🚀 3 Months of Reddit Marketing — Lessons from a Total Beginner
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m part of the marketing team at @Lumi.new, and three months ago, my teammate and I — total Reddit newbies — decided to experiment with Reddit as a growth channel. Since then, we’ve gone viral, got removed by mods, and learned a ton. 😅 Here’s a summary of what actually worked (and what didn’t) 👇 ✅ Launch-style posts worked surprisingly well We targeted subreddits where our...
#5 on Product Hunt with zero top hunter support — was it luck or strategy? 🤔
🚀 We launched @Lumi.new on Product Hunt last week — ended the day at #5 of the day. Not the #1 you often see here, but for us as a small indie team, it felt like a big win. Here’s what we learned along the way: 1. No “top hunter”? Still possible. We didn’t have a top hunter submit our product. As a result, the first hours were really quiet. Visibility was low and it felt discouraging. But once...
🚀 From #6 to #5 in the last 10 minutes — Lumi.new’s first Product Hunt launch!
🚀 What a ride! Yesterday we launched Lumi.new on Product Hunt — and just 1 hour later, we were featured. After 24 hours, Lumi reached: ✨ 219 points ✨ 304 new followers ✨ Day Rank #5 In the last 10 minutes, we almost thought we’d stay at #6… but we pushed forward and made it one step higher. That small win felt huge for us, especially since it was our very first launch on Product Hunt. 🎉 What is...
🎉 From anxiety to Featured in 1 hour! 🚀
🌟 What a rollercoaster! As one of the team members behind Lumi.new, I’ll admit — during the first hour after launch, the upvotes were few and I felt pretty anxious. But to our surprise, Lumi was selected as Product Hunt’s Daily Featured right after. 🎉 It was such an encouraging reminder that persistence pays off — where there’s a will, there’s a way. 💪 Lumi is an all-in-one no-code platform...
What new features did you add to your project recently?
I’m always curious about the projects people here are working on, so I thought I’d kick things off by sharing mine. I’m building Lumi.new — an AI builder that lets you create custom apps or websites just by chatting. No rigid steps, no templates. You describe what you want, and Lumi spins up the whole thing — from UI to database to auth — all in one flow. At the same time, I submitted some new...
Young makers & indie hackers — what are you building?
Hey Product Hunt 👋 Curious to see what other young makers, students, and indie hackers are building right now! Always love seeing side projects and early-stage apps come to life 🚀 For me: I’m working on lumi.new with some friends — an AI coding assistant that lets you make apps and websites just by chatting. Still super early, but learning tons and excited to connect with others in the same...
Marketing manager building AI coding tools with some friends
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Shirley, a marketing manager currently building Lumi.new with some friends. It’s a natural-language-to-code playground — think AI coding, but with stronger handling of more complex scenarios (though it’s not always easy to show that in a quick demo). The journey so far has been a mix of exciting progress and plenty of learning curves. Balancing product development and...
