the next two days recording one. I'd rather spend that time on the first comment and on replying to people on launch day, though, and I'm not sure a rushed video helps more than it hurts. If you've launched before, did your video actually change anything? Or did most people just look at the first image and read the tagline?
Japanese founder, 22 years selling software in Japan. Ask me anything about the Japanese market
I've been running my company in Japan for 22 years, mostly on my own. I keep seeing people here who are curious about Japan but never really try it, so I thought I'd just open it up.
So ask away. Pricing for Japanese customers, getting a Japanese team to use an English-only tool, how buying decisions get made here, whatever. I'll be answering in the comments.
Also curious, have you ever thought about selling in Japan? What stopped you?
