Advice for a first-time founder when a launch does not meet expectations

If your launch does not go as planned, do not judge it too quickly.
Avoid the instinct to immediately add more features or pivot the product.

Instead, pause and evaluate what already exists.
Check whether the core features are clearly communicated, fully polished, and genuinely solve the intended problem.
Often, the issue is not the idea, but the execution, positioning, or user experience.

Refine what you have. Improve clarity, usability, onboarding, and messaging.
Then relaunch with focus and confidence.

Many products fail not because they were wrong, but because they were unfinished, unclear, or rushed.

What Was Your Biggest Achievement of 2025?

Hi PH fam,

As 2025 comes to a close, it s time to pause and reflect.

Every journey has its milestones. Some loud, some quiet. Some planned, some unexpected.

What was your biggest achievement of 2025?
It could be a goal you finally reached, a habit you built, a fear you overcame, or simply not giving up when things got tough.

Which of your projects are you the proudest?

I don't usually dwell on what I've done, but sometimes I should probably be happy about everything I do (even if it's not the most successful).

Because I forget to enjoy the completion of something, and that can lead to burnout.

What’s your best advice to make a successful launch?

Scheduled my Product Hunt launch for 20th October (Monday)
After ViralSort s first launch success and becoming #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt, I received a flood of feedback, feature ideas, and suggestions.

After 10 months of design, development, and countless improvements, I m back with ViralSort 2.0, a tool that helps you discover the Instagram Reels that made your competitors go viral and manage your entire content journey from idea to upload, all in one powerful dashboard.

So, what s your best advice to make it a successful launch?

Anything you wish you d done differently?

Does Launching with a Hunter Really Make a Difference?

Hi everyone,

I m about to launch my product, ViralSort 2.0, and I m exploring whether to launch with a Product Hunt hunter or do it on my own.
I ve launched a few products both with hunters and independently, but I m still not convinced which approach truly drives more visibility, engagement, or traction.
Has anyone tried launching with a hunter?
Did it make a noticeable difference, or would you recommend submitting independently?
I d love to hear your experiences, insights, or even lessons learned from both approaches!

Got My First 100 Users in 25 Days πŸš€

114 users | #2 Product of the Day on Product Hunt I m excited to share that I got 114 users for ViralSort in just 25 days! It all started in early December when I noticed how time-consuming it was for creators to discover trending content. That s when I built ViralSort, a Chrome extension that lets you sort Instagram Reels by likes, comments, and views. After publishing it on the Chrome Web Store on Dec 7, the journey began. Here s how we reached 114 users by Jan 1: 1 Small but Mighty Network. I reached out to friends, mentors, and people I know. Their support played a key role in getting those first 9 users. 2 Organic Growth. I published ViralSort on the Chrome Web Store on Dec 7, and its simplicity and usefulness brought in 30 users organically without any promotion. 3 Product Hunt Launch. On Dec 30, I launched ViralSort on Product Hunt, and it gained 84 users in just 3 days, earning the #2 Product of the Day. Product Hunt provided the visibility to scale quickly. Here's the launch page - https://www.producthunt.com/post... It started as a simple idea to help find trending Reels, and now it's helping creators plan better content. This is just the beginning!
