Sebastian Patterson's profile on Product Hunt

About

I enjoy discovering new products, exploring how they solve real world problems, and understanding the thinking behind their development. I’m particularly interested in branding, user experience, product positioning, and the way great teams communicate value to their audience. I like engaging with makers, asking thoughtful questions, and sharing constructive feedback that helps uncover strengths, opportunities, and areas for improvement. Whether it's a new startup, an AI tool, or a creative project, I'm always curious about the people, strategies, and ideas that turn innovative concepts into products users genuinely love.

Have your ever overestimated your numbers while starting you distribution journey?

While I was starting distribution of my first saas, one thing which I overestimated was that the sales would happen very quickly as the product I made was good enough for it. Turns out, the product did not even had a market fit. I also ran ads with a very small budget and thought it will easily be gained within a few days, and I was very wrong here.

AI also does the same thing. If you ask it to expect some numbers based on what people experience for your saas when you distribute with some method X, it will show some very aspirational numbers. But, when ask it to be honest or practical or brutally honest for the same, it's answer changes (in some cases, significantly).

What's one launch day advice you wish someone told you beforehand?

Getting close to launching mine and honestly more nervous about launching than the product. What's something you'd tell a first timer to avoid? And on the flip side, what's something that worked way better than you expected going in?

Curious to hear how it went for you.

do you build cross-platform from day 1, or deal with it once people ask?

I have been thinking about this a lot lately and curious how the rest of you handle it..

forexample, you ship your app on one platform say mac, or web, or just windows it gets some traction, and then the requests start rolling in: any linux version? when windows?? pls make it work on X
