About

I am a product strategist with a background in education and civic tech, focused on building tools that truly serve people. I care deeply about intentional UX, thoughtful research, and writing product stories that resonate. From user research and data storytelling to UX copy and nonprofit tech, I thrive at the intersection of mission and usability especially in civic and social impact spaces. I believe great products start with empathy and end with clarity, what say you? Let’s connect and build something meaningful.

How we hit top #1 on Product Hunt— and what I’d change next time to achieve way better results

Hi PH community,

My team and I just launched Byterover a self-improving memory layer for coding agents on AI IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

We ve been sitting at #1 for the past 18 hours since launch. Super grateful but I also think we could ve done a lot better with better prep.

Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

What is the best feature of your product and how would you describe it?

We sell daily.

Not only in our business life, but also in our personal life.

What we need to do is convince people that our product or our personality is the best possible option they can choose from.
