🎉 2025 was absolutely wild - 0 to 19k users in 7 months
While flying ✈️ to Argentina to visit my family for the New Year, I scrolled through my phone and realized how much happened since we launched Pretty Prompt on Product Hunt 7 months ago.
Here’s a little photo-dump recap:
1️⃣ Pivoted from @Dolphin AI to @Pretty Prompt (super scary at first 😅)
2️⃣ Grew from 0 → 19,000 users (and counting!)
3️⃣ Built something people genuinely love (200+ 5-star reviews 🫶)
4️⃣ Shipped 166 product tickets (and… many more bugs 🐛)
5️⃣ Took a trip to NY with my co-founder @charlie_day
6️⃣ Met early users in person (and had lunch at LinkedIn inside the Empire State building!)
7️⃣ Recorded a podcast with Google Chrome for Developers (coming soon in 2026)
8️⃣ Recorded 2 interviews + gave a talk at Stripe (with over 190k views!)
9️⃣ Met some of the best people in the industry (from @Miro, @Plain, and @Figma)
🔟 And… we stayed alive another year as a startup 💪
Thank you for believing in us and for being the cheerleaders of Pretty Prompt.
The thing I'm most proud of is that we did it our way.
Bootstrapped, enjoying every single day of building, shipping, and focusing on one thing only: our users.
No investors, no stakeholders, just us and our people. It’s ok to do things differently sometimes… There's so much more to come.
Have a very (Pretty) 2026 ❤️
(PS: We'll be doing our re-launch 1.0 soon in PH, so give us a follow if you love Pretty Prompt!)

Wow, sometimes it is hard to imagine how this can be achieved in less than a year. :D You are pretty effective, so I suppose the next year will be even better for you! :) Wish you nice holidays!

@ilaiszp Many people quit too soon. To resist is the way to go :)
Congratulations on the pivot! What is your biggest takeaway from growing to 19k users, aside from making a good product?
