Last night, I stayed up until early morning, my eyes fixated on the rankings. Four hours after we launched Codebay, we were at the #7. Considering we only had 35 notified before launch, I really felt satisfied. But then votes started to trickle in slower, and I notice that we were not far ahead of the ones behind us in the rankings. I started to stress over whether we'd slip out of the top ten. But, around 8 hours after going live, votes for Codebay started pouring in, we've been climbing up the ladder since and currently, we secured a spot in the #3. With two more hours left, we hope we can keep it up. In the end, it's not all about the rankings. What I'm truly grateful for is each and every one of you who took the time to drop us comments and share your insightful thoughts. You've no idea how much your honest feedback matters to us. I'm well aware Codebay could use more work to be better, and we welcome all of your suggestions and pointers in the future. It's not about the glory of those ranks, it’s about creating a tool that makes learning to code fun and accessible to everyone. And that is what we're really after! Once the day winds down, I intend to pen down an article outlining the ups and downs of our launch. Rest assured, I will share everything that I have learnt from this experience. Hopefully, our insights will prove beneficial for those of you gearing up for your own launches.

Absolutely love the innovation of this product! It offers so many key benefits that would definitely make daily tasks easier. Just a thought, have you considered adding a feature for X?🤔 It might give an extra edge. Keep up the great work!👍 Excited for future updates!

Congrats, Shan! Gutted to lose out the #3 position but I'm glad that it was you guys - Codebay is interesting, and I really mean it! I'm quite proficient in several programming languages but Python isn't in my repertoire so I do wanna check it out for myself. Congratulations again for the successful launch! Up is the only way forward 🚀

Congratulation Shane! I'm sure the launch day was a big rush, especially when you are contending for the first spots. I'd love to see an article about your experience launching on PH, and hopefully we'll see you again launching here when your Codebay gets even better than it is.
