When you re trying to cover multiple platforms with your brand and also cover other platforms for your business account, things can get a little out of hand.
How do you manage your communities and everything that comes with it?
I've been thinking about this while getting closer to launching my own product.
There are so many new products launching every day that simply saying I built this doesn't really give someone a reason to try it.
So when you discover a product built by a solo founder or a very small team then what actually makes you stop scrolling and to look what they really built?
Is it the problem they're solving, demo, story behind the product, social proof, recommendations from others or something else?

Hey hunters, My Product Video Explorer is going to launch on Friday, and it's just around the corner. https://www.producthunt.com/prod... I'm a bit nervous about it and wondering what I should do to prepare in the last few hours. Do you have any suggestions?
Scrolled past another "$10k MRR in 3 months" post today and caught myself doing the thing I always do, opening my own dashboard right after just to compare, even though I already knew the number and knew comparing wouldn't change anything about my day.
My product's been live for four months. Small but steady group of users, a few of them genuinely rely on it, and I used to feel good about that until these posts started showing up in my feed constantly. Now every milestone I hit feels smaller the second I see someone else's bigger one, even when logically I know we started at different times, with different amounts of runway, different audiences, sometimes different definitions of what counts as revenue in the first place.
I know the screenshots are a highlight reel and not the full picture. Doesn't stop the comparison from happening automatically before I can catch it.
Does this fade the longer you build, or does it just get replaced by a new person to compare yourself to every time? And if you've found something that actually helps, not just "don't compare yourself to others" as advice, but something you actually do when it happens, Or does it motivate you more? I'd genuinely like to hear it.
I'm researching a topic of benefits for freelancers and self-employed, like the ones that people usually have in big companies (sick pay, family leave, insurance, etc). Would love your opinion on how fellow makers are dealing with this and whether there're any solutions that you use. Thank you!
