Over the last year, my LinkedIn feed slowly became harder to use.

Not because of a lack of content but because of too much noise.

I kept seeing:

• Liked by X posts from people I don t follow

• Promoted posts that look like normal content

• Jobs in my home feed (even though there s a Jobs tab)

• Reshared content with zero context

• Ads disguised as posts

This summer, we made a bold decision to launch on Product Hunt. The problem? We had zero idea how to actually do it.

Well, almost zero. Our CTO @mokosiy was a massive Product Hunt fan, and his enthusiasm was our only compass. He armed us with the right stack: Cursor for code, PostHog for analytics, latest .NET and Avalonia to build the gorgeous app.

The Reality Check By August, the "Launching Soon" label we were banking on had vanished. We were flying blind. That's when the real work began. I didn't just read the guidelines; I followed them to the letter. We had to change the date of the Product Hunt launch five times. We realized that we weren't ready.
