How (not) to gather first users when you are an unknown brand. May be helpful to new product makers

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.

I'm building an Agile focus timer that uses Fibonacci for Estimates

My hypothesis is that using The Fibonacci Sequence will help you estimate focus periods similar to how it's used in Agile to estimate task complexity. My focus timer also takes a more Agile approach to break taking, and time tracking. Follow my launch if interested: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Was it a mistake to call natural language processing AI?

To me it doesn't seem like it's really artificial intelligence like we all imagined it.

An app that challenges you to finish tasks faster, anyone?

The idea is that when you're trying to meet your estimates, you stay more focused. So... I made an app that let's you make one click estimates. Anyone want to try?

9 Months Post-Product Hunt Launch: The Grind Continues + A Few Pointers!

It's now been almost 9 months since we launched Stockle 2.0 on Product Hunt. Even though we've (two dev team) been bootstrapping the product for a few years, we feel like we're just now starting to see significant traction in our MRR and site visits. What's the main thing that's different now? I'd say it's simply that the product is much better compared to a year ago, no question about it. Here are a few key lessons from the journey so far: * Building a product isn't a sprint. While some products may gain a massive audience in just a few weeks, the reality is that this is often the exception, especially if you don t have an existing audience, 100% top notch product or tons of money for ads right from the get go. If you're confident there's a potential audience for your project but they just haven t found it yet, keep grinding. Focus on iterating and improving your product over time. * Shipping fast doesn t mean shipping garbage. It means iterating quickly to learn what your users truly want, without compromising on quality. * Utilize every social platform for marketing. Experiment with different platforms to find out which works best for your product. If you're in the early stages of building a user base, testing various platforms can actually give unexpected insights. Even smaller social platforms might prove to be pretty valuable. Thanks for reading! Also, Stockle is in the fintech category of the Golden Kitty Awards. Check out all the products and support your favorite! https://www.producthunt.com/gold...

Is it Agile?

I built an app that uses the Fibonacci numbers for task estimates. The idea is similar to sprint planning in Agile where you use the Fibonacci sequence to estimate task complexity. However, my app is designed for personal productivity. Is it Agile? https://spiralzen.com

Are there real benefits of getting listed on TAAFT?

I'm exploring different options to get more organic traffic to our product draftly.so. We are already listed on most of the FREE directory listing and now I'm exploring paid directories. I came across TAAFT (There's an AI for that) and found it interesting. Have you listed your AI product on it? If yes, what benefits have you got from it? Would love to hear your learnings and insights. Thanks in advance.
