What does it mean to be #1 Product of the day on product hunt!!
Meridian finished as the #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt.
The rush, the overnight exitement, the hype and the time was amzaing. Watching the votes come in, responding to comments, and seeing people share Meridian made the long night worth it.
The ranking was exciting, but the real value came from seeing developers connect with a problem we had experienced ourselves: debugging, code reviews, fixes, and unplanned tasks often go unrecorded, even though they are essential to moving projects forward. Being #1 gave us visibility and validation, but it also raised a bigger question: what happens when the launch-day momentum fades? The badge is temporary, so the real measure is whether that attention turns into lasting growth.
The launch gave us direct feedback, brought new users to Meridian, and started meaningful conversations about making invisible engineering work visible.
For other founders, what changed after launch day? Did it lead to sustained users, partnerships, or investor interest?

Our PH launch was far lower in the daily rankings but still attracted substantial investor attention (currently in talks with several). If you're looking to raise funds, ensure your deck, one-pager, and supplemental materials are ready to go. Investor interest will fade if they sense you are not ready to proceed.
@benjaminpatch Thank you Benjamin, your response is helpful to me.

@benjaminpatch Thanks for the advice! We’re actively raising, so we’ll make sure our deck and supporting materials are ready before following up with investors.
