Hey Product Hunt!
This morning I launched my first solo product ever: Controol a minimalist finance app built around one idea:

Know how much you can spend, not just what you already did.

No team. No paid ads. No launch list. Just late nights and building something I personally needed.
I honestly didn t expect much but hours later, it made it to the Top 5 of the day

The feeling? Wild.
Strangers are connecting with the mindset behind it, and it's been amazing to read their comments.

From testing new products, I've come to several conclusions and possibly also identified mistakes that product creators make when launching them.

Whenever you want to attract your first testers (especially those who are well-known), try first to build up your credibility.
