Hey Product Hunt! I'm Thorin, and I'm thrilled to finally share SkyPilot with you all today. After months of development, our comprehensive scheduling and analytics platform for Bluesky is officially launched! I'll be hanging out here all day (and beyond!) to answer any and all of your questions. Whether you're curious about the technical challenges of building on the AT Protocol, my vision for...

Hey Product Hunters! Today, I'm incredibly excited to launch SkyPilot, a tool born directly from my own needs. As an active Bluesky user, especially for promoting crowdfunding projects, I quickly realized the platform lacked the scheduling and analytics features I needed to consistently grow my audience and understand what was working. So, I started building a series of personal scripts. These...

Stripe would be an instant buy for me. Databricks and Canva would also be top choices. As far as AI goes, I'd invest in Anthropic or Mistral before putting money into OpenAI. Personally, I think OpenAI has peaked and has begun on a long, slow downward slope. Once they lost Mira Murati as CTO, I think they lost the driving force behind their tech talent.

Great story! And a great reminder about tenacity.

This is a great list that highlights what works. But what mistakes did you make along the way?

Truthfully, I have been underwhelmed thus far.

Great article. Definitely skews towards bootstrapped startups. I wonder how the numbers would change if more VC funded startups considered.

I love that you can connect custom MCP servers. Makes for a good deal of flexibility.

I usually aim to try out one a day, but I admit I skip a day now and then.

I think B2B tools are overrepresented here because Product Hunt is a site frequented by founders and other business types, so it's a great place to market them.

I'm not to this stage yet, but I'm watching this thread closely. Personally, gathering testimonials and continuing a newsletter both should beneficial.

What tips would you suggest for nuturing community?

I'm glad to hear that the second launch went better and it's useful to hear about what worked and didn't work on the second launch. I do have a question about your list, though. Don't all launches begin at midnight PT? Or is there some scheduling option that I'm missing? I ask because I launch in one week, and am trying to make sure that I don't miss anything about the process.

I like the clean design and good use of space.

Thanks! This was an interesting read, and covers an aspect that I've never really dissected before.

Good advice! Though I worry about my audience experiencing launch fatigue.

That's a slick dashboard!

For me, my plan would be to get a good night's sleep, then take a day or two off to think things through. Then I'd dust off my resume and reach out to contacts. It's always better to apply to places when you have an in, rather than trying to send out applications cold.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but as a Django dev, this looks like a great starting point!
