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.

My hypotheses for FoundersAround failed. What would you do next?

Hey PH

I spent last month testing some assumptions like: founders want to meet others in-person. These assumptions failed as it's not as simple as that. There are some intricacies.

Well, I think will come back to the original asusmption that sort of worked. People liked being on the map, sharing their profile, and getting discovered.
