This is the story of how we stayed alive, and replaced our pre-seed with actual sales.
Two months ago, we ran a lifetime deal on AppSumo. The outcome? - 5,000+ new users - Over 100 5-star reviews - A full year of runway Lifetime deals feel scary. How can you know what will happen to your startup when you don t even know what you ll have for breakfast tomorrow? But if the definition of a founder is staying alive, we did what we had to do to stay alive. And I m so fricking proud of what we ve built so far. No VCs. No Harvard. No pitch decks. Just us, a Chrome Extension, and our customers. People are loving Pretty Prompt. And saying things like: "The best tool I have purchased over the years". "Paid for itself in the first week." Wrote the full story here: https://prettypromptai.substack.... Here s to the next 12 months, fully backed by our customers
Today we're starting to build a Mac App. @Pretty Prompt is coming to desktop, I am superduper excited. The logic: We built a tool to help people craft better prompts. It's on us to make that tool work wherever people actually work. AI is moving to desktop. Not just in the browser. Everywhere. For months, the number one request has been a native desktop app. It's brand new territory for us, especially for me. We had never built a Chrome extension before Pretty Prompt but we learned by doing. Now, we are doing it again: Figuring it out as we go. Pretty Prompt has 45,000 users today. And it started right here on Product Hunt. Will the Mac App take us to 100,000? Who wants to be a beta tester? would love to have you onboard. PS: I have no idea how this will work out. Send coffee
Hi Ilai, Huge fan of the product, I've been a user since you launched on producthunt of so long ago, curious if you have plans for a dedicated desktop app? I find the context switch between browser and vs code/other apps is distracting and it would be awesome to have the ability to just short cut key into pretty prompt. Thanks, SteveC
