Hey, PH folks!

I'm currently researching the Nostr ecosystem (a decentralised social protocol) for an article and I was wondering:

1. Have any of you launched a Nostr-based project on Product Hunt?

2. What does traction usually look like in this space?

3. Besides Primal's $1m funding round, are there any other examples of successful fundraising in this ecosystem?

It feels like a fast-moving, developer-driven space, but it s still hard to tell where the real opportunities lie.

After hours of reading best practices, crafting the perfect assets and assembling what felt like a bulletproof plan, we were ready to launch on Product Hunt. We worked so hard and genuinely believed we d wake up to thousands of sign ups and the Product of the Day badge.

The reality was very different. We saw a tiny boost in sign ups, got stuck at around 200 upvotes, and to top it off, finished below a food blender.

While preparing for our launch and browsing the upcoming launches, I asked myself what the best move would be for choosing a day:

1. Pick a day when you have less competition (e.g., fewer products and/or fewer similar products).

2. Pick the day where the most products are launched. More products = more teams pushing = more people likely to discover your product.
