We hit #1 Product of the Day — sharing our full 2-week launch journey

Hey everyone!

Yesterday was a wild ride for us. Swytchcode ended up winning #1 Product of the Day on 16th Nov 2025, finishing with exactly 400 votes, something we genuinely didn t expect.
We went in thinking the top product would land around 250 300 votes (on a Sunday) but three products crossed 300, and somehow we climbed all the way to the top.

🤖 Is your AI hurting your pricing model?

Added AI features to make users more efficient? That's great... until you realize they need fewer seats but get 10x more value.
