Crossing 10,000 Users in Just 3 Months 🚀

by

Still feels unreal. Last week, we crossed 10,000 people using Pretty Prompt!

Just 3 months after launch 🤯.

What started as a weekend hack to solve our own problem, is now loved by so many users around the world!

And it all started in Product Hunt 🫶.

How did we get here? Honestly, no perfect playbook. Just building, shipping, listening, and iterating.

I wrote an article about it in case it helps anyone in this community.

To all of you, thank you. You’ll always be our first 10,000 🙏.

Your feedback, questions, and suggestions are what make this product better every day.

We’re just getting started. Here’s to the next 50k, 100k, and beyond 🚀.

Give Pretty Prompt a try.

Also, you can see the launch post, just 3 months ago, here on Product Hunt!

Congratulations, @ilaiszp! It's impressive to see our community rallying behind outstanding products. Will we see a relaunch soon, or are you focused on enhancing the current offering?

Ilai Szpiezak
@juan prepping for a relaunch soon! So much to share 🫶 (Btw, I’m also from Argentina, and Milanesa is my favourite food 🤤)
Juan Secchi

@ilaiszp oooh! so happy to see more makers from back home!! Excited for that relaunch, get in touch if you need anything!

Incredible growth. Did you focus on paid ads at all, or was it 100% organic?

Ilai Szpiezak

@abod_rehman 100% organic! We haven't spend any cash on marketing yet. And hope to keep it like that for as long as possible 🫶

Matt Carroll

@abod_rehman  @ilaiszp very impressive. what channels have worked the best for you?

Ilai Szpiezak

@abod_rehman  @catt_marroll So far Product Hunt was actually really powerful! I still get people telling me they found us here!

Also, we got featured in various newsletters organically, after PH launch, that was good.

But in all honesty, creating constant content, sharing updates and posting in various platforms was a big driver! I post on LinkedIn daily, 5 days a week, without excuses 😅. Here's the post announcing the 10k users on LinkedIn as an example!

Wow, congratulations! 🎉 Hitting 10,000 users in just 3 months is phenomenal. Love how you turned a weekend hack into something people genuinely love.

Curious, what was the biggest surprise or learning from those first 10k users that you didn’t expect when you launched on Product Hunt?

Ilai Szpiezak
@ritik_ranjan it’s not the number of features, it’s the simplicity of the product that wins 🙌
Ritik Ranjan

@ilaiszp That makes so much sense! Simplicity really does win, easy to use, easy to love. Excited to see how Pretty Prompt keeps growing! 🚀

Ilai Szpiezak

@ritik_ranjan Thanks! And if you try it out and love it/hate it/have any feedback let me know!

Ritik Ranjan

@ilaiszp Awesome, Ilai! I’ve already installed the extension and will dive in soon, looking forward to sharing my thoughts. Love how simplicity really shines here!

Yuze Li

Congrats! @ilaiszp and thanks for sharing the article, this is exactly the kind of tips I was looking for as we are launching the product soon. Exciting!

Ilai Szpiezak

@yuze_li exciting times! Just keep building, launching and iterating. no other secret!

Also, if you prompt, try Pretty Prompt!

What tools do you use to build auth, pricing, and subscription management for this? I'm searching for an easy way for that (preferrably no code).

Ilai Szpiezak

@mohtamohit Many different tools, Stripe for payments, auth is with google login, subscription management also Stripe because payments go through it, but we built a lot of the backend logic ourselves

Sheraz Abdul Hayee

@ilaiszp Thats a great milestone to achieve. Looking forward to your relaunch!

Ilai Szpiezak

@sheraz_abdul_hayee Thank you!! Please give it a go in the meantime!

Madison Tesimale

Congrats! What a great accomplishment in 3 months! I’m curious to know what your original goal was to hit at the 3 month mark?!

Ilai Szpiezak
@madison_tesimale thanks! In all honesty we didn’t have a goal set. The goal was to have users who love the product and use it daily! We’re focusing on user love, as a metric :)
Tim Monzures

Huge milestone—congrats @ilaiszp ! 🚀 Love how you kept it simple: build, ship, listen, repeat. Curious: was there a specific moment or feature where you felt the growth really started to compound?

Ilai Szpiezak

@monzures Thanks! We didn't see a clear "growth" with features, but we did see it when people started sharing it in their own networks, communities or even newsletters.

Definitely early days, but working hard to get to the next milestone! It's like having a bonfire, we need to keep pouring gas, so it keeps the fire alive 🔥

“Solve a problem..bigger the better” - I think that’s the key. Interestingly our product (MarketFit) that launches on Sep 28th has the tagline “Sales AI. Don’t sell. Solve Problems”. And it was sort of an accidental product while i was trying to solve a big sales problem. Also, we kept it simple too. And that was one point we debated. And finally settled on let’s solve what we are solving and that’s it. By the way, read the article too - very well said.
Andrei Tudor

Wow, congratulations - that's an amazing milestone after just 3 months! What's next for Pretty Prompt?

Ilai Szpiezak

@andreitudor14 Thanks!! We've got super big plans! But keeping it simple.

We'll do a new launch on PH soon 🎉

Want to improve the user experience, Improving the prompting use cases(for users who need Vibe Coding, Creating Images or Videos, etc.) and expanding to more platforms like Perplexity, Lovable, and more.

There's a lot more but this is coming soon!
