Be transparent. Share your journey. Let people watch you build something from nothing. The openness creates accountability, builds audience, attracts early users who care about the product before it launches.
For a lot of builders, it worked exactly like that.
Yesterday, Honestly launched on Product Hunt and finished with 480 upvotes and 130 comments, placing us among the top products of the day.
We ultimately finished 2nd and, more importantly, we had the opportunity to share our vision with thousands of founders, marketers, and product builders who believe customer feedback should be honest and accessible.
We are thankful beyond words for the support we received
As you may know, we just launched Dirac yesterday!
This is one small step towards building a better email for all of us who are stuck being our own email assistants.
The launch was incredibly fun for me as the Maker of Dirac. Many of you guys signed up for Dirac and our 100 founder members are starting to fill up spots.
