We just hit #1 on Product Hunt today. 🚀

Honestly, the ranking was exciting, but the interesting part was everything that happened behind it.

We’ve spent the last few months building Meridian, and today was the first time we put it in front of a much larger audience.

A few things surprised me:

→ People cared about the problem more than we expected
→ The best feedback came from people who had never heard of us
→ Getting attention is much easier than keeping it
→ A launch gives you a very different kind of product feedback
→ “We built it” quickly turns into “now we have to prove it”

And perhaps the biggest lesson:

Launching a product is not the finish line. It’s the first real test.

We’re still learning, fixing things, and talking to as many developers as possible.

But waking up and seeing #1 Product of the Day next to something we started building a few months ago was pretty surreal.
