We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the entire Product Hunt community.
Reaching #2 Product of the Day was an incredible milestone for us, but what we'll remember most are the conversations, thoughtful questions, and valuable feedback we received throughout the launch.
To everyone who supported IvyForms, shared their ideas, or simply took the time to check out what we're building, thank you. Your feedback is already helping shape what's coming next, and we can't wait to continue building and sharing our progress with you.
When we launched Murror's delete feature, we thought of it as housekeeping. Users write messy drafts, clean up later. Standard stuff.
Then we looked at the data. About 15% of entries were being deleted within minutes of writing them. Not drafts. Not typos. Full, completed entries that users wrote, read back, and chose to erase.
I was rereading parts of The Mom Test, and it reminded me how easy it is to mistake politeness for validation.
Someone says the idea sounds useful, they like the direction, they would definitely try it, and maybe they even suggest a few features. It feels like progress, but sometimes they are just being nice.
The dangerous part is that polite feedback does not feel negative. It gives you just enough confidence to keep building without proving whether the problem is actually painful.
I think the harder skill is learning to ignore compliments and look for behavior instead.
