@jack_wright1 Hey! I mean designernews.co. It like a hackernews for design/front-end related things.

Jack Wright · Answer

@dimabraven Sweet! I'll keep an eye out for them!

Jack Wright · Answer

@dimabraven I know all of these except DN, what's that??

Jack Wright · Answer

@dimabraven I'm digging itmeo too! Keep pushing it. Just found these guys. Similar, but different. Might offer extra inspiration if they're not on your radar. https://www.ls.graphics/

Yet to go for Mail Shield. As for 3o2.co it came 100% organically ... :)

Jack Wright · Answer

@dimabraven haha, as a designer I probably should have known this one! 😂

Thanks for sharing!

Speaking of hackernews... they could really use some design love. I feel like I go a bit cross eyed every time I'm on there.

Hacker News and Subreddits, Jooseph is a place where you can follow and share curated collections of links for learning. So, we have shared our first list on related subreddits

@gabe_ragland gave that a shot, only heard crickets. Maybe bad timing.

Friends and family on facebook. Create a Facebook page for your product and ask your friends and family to share. Depending on your friends list it could go either way but its free.

FB ads!

Gabe Ragland · Answer

@httpmax yeah it can be pretty hit or miss. My main suggestions are 1) doing a “Show HN” with a really thoughtful, honest introductory comment (you really don’t want it to come off like you’re just hitting up the HN community for traffic) and 2) line up some people ahead of time to ask questions to get the conversation going

First 100 user are mostly your friends and family members. Share your app link with them. Use your personal social media accounts to connect with them and request them for feedback and review. @gilliy

Gabe Ragland · Answer

For Divjoy the first 100 users came from the Hacker News launch (was on front-page all day).
